Exploring the Molecular Mechanism and Biomakers of Liver Cancer Based on Gene Expression Microarray.

ABSTRACT: Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide with high morbidity and mortality. Its molecular mechanism hasn't been fully understood though many studies have been conducted and thus further researches are still needed to improve the prognosis of liver cancer. Firstly, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between six Mdr2-knockout (Mdr2-KO) mutant mice samples (3-month-old and 12-month-old) and six control mice samples were identified. Then, the enriched GO terms and KEGG pathways of those DEGs were obtained using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID, http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/). Finally, protein-protein interactions (PPI) network of those DEGs were constructed using STRING database ( http://www.string-db.org/) and visualized by Cytosca
