Identification of potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer based on microarray data.

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most commonly diagnosed subtype of lung cancer, and the leading cause of cancer-associated mortalities worldwide. However, NSCLC is typically diagnosed at a late stage of disease due to a lack of effective diagnostic methods. In the present study, the GSE19804 dataset was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus, and a number of differentially expressed genes were identified between NSCLC and adjacent normal tissues. Based on functional and pathway enrichment analyses, five hub genes (cell-division cycle 20, centromere protein F, kinesin family member 2C, BUB1 mitotic checkpoint serine/threonine kinase and ZW10 interacting kinetochore protein) were selected. After verifying that the mRNA level of these hub genes was also upregulated in NSCLC tissu
