It is the third leading cause of cancer mortality in China. The early symptoms are not obvious. When it is discovered, it has developed to the advanced stage, and the prognosis is poor. In order to screen for potential genes for GC development, this study obtained GSE118916 and GSE109476 from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database for bioinformatics analysis.\nMETHODS: First, GEO2R was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEG) and the functional annotation of DEGs was performed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. The Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) tool was used to construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and the most important modules and hub genes were mined. Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was performed to verify the expression level of hub genes.\nRESULTS: A total of 139 DEGs were identified. The functional changes of DEGs are mainly concentrated in the cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix and collagen synthesis. Eleven genes were identified as core genes. Bioinformatics analysis shows that the core genes are mainly enriched in many processes related to cell adhesion and collagen.\nCONCLUSION: In summary, the DEGs and hub genes found in this study may be potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Student’s t test was used to determine the statistical significance when comparing the 2 groups.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36254003", "locator": "sections[9] \"2.7.
