Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the effects of high-fat diet on the biological network regulation of gene expression microarray data and key proteins in mouse prostate tissue, and provide some new theoretical evidence for the mechanism of obesity inducing PCa.
METHODS
From the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), we obtained RNAs in the prostate tissue from two groups of C57BL / 6J mice, the normal diet group (n = 5) and high-fat diet group (n = 4). Using the Gene Cloud, Gene-Cloud of Biotechnology Informs (GCBI), GenClip2.0, and Sytoscape 3.5.1, we screened differentially expressed genes, investigated protein interaction networks and biological pathways of differential genes and, from the perspective of transcriptome, explored the effects of high-fat diet on the changes of the molecular network of prostate tissue genes and the molecular biological functions possibly involved.
RESULTS
A total of 134 differentially expressed genes were identified, 130 up-regulated and 4 down-regulated, mainly involved in biological functions such as chromosome organization, cell-cell signaling, small molecule biosynthesis and leukocyte activation. The Lck, Prkcb and Cd28 genes in the gene network were of high value, indicating an important relationship with protein synthesis and biological functions, the core node of the protein-protein network, and a high predictive ability of Lck and Cd28.
CONCLUSIONS
The high-fat diet can induce changes in prostate tissue genes, leading to tumorigenesis.
