Identifying Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in SkinCutaneous Melanoma in White RacePatients from UCSCXena Dataset
Skin Cutaneous Melanoma (SKCM) is one of the combative cancers due to the higher
estimation in diagnosis case and melanoma deaths between 2020 and 2040. The lack of early
management has become the major factor hence the past few years' scientists have been studying
the skin cutaneous melanoma using bioinformatics analysis to examine DEGs,generate the risk
prediction model and proposing the protein interaction to target the protein. However, the diverse
bioinformatics analysis approach and package seems to result in different output. Therefore, this
study objective is to identify the aberrant gene in melanoma skin cancer between the primary tumor
and metastatic using three packages in R (DESeq2, edgeR and limma) as well as predicting the
prognosis model in white patients from gene and miRNA UCSCXena dataset. The method begins by
examining DEGsfrom genes and miRNAs, where the genes result in a total of 620, 674 and 38 DEGs
gene and for miRNA35,94 and 22 DEGswere screened using DESeq2,edgeRand limma respectively.
The results will be validated AUC > 0.8. The hsa-mir-203a, hsa-mir-205, hss-mir-203a(down
regulated), KRT75and SlOOA7Awere gene and miRNAthat satisfied the AUCscore and continue to
be calculated for its correlation usingspearman and miRTarBase.Finally, the RMSTKaplan-Meir curve
was used to predict the SKCMpatient model. There is no miRNA and gene pair from this study that
satisfied the correlation analysis. USingthe same five candidates of gene and miRNAthe enrichment
analysis was executed and resulted in KRT75being involved in IL-17 signaling pathway. To conclude,
the gene SlOOA7Amight be a potential tool in diagnostic and prognostic of metastatic SKCM.The hsa
mir-205 and has-mir-203a result in distinguishing the primary and metastatic tumor.
