Integrative Analysis for Identification of Therapeutic Targets and Prognostic Signatures in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Differential expressions of certain genes during tumorigenesis may serve to identify novel manageable targets in the clinic. In this work with an integrated bioinformatics approach, we analyzed public microarray datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to explore the key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We identified a total of 984 common DEGs in 252 healthy and 254 NSCLC gene expression samples. The top 10 DEGs as a result of pathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction analysis were further investigated for their prognostic performances. Among these, we identified high expressions of CDC20, AURKA, CDK1, EZH2, and CDKN2A genes that were associated with significantly poorer overall survival in NSCLC pat
