Based on RNA-Seq data upon ILK targeting in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells and survival analysis of differentially expressed genes, ACTL6B, ANKRD22, ARHGAP23, BSN, CAMKV, CHGA, COL13A1, ILK, LTF, MAPK8IP2, MARVELD3, NKAIN1, NMNAT2, PAX5, SAG, SEMA3G, SLC4A8, SLC5A1, and VGF were selected for further validation by SYBR Green-based qRT-PCR analysis. The gene discussed is ARHGAP23; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
