Identification of Potential Bisphenol A (BPA) Exposure Biomarkers in Ovarian Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can exert multiple deleterious effects and have been implicated in carcinogenesis. The xenoestrogen Bisphenol A (BPA) that is found in various consumer products has been involved in the dysregulation of numerous signalling pathways. In this paper, we present the analysis of a set of 94 genes that have been shown to be dysregulated in presence of BPA in ovarian cancer cell lines since we hypothesised that these genes might be of biomarker potential. This study sought to identify biomarkers of disease and biomarkers of disease-associated exposure. In silico analyses took place using gene expression data extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Differential expression was further validated at prote
