Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide with very high mortality. In this study, the microarray data was used to construct a regulation network to identify potential genes related with CRC. The results showed SP1, RELA, STAT1, PPARA and TP53 arise as hub nodes in transcriptome network in accordance with previous studies, and new transcription factors and target genes related with CRC were also identified, such as HIF1A and NFIC both regulated the PFKFB3 in response to CRC. In general, it is demonstrated that transcriptome network analysis is useful in identification of CRC related genes.   Key words: Colorectal carcinoma, network, ontology.
