چکیده

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy with a five-year mortality of 97-98% due to widespread metastatic disease. A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of pancreatic cancer is beneficial for the development of novel approaches for early detection and monitoring of pancreatic cancer. We aim to comprehensively identify the gene expression profile in pancreatic cancer and explore the molecular pathway of pancreatic cancer disorder. Using GSE15471 datasets downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus data, we first screened the differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer using packages in R language. The key pathways of differentially expressed genes were investigated with the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and synergetic network construction based on weighted Jaccard index. A total of 13,211 differentially expressed genes were identified, and they were enriched in several pathways, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling pathway, Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway, as well as cell cycle, focal adhesion, complement and coagulation cascades, and leukocyte transendothelial migration. Synergetic pathway network analysis revealed that cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway, calcium signaling pathway, and focal adhesion pathway were three important pathways in the development of pancreatic cancer. The method introduced here is helpful to screen the key pathways for controlling pancreatic cancer progression and provide potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Bioinformatics identification of miRNA-mRNA regulatory network contributing to lung cancer invasion

Background: Over the past 15 years, significant insights have been gained into the roles of miRNAs in cancer. In various cancers, miRNAs can act as oncogenes, tumor suppressors, or control the metastasis process by modulating the expression of numerous target genes. This study is aimed at determining molecular network of miRNA-mRNA regulating lung cancer invasion, by bioinformatics approaches. ...

Association between alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer: a systematic review of cohort studies

Background: Among all types of cancers, pancreatic cancer has poor prognosis with 5-year survival below 10%. In theory, alcohol intake may be a modifiable risk factor for pancreatic cancer due to its role in multiple carcinogenic and metabolic signaling pathways. In addition, alcohol consumption may lead to chronic pancreatitis which is underlying cause of pancreatic cancer. However, little is ...

Evaluation of the effectiveness of a chemoprevention model of pancreatic adenocarcinoma using protein chip technology.

A serum-specific protein 'fingerprint' model was established which is capable of evaluating the effect of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We used SELDI-TOF-MS coupled with CM10 chips and bioinformatics tools to analyze a total of 45 mouse serum samples from three groups: the healthy control group, the pancreatic cancer model group (orthotopic transplantation model of hu...
