Identification of differentially expressed genes induced by aberrant methylation in acute myeloid leukemia using integrated bioinformatics analyses.

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a life-threatening hematological malignant disease. Methylation plays a crucial role in the etiology and pathogenesis of AML. The aim of the present study was to identify the aberrantly methylated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in AML and determine the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis by conducting integrated bioinformatics analyses. Gene expression profiles (GSE109179, GSE142699, GSE49665 and GSE14772) and a gene methylation profile (GSE42042) were analyzed to identify the aberrantly methylated DEGs. Functional enrichment analyses of identified genes were conducted based on the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases, and protein-protein interaction networks were established. Finally, the DEGs were valida
