Identification of ubiquitin markers for survival and prognosis of ovarian cancer

Abstract: , were identified in the survival risk model after univariate survival, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression, and multivariate survival analyses. The reliability and robustness of both the training and validation data were confirmed by comparing the significant survival difference between high- and low-risk patients. We further explored the association between our risk model and clinical outcomes as well as predicted potentially interacting drugs. The co-expression network showed clear interactions among the four marker genes and two model genes and between high- and low-risk differentially expressed genes. Significantly enriched genes were found in pathways associated with ion channels, channel activity, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions. Therefore, suggesting the involvement of ubiquitin genes in the survival and development of OC through neurohumoral regulation. Our results will provide valuable reference or supplementary information for studies investigating OC diagnosis and therapies.
