摘 要:BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)has a high mortality rate *** significant progress in GC diagnosis and treatment,the prognosis for affected patients still remains *** To identify important candidate genes related to the development of GC and iden-tify potential pathogenic mechanisms through comprehensive bioinformatics *** The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to obtain the GSE183136 dataset,which includes a total of 135 GC *** limma package in R software was employed to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Thereafter,enrichment analyses of Gene Ontology(GO)terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways were performed for the gene modules using the clusterProfile package in R *** protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks of target genes were constructed using STRING and visualized by Cytoscape *** common hub genes that emerged in the cohort of DEGs that was retrieved from the GEPIA database were then screened using a Venn *** expression levels of these overlapping genes in stomach adenocarcinoma samples and non-tumor samples and their association with prognosis in GC patients were also obtained from the GEPIA database and Kaplan-Meier ***,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and western blotting were performed to determine the mRNA and protein levels of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT)in GC and normal immortalized cell *** addition,cell viability,cell cycle distribution,migration and invasion were evaluated by cell counting kit-8,flow cytometry and transwell ***,we also conducted a retrospective analysis on 70 GC patients diagnosed and surgically treated in Wenzhou Central Hospital,Dingli Clinical College of Wenzhou Medical University,The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai University between January 2017 to December *** tumor and adjacent normal samples were collected from the patients to determine the
