Centromere protein E as a novel biomarker and potential therapeutic target for retinoblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy during childhood. Currently, there is no effective treatment for metastatic retinoblastoma. We investigated potential biomarkers of retinoblastoma by utilizing three datasets from a public database. Functional enrichment analysis, including gene ontology, Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes, gene set enrichment analysis and variation analysis, suggested that differentially expressed genes in retinoblastoma were enriched in accelerated cell cycle events. Protein-protein interaction analysis constructed a network consisting of six hub genes, including benzimidazoles 1 (BUB1), cyclin dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), centromere protein E (CENPE), kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A), PDZ binding kinase (PBK), and targeting protein for xkl
