Expression and the Prognostic Value of Biglycan in Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biglycan (BGN) is a family member of small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans. High expression of BGN might enhance the invasion and metastasis in some types of tumors. Here, the prognostic significance of BGN was evaluated in gastric cancer. Material and Methods. Two independent Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) gastric cancer microarray datasets (n = 64 and n = 432) were collected for this study. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to evaluate if BGN impacts the outcomes of gastric cancer. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis was performed on gastric cancer-related genes and BGN targets, and those interactions with confidence interval (CI) ≥ 0.7 were chosen to construct a PPI network. The gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to explore BGN a
