Coexpression Analysis of the EZH2 Gene Using The Cancer Genome Atlas and Oncomine Databases Identifies Coexpressed Genes Involved in Biological Networks in Breast Cancer, Glioblastoma, and Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND This study aimed to perform coexpression analysis of the EZH2 gene using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Oncomine databases to identify coexpressed genes involved in biological networks in breast cancer, glioblastoma, and prostate cancer, with functional analysis of the EZH2 gene in the C4-2 human prostate cancer cell line in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from TCGA and Oncomine databases were analyzed to determine the expression of EZH2 and the top five coexpressed genes in breast cancer, glioblastoma, and prostate cancer and the clinical significance the coexpressed genes. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed to predict the functions and pathways of EZH2 using pathway annotation. The role of EZH2 in the C4-2 human prostate cancer cell line was studied in vitro. R
