title: Systematic analysis of gene expression and molecular interactions in cardiac and non-cardiac gastric carcinomas.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  : This study aims to comparing the gene expression profiles and molecular interactions among gastric cardiac adenocarcinomas (GCA), gastric noncardiac adenocarcinomas (GNCA) and their adjacent normal tissues.
  
  
  METHODS
  Gene expression profile of GSE29272 was downloaded from Gene expression omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at the cut-off of p-value ≤ 0.01. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was further performed for the DEGs, and then the binding sites of the transcriptional factors and the specific protein-protein interactions were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Total 1024 DEGs were screened, including 741 up-regulated genes and 283 down-regulated genes. VSNL1 (visinin-like protein-1) is expressed relatively higher in the GNCA and could be its molecular biomarker, as KRT14 (cytokeratin 14) in the GCA. GO analysis showed that the analogous cancer-relevant factors network appears in these two cancer subgroups. The DEGs in the GCA tend to be bound by SPIB and ZNF354C. FN1 lies in the center of the protein-protein interaction networks of the two cancer subgroups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We found out the RNA expression level of the two gastric cancers varied greatly from the normal tissues while gene expression profile of them were very similar, however, the different biomarker and transcriptional factors indicate the differences of two mechanisms.
