Screening and identification of hub genes in bladder cancer by bioinformatics analysis and KIF11 is a potential prognostic biomarker.


ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer (BC) is the ninth most common lethal malignancy worldwide. Great efforts have been devoted to clarify the pathogenesis of BC, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. To screen for the genes associated with the progression and carcinogenesis of BC, three datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus. A total of 37 tumor and 16 non-cancerous samples were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Subsequently, 141 genes were identified, including 55 upregulated and 86 downregulated genes. The protein-protein interaction network was established using the Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes database. Hub gene identification and module analysis were performed using Cytoscape software. Hierarchical clustering of hub genes was conducted using the University of California, Santa Cruz Cancer Genomics Browser. Among the hub genes, kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) was identified as one of the most significant prognostic biomarkers among all the candidates. The Kaplan Meier Plotter database was used for survival analysis of KIF11. The expression profile of KIF11 was analyzed using the ONCOMINE database. The expression levels of KIF11 in BC samples and bladder cells were measured using reverse transcription-quantitative pCR, immunohistochemistry and western blotting. In summary, KIF11 was significantly upregulated in BC and might act as a potential prognostic biomarker. The present identification of DEGs and hub genes in BC may provide novel insight for investigating the molecular mechanisms of BC.
