Abstract
Gastric cancer is a type of digestive tract cancer with a high morbidity and mortality, which leads to a major health burden worldwide. More research into the functions of the immune system will improve therapy and survival in gastric cancer patients. We attempted to identify potential biomarkers or targets in gastric cancer via bioinformatical analysis approaches. Three gene expression profile datasets (GSE79973, GSE103236, and GSE118916) of gastric tissue samples were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. There were 65 overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified from three microarrays. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway were carried out for the key functions and pathways enriched in the DEGs. Then, ten hub genes were identified by protein-protein interaction network. In addition, we observed that collagen type V alpha 2 (COL5A2) was linked to gastric cancer prognosis as well as M2 macrophage infiltration. Furthermore, COL5A2 enhanced gastric cancer cell proliferation through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and polarized M2 macrophage cells. Therefore, in this study, we found that COL5A2 was associated with the development of gastric cancer which might function as a potential therapeutic target for the disease.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
