However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying this geographic heterogeneity remain unclear. This study aimed to reveal the metabolic mechanism of the geographic heterogeneity in the incidence of PC.This study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects of different gum extracts on metabolic changes and their impact on gene expression in HT-29 cell.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Transcriptomic data from public databases were obtained and analyzed to screen geographic-differentially expressed genes and metabolic pathways. Associations between these differentially expressed genes and the incidence of PC were determined to identify genes that were highly associated with PC incidence. A co-expression network analysis was performed to identify geographic-specific regulatory pathways.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 175 differentially expressed genes were identified in four countries and were associated with the regulation of DNA replication and the metabolism of pyrimidine, nucleotides, purines, and galactose.Additionally, the expression of the genes <i>CLVS2</i>, <i>SCGB1A1</i>, <i>KCNK3</i>, <i>HHIPL2</i>, <i>MMP26</i>, <i>KCNJ15</i>, and <i>PNMT</i> was highly correlated with the incidence of PC.
