Integrated bioinformatics analysis reveals dynamic candidate genes and signaling pathways involved in the progression and prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy with varied outcomes. However, the fundamental mechanisms remain to be fully defined. Aim We aimed to identify core differentially co-expressed hub genes and perturbed pathways relevant to the pathogenesis and prog...

Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy with varied outcomes. However, the fundamental mechanisms remain to be fully defined. Aim We aimed to identify core differentially co-expressed hub genes and perturbed pathways relevant to the pathogenesis and prognosis of DLBCL. Methods We retrieved the raw gene expression profile and clinical information of GSE12453 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. We used integrated bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially co-expressed genes. The CIBERSORT analysis was also applied to predict tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) in the GSE12453 dataset. We performed survival and ssGSEA (single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) (for TIICs) analyses and validated the hub genes using GEPIA2 and an independent GSE31312 dataset.
