Identification of differentially expressed key genes between glioblastoma and low-grade glioma by bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Gliomas are a very diverse group of brain tumors that are most commonly primary tumor and difficult to cure in central nervous system. It's necessary to distinguish low-grade tumors from high-grade tumors by understanding the molecular basis of different grades of glioma, which is an important step in defining new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. We have chosen the gene expression profile GSE52009 from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database to detect important differential genes. GSE52009 contains 120 samples, including 60 WHO II samples and 24 WHO IV samples that were selected in our analysis. We used the GEO2R tool to pick out differently expressed genes (DEGs) between low-grade glioma and high-grade glioma, and then we used the database for annotation, visualization and integrated
