Diapeutics gene markers in colorectal cancer (CRC) can help manage mortality caused by the disease. We applied a game-theoretic link relevance Index (LRI) scoring on the high-throughput whole-genome transcriptome dataset to identify salient genes in CRC and obtained 126 salient genes with LRI score greater than zero. The biomarkers database lacks preliminary information on the salient genes as biomarkers for all the available cancer cell types. The salient genes revealed eleven, one and six overrepresentations for major Biological Processes, Molecular Function, and Cellular components. However, no enrichment with respect to chromosome location was found for the salient genes. Significantly high enrichments were observed for several KEGG, Reactome and PPI terms. The survival analysis of top protein-coding salient genes exhibited superior prognostic characteristics for CRC. MIR143HG, AMOTL1, ACTG2 and other salient genes lack sufficient information regarding their etiological role in CRC. Further investigation in LRI methodology and salient genes to augment the existing knowledge base may create new milestones in CRC diapeutics.
结直肠癌(CRC)的治疗基因标志物有助于控制该疾病导致的死亡率。我们应用博弈论的关联关联度指数(LRI)评分对高通量全基因组转录组数据集进行评分,以鉴定 CRC 中的显著基因,并获得了 126 个 LRI 评分大于零的显著基因。生物标志物数据库缺乏关于所有可用癌症细胞类型的显著基因作为生物标志物的初步信息。显著基因揭示了主要生物过程、分子功能和细胞成分的十一个、一个和六个过表达。然而,在显著基因中没有发现与染色体位置有关的富集。KEGG、Reactome 和 PPI 术语观察到显著的高富集。顶级蛋白编码显著基因的生存分析显示出对 CRC 较好的预后特征。MIR143HG、AMOTL1、ACTG2 和其他显著基因缺乏关于它们在 CRC 中的病因作用的充分信息。进一步研究 LRI 方法和显著基因以增加现有知识库可能在 CRC 治疗学方面创造新的里程碑。
