Transcriptome analysis of tongue cancer based on high‑throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Tongue cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, but its molecular etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the pathogenesis of tongue cancer and investigate novel potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Four matched pairs of tongue cancer and paracancerous tissues were collected for RNA sequencing (RNA‑Seq), and the differentially expressed genes were analyzed. The RNA‑Seq data of tongue cancer tissues were further analyzed using bioinformatics and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. The sequenced reads were quantified and qualified in accordance with the analysis demands. The transcriptomes of the tongue cancer tissues and paired paracancerous tissues were analyzed, and 1,700 upregulated and 2,249 downregulated gen
