Here, we aimed to identify significant genes associated with poor outcome. Materials and methods. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CC tissues and normal cervical tissues were picked out by GEO2R tool and Venn diagram software. Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) was performed to analyze gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathway. The protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of these DEGs were visualized by Cytoscape with Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING). Afterwards, Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to analyze the overall survival among these genes. The Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) was applied for further validation of the expression level of these genes.\nRESULTS: The mRNA expression profile datasets of GSE63514, GSE27678, and GSE6791 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO). In total, 76 CC tissues and 35 normal tissues were collected in the three profile datasets. There were totally 73 consistently expressed genes in the three datasets, including 65 up-regulated genes and 8 down-regulated genes. Of PPI network analyzed by Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) plug-in, all 65 up-regulated genes and 4 down-regulated genes were selected. The results of the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that 3 of the 65 up-regulated genes had a significantly worse prognosis, while 3 of the 4 down-regulated genes had a significantly better outcome. For validation in GEPIA, 4 of 6 genes (PLOD2, ANLN, AURKA, and AR) were confirmed to be significantly deregulated in CC tissues compared to normal tissues.\nCONCLUSION: We have identified three up-regulated (PLOD2, ANLN, and AURKA) and a down-regulated DEGs (AR) with poor prognosis in CC on the basis of integrated bioinformatical methods, which could be regarded as potential therapeutic targets for CC patients.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "DEGs between CC tissues and normal cervical tissues were identified by the use of GEO2R online tools with ∣logFC∣ > 1.5 and adjust P value < 0.05.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:32258155", "locator": "sections[4] \"2.2.
