Identification key genes, key miRNAs and key transcription factors of lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The etiology and pathophysiology of LUAD remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify the key genes, miRNAs and transcription factors (TFs) associated with the pathogenesis and prognosis of LUAD.

Methods

Three gene expression profiles (GSE43458, GSE32863, GSE74706) of LUAD were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by GEO2R.The Gene Ontology (GO) terms, pathways, and protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of these DEGs were analyzed. Bases on DEGs, the miRNAs and TFs were predicted. Furthermore, TF-gene-miRNA co-expression network was constructed to identify key genes, miRNAs and TFs by bioinformatic methods
