Identification of differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways in lung cancer using bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality worldwide. The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and enriched pathways in lung cancer by bioinformatics analysis, and to provide potential targets for diagnosis and treatment. Valid microarray data of 31 pairs of lung cancer tissues and matched normal samples (GSE19804) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Significance analysis of the gene expression profile was used to identify DEGs between cancer tissues and normal tissues, and a total of 1,970 DEGs, which were significantly enriched in biological processes, were screened. Through the Gene Ontology function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, 77 KEGG pathways asso
