Maximal clique centrality and bottleneck genes as novel biomarkers in ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is second most common form of gynaecological cancer world wide . In this study, we collected and analyzed three ovarian cancer microarray raw datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus, NCBI, and identified a total of 1806 significant DEGs (Differentially expressed genes). The functional analysis of the DEGs showed that the 885 upregulated DEGs were mostly enriched in protein-binding activity, while the downregulated 796 genes were mostly enriched in retinal dehydrogenase activity and GABA receptor binding.

CDK1 and HSP90AA1 Appear as the Novel Regulatory Genes in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Bioinformatics Approach.

Lung cancer is one of the most invasive cancers affecting over a million of the population. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes up to 85% of all lung cancer cases, and therefore, it is essential to identify predictive biomarkers of NSCLC for therapeutic purposes. Here we use a network theoretical approach to investigate the complex behavior of the NSCLC gene-regulatory interactions.

Regulatory role of long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in neurological disorders: From novel biomarkers to promising therapeutic strategies.

Long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein or low-protein coding transcripts that contain more than 200 nucleotides. They representing a large share of the cell's transcriptional output, demonstrate functional attributes tissue-specific expression, determination of cell fate, controlled expression, RNA processing and editing, dosage compensation, genomic imprinting, conserved evolutionary traits etc. These long non coding variants are well associated with pathogenicity of various diseases including the neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease etc.

Harnessing the Potential of Long Non-coding RNAs to Manage Metabolic Diseases.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are functionally versatile molecules that regulate gene expression at all levels of biological organization. RNA modulation, at the moment, has emerged as a powerful therapeutic technique to treat human diseases. Lately, lncRNAs have been acknowledged as key players in human metabolism and, indeed, implicated in the etiology of many common diseases other than cancers, where they can perhaps serve as reliable markers to determine disease status or assess outcomes of an intervention.
