Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of the mRNA profile of PLCE1 knockdown in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The authors previously reported that Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) exacerbated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), however, the underlying mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to identify key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and signaling pathways regulated by PLCE1 in ESCC. EC9706 and Eca109 cell lines were transfected with the specific small interfering (si) RNA of PLCE1, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and western blotting were performed to detect the expression levels of PLCE1, and subsequently, mRNA array and multiple bioinformatics analysis were conducted. RT‑qPCR was used to verify gene expression array results. The findings of the present study indicated that PLCE1 mRNA and protein expression were s
