Gastric cancer is the common type of malignancy positioned at second in mortality rate causing burden worldwide with increasing treatment options. More accurate and reliable diagnostic methods/biomarkers are urgently needed. The application of transcriptomics technologies possesses the high efficiency of identifying key metabolic pathways and functional genes in cancer research. In this study, we performed a transcriptome analysis on Prunetin treated AGS cells. A total of 1,118 differentially expressed (DE) genes on Prunetin treated AGS cancer cells, among which 463 were up-regulated and 655 were down-regulated. Notably, around 40 genes were found to be related with necroptosis, among which 16 genes were found to be in close association with Receptor Interacting Protein Kinase (RIPK) family. Validation of the RIPK genes through GEPIA identified 8 genes (NRP1, MNX1, SSRP1, PRDX2, PLRG1, LGALS4, SNX5 and FXYD3) which are highly expressed in stomach cancer were significantly down-regulated in PRU treated samples. In conclusion, the sequencing data explores the expression of RIPK mediated genes through necroptosis signaling network in treating gastric cancer. The futuristic validations on the 8 genes as candidate biomarkers will offer a treatment approach against gastric cancer using PRU.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
