Multi-omic analysis identifies the molecular mechanism of hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis promotes the advancement of malignancy and the development of fibrosis in normal liver tissues. Understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying the development of HCC with cirrhosis is important for developing effective therapeutic strategies. Herein, the RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data and corresponding clinical features of patients with HCC were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database using the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Xena platform. The enrichment degree of hallmarkers for each TCGA-LIHC cohort was quantified by ssGSEA algorithm. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed two gene module eigengenes (MEs) associated with cirrhosis, namely, MEbrown and MEgreen. Analysis of these modules using AU
