Sumario:Tumor recurrence and metastasis often occur in HCC patients after surgery, and the prognosis is not optimistic. Hence, searching effective biomarkers for prognosis of is of great importance. Firstly, HCC-related data was acquired from the TCGA and GEO databases. Based on GEO data, 256 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained firstly. Subsequently, to clarify function of DEGs, clusterProfiler package was used to conduct functional enrichment analyses on DEGs. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis screened 20 key genes. The key genes were filtered via GEPIA database, by which 11 hub genes (F9, CYP3A4, ASPM, AURKA, CDC20, CDCA5, NCAP, PRC1, PTTG1, TOP2A, and KIFC1) were screened out. Then, univariate Cox analysis was applied to construct a prognostic model, followed by a prediction performance validation. With the risk score calculated by the model and common clinical features, univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to assess whether the prognostic model could be used independently for prognostic prediction. In conclusion, the current study screened HCC prognostic gene signature based on public databases.
