Abstract

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most fatal gynecological malignancies in the world and confers a poor 5-year survival rate. The present study was designed to discover novel prognostic markers for patients with OC in order to estimate disease metastasis or recurrence. Based on the large cohorts of transcriptome data from multicenter sources, a comprehensive analysis was performed to explore potential prognostic markers. A total of 269 differentially expressed genes were identified, of which 32 were upregulated and 237 downregulated in OC tissues compared with the corresponding expression in normal tissues. Kaplan‑Meier analysis, log‑rank test and nomogram analysis were employed to demonstrate that low expression levels of claudin 10 (CLDN10) were associated with a less favorable disease prognosis. The most promising prognostic marker for OC was subsequently selected. Additionally, the prognostic nomogram was constructed in order to assess the 5‑year survival rate using CLDN10 expression as a prognostic marker for OC. Furthermore, gene set enrichment analysis and analysis of the tumor‑associated competing endogenous RNA network were performed to elucidate the potential biological processes associated with CLDN10 expression. The current results indicated that CLDN10 may influence OC progression via transforming growth factor‑β (TGF‑β)‑ or WNT/β‑catenin‑induced epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). The associations among CLDN10, microRNA‑486‑5p, TGF‑β, WNT/β‑catenin and EMT should be further investigated in future studies.
