Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignant lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible mechanisms and biomarkers of BE. To identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (DEmiRNAs) and genes (DEGs) in BE, the miRNA expression profile GSE20099 and the gene expression profiles GSE26886, GSE13083 and GSE34619 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. DEGs and DEmiRNAs were screened for using the GEO2R tool. Using DAVID, functional and pathway enrichment analysis was performed to explore the biological function of identified DEGs. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was detected using STRING and constructed by Cytoscape software. Furthermore, targets of identified DEmiRNAs were predicted by the miRecords database, then integrated with the identified DEGs to obtain key genes involved in BE. In total, 311 DEGs were identified. These genes were significantly enriched in the pancreatic secretion, metabolic pathways and cytochrome P450 drug metabolism pathways. In the PPI network, 16 hub genes, including keratin 16, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, involucrin, protein kinase C and cadherin 17 were identified. Following integration of the predicted target genes of DEmiRNAs with DEGs, three key BE genes were identified: PRKCA, CDH17 and epiregulin. In conclusion, a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of identified DEGs and DEmiRNAs was performed to elucidate potential pathways and biomarkers involved in the development of BE.
