There is an urgent need to identify potential novel oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and biomarkers for STAD. 6652 differentially expressed genes were identified between STAD and normal samples based on the transcriptome data analysis of the TCGA and GEO databases. 13 key modules were identified in STAD by WGCNA analysis. 293 potential STAD associated genes were identified from intersection by Venn Diagram. The 293 intersected genes were enriched in cell cortex and infection by GO and KEGG analysis. 10 hub genes were identified from PPI and Cytoscape analyses of the intersected genes. KLF4/CGN low and SHH/LIF high expression were associated with short overall survival of Asian STAD patients. Bioinformatics analysis revealed potential novel tumor suppressors (KLF4/CGN), oncogenes (SHH/LIF) and biomarkers for diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of STAD, specifically for Asian patients.展开更多

Currently there is no effective clinical strategy for the prevention and treatment of the disease relapse. HSV LAT gene is expressed in large quantities and lytic genes are turned off leading to HSV latency. Disruption of the gene expression is thought to cause HSV reactivation and disease relapse. To reveal the essence of HSV latency and reactivation, we summarized and innovatively classified the role, mechanism and transcriptional regulation of LAT in HSV latency and reactivation. This review may have important implications for future studies on HSV latency and reactivation, HSV disease prevention and treatment, and safer and more effective oncolytic HSVs (oHSVs).展开更多
