Abstract
PURPOSE
The study objects were to explore the correlation between the biological role of clock genes and clinical indicators in patients with osteosarcoma (OS).
METHODS
We acquired the clinical information and RNA sequencing data of OS samples from the TARGET database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and expression correlation analysis of clock genes were performed. Then, the functional enrichment analysis of clock genes was analyzed. The survival analysis of clock genes in patients of OS was carried out by univariate cox regression, Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve and multivariate cox regression methods. Moreover, the spearmen correlation analysis was performed to explore the correlation between clock genes and DNA repair genes in patients with OS.
RESULTS
The PPI network and expression correlation analysis of clock genes indicated that the clock genes were highly correlated with each other. The survival analysis of clock genes found that clock gene ARNTL is a protective factor for the prognosis of patients with OS. We found that ARNTL was positively related to DNA repair genes and was involved in the biological process of DNA damage repair in patients with OS.
CONCLUSIONS
ARNTL may affect the prognosis and chemotherapy response of patients with OS by regulating DNA repair pathways.
