| Popis: | Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and discovering the biomarkers of this disease became so vital nowadays and Cell in Cell structure could be one of them, and it may be used as an available proxy for tumor malignancy. (CICs) are unusual in that keep morphologically healthy cells within another cell. They are found in various human cancers and result from active cell-cell interaction, and it has different kinds. In this study, we analyzed the microarray data from GEO (GSE103865) to genetically evaluate CICs' incidence in samples obtained from breast cancer patients to understand the relationship between the rate of CIC and the prognosis of breast cancer. The preprocessing was performed using R software. The DAVID website was used to analyze gene ontology (GO) and Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathways. The protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of the obtained DEGs were assessed using the STRING website, and hub modules in Cytoscape and cytoHubba were screened. According to the results from analyzing the 20 hub genes, we understood that overexpression of our Top genes is effective in focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, platelet activation and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which shows that changes in these pathways could be the reason the overexpression of CICs in breast cancer. These data and research by many others have uncovered various genes involved in CIC formation and have started to give us an idea of why they are formed and how they could contribute to breast cancer Comment: Presented as a poster in 4th International biotechnology congress of Islamic Republic of Iran (2021) |
