Abstract: To identify novel genes in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), we downloaded three microarray datasets containing CRPC and primary prostate cancer in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). R packages affy and limma were performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between primary prostate cancer and CRPC. After that, we performed functional enrichment analysis including gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway. In addition, protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis was used to search for hub genes. Finally, to validate the significance of these genes, we performed survival analysis. As a result, we identified 53 upregulated genes and 58 downregulated genes that changed in at least two datasets. functional enrichment analysis showed significant changes in the positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation pathway and aldosterone-regulated sodium reabsorption pathway. PPI network identified hub genes like cortactin-binding protein 2 (CTTNBP2), Rho family guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) 3 (RND3), protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor-type R (PTPRR), jagged1 (JAG1), and lumican (LUM). Based on PPI network analysis and functional enrichment analysis, we identified two genes (PTPRR and JAG1) as key genes. Further survival analysis indicated a relationship between high expression of the two genes and poor prognosis of prostate cancer. In conclusion, PTPRR and JAG1 are key genes in the CRPC, which may serve as promising biomarkers of diagnosis and prognosis of CRPC.
