Abstract

Background and ObjectiveThough there were many researches about the effects of cancer cells on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) currently, it has been rarely reported completed oncogene and its mechanism in tumors by far. Here, we used biological methods with known oncogene of NSCLC to find new oncogene and explore its functionary mechanism in NSCLC.MethodsThe study firstly built NSCLC genetic interaction network based on bioinformatics methods and then combined shortest path algorithm with significance test to confirmed core genes that were closely involved with given genes; real-time qPCR was conducted to detect expression levels between patients with NSCLC and normal people; additionally, detection of PARP1's role in migration and invasion was performed by trans-well assays and wound-healing.ResultsThrough gene interaction network, it was found that, core genes like PARP1, EGFR and ALK had a direct interaction. TCGA database showed that PARP1 presented strong expression in NSCLC and the expression level of metastatic NSCLC was significantly higher than that of non-metastatic NSCLC. Cell migration of NSCLC in accordance to the scratch test was suppressed by PARP1 silence but stimulated noticeably by PARP1 overexpression. According to Kaplan-meier survival curve, the higher PARP1 expression, the poorer patient survival rate and prognosis. Thus, PARP1 expression had a negative correction with patient survival rate and prognosis.ConclusionNew oncogene PARP1 was found from known NSCLC oncogene in terms of gene interaction network, demonstrating PARP1's impact on NSCLC cell migration.

Highlights

  • Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a leading neoplastic disease [1] with the highest incidence rate and cancer-related mortality worldwide, has a 5-year survival rate under 10% due to high metastasis rate and poor prognosis

  • TCGA database showed that poly polymerase 1 (PARP1) presented strong expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the expression level of metastatic NSCLC was significantly higher than that of non-metastatic NSCLC

  • Cell migration of NSCLC in accordance to the scratch test was suppressed by PARP1 silence but stimulated noticeably by PARP1 overexpression

Summary

Introduction

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a leading neoplastic disease [1] with the highest incidence rate and cancer-related mortality worldwide, has a 5-year survival rate under 10% due to high metastasis rate and poor prognosis. PPI search tool of network construction and interaction gene STRING database provided mutual information for experiment and prediction. To get gene-related information, studying topological features of disease gene product in PPI network has become a new way of gene predicting. Though there were many researches about the effects of cancer cells on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) currently, it has been rarely reported completed oncogene and its mechanism in tumors by far.
