Abstract

Objective: To analyze the differentially expressed genes and identify featured biomarkers from prostatic carcinoma.

Methods: The software “Significance Analysis of Microarray” (SAM) was used to identify the differentially coexpressed genes (DCGs). The DCGs existed in two datasets were analyzed by GO (Gene Ontology) functional annotation.

Results: A total of 389 DCGs were obtained. By GO analysis, we found these DCGs were closely related with the acinus development, TGF-β receptor and signal transduction pathways. Furthermore, five featured biomarkers were discovered by interaction analysis.

Conclusion: These important signal pathways and oncogenes may provide potential therapeutic targets for prostatic carcinoma.
