Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) remains an important public health problem, with classic risk factors being smoking and excessive alcohol consumption and usually has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is important to explore the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis and screen the genes and pathways identified from such studies and their role in pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify genes or signal pathways associated with the development of HNSC. Methods: In this study, we downloaded gene expression profiles of GSE53819 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 18 HNSC tissues and 18 normal tissues. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray Data R package. Adjusted P values <0.01 and |log2 fold change (FC)| ≥2 was regarded as the filter condition. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of these DEGs were performed on the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) online website. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was built to visualize the interactions between these DEGs using the STRING online website. Finally, hub genes were identified by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Results: A total of 604 DEGs consisting of 159 upregulated genes and 445 downregulated genes were selected. From these DEGs, prognostic related genes could serve as potential biomarkers for the molecular diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of HNSC were identified. Including the known genes, GPR18, CNR2, RSPH4A, ULBP2, TEX101, and STC2. And the novel genes, CCR8, CCDC39, CNTN5, MSLN, and CHGB were strongly implicated in HNSC. Conclusions: In summary, we indicated genes associated with prognostic in patients, which improve our understanding of HNSC and could be used as new therapeutic targets for HNSC.

We downloaded the to archive and store a public database (6). By querying limma package from the Bioconductor and imported it into microarray data, gene expression profiles of HNSC patients Rstudio. We used the Benjamini and Hochberg methods, were compared with normal healthy controls to determine genes with |log2-fold change (FC)| ≥2 and adjusted P values the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene ontology <0.01 were used in the next analysis stage (11). (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis was then performed on the online website DAVID 6.8 (https://david.ncifcrf. gov/). We then constructed a protein-protein interaction GO and pathway enrichment analysis (PPI) network for DEGs and conducted a module analysis DAVID now provides a comprehensive set of functional of this network (7). Finally, we analyzed the survival of the annotation tools for investigators to understand the hub genes. Novel genes related to patient prognosis were biological meaning behind large list of genes. We used screened from hub genes, which had not been previously the DAVID online website to perform GO and Kyoto reported. For example: CCR8, CCDC39, CNTN5, MSLN, Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis and CHGB. Our study provides new information on the of DEGs.

Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy of the urinary system. The pathogenesis and effective diagnosis of ccRCC have become popular topics for research in the previous decade. In the current study, an integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify core genes associated in ccRCC. An expression dataset (GSE105261) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and included 26 ccRCC and 9 normal kideny samples. Assessment of the microarray dataset led to the recognition of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which was subsequently used for pathway and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis.

They are known as water channels, but they also facilitate the transport of small solutes, gasses, and monovalent cations. To date, 13 different AQPs, encoded by the genes AQP0–AQP12, have been identified in mammals, which regulate various important biological functions in kidney, brain, lung, digestive system, eye, and skin. Consequently, dysfunction of AQPs is involved in a wide variety of disorders. AQPs are also present in the heart, even with a specific distribution pattern in cardiomyocytes, but whether their presence is essential for proper (electro)physiological cardiac function has not intensively been studied. This review summarizes recent findings and highlights the involvement of AQPs in normal and pathological cardiac function. We conclude that AQPs are at least implicated in proper cardiac water homeostasis and energy balance as well as heart failure and arsenic cardiotoxicity. However, this review also demonstrates that many effects of cardiac AQPs, especially on excitation-contraction coupling processes, are virtually unexplored.

Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between

Here we measured the evolutionary pressures acting on all human protein- coding genes (N=17,808) based on their divergence from early hominins such as Neanderthal, and non-human primates. We confirm that genes encoding brain-related proteins are among the most conserved of the human proteome. Conversely, several of the most divergent proteins in humans compared to other primates are associated with brain-associated diseases such as micro/macrocephaly, dyslexia, and autism. We identified specific eXpression profiles of a set of divergent genes in ciliated cells of the cerebellum, that might have contributed to the emergence of fine motor skills and social cognition in humans.

To address this concern, we analyzed gene expression in a set of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients, using both spotted oligonucleotide microarrays made from a large collection of 70-mer probes and commercial arrays produced by in situ synthesis of sets of multiple 25-mer oligonucleotides per gene.

However, its Jinwen Ge mechanism for treating cerebral ischemia is still not fully explained. [email protected] †These authors share first authorship Methods: The traditional Chinese medicine related database were utilized to obtain the components of HCC. The Pharmmapper were used to predict HCC’s potential targets. Specialty section: The CIR genes were obtained from Genecards and OMIM and the protein-protein This article was submitted to interaction (PPI) data of HCC’s targets and IS genes were obtained from String Ethnopharmacology, a section of the journal database.
