Abstract
In the present study, genes of Ulcerative Colitis and Colon Adenocarcinoma (COAC) were extracted by string App in Cytoscape software version 3.5.1. Then protein- protein interaction (PPI) networks analyzed. One of the most common chronic digestive problems is ulcerative colitis (UC) especially in developing countries. Prevalence of the disease is reported about 7.6 to 245 cases per 100,000 per year. UC can lead to colon cancer that is the third malignancy related death in the world. So awareness of the future of the patient with UC and the possibility of colon cancer is a very helpful approach. The analysis was based on centralities values. The goal is determining common gene pathways and differential gene pathways of the two diseases. Results showed there are 11 and 29 central genes related to COAC and UC respectively. At least five common key genes between the two diseases were introduced. The number of 26 terms related to the common key genes were determined and clustered in seven clusters. ALB, AKT1, TP53, SRC and MYC are the common genes that play crucial roles in the related biological processes of UC and COAC. Besides introducing the common genes the differentiate genes related to the two diseases were proposed.
