Potential biomarkers of HCC based on gene expression and DNA methylation profiles.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to identify potential biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Three gene expression profiles of GSE95698, GSE49515 and GSE76427 and a DNA methylation profile of GSE73003 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, each comprising data regarding HCC and control tissue samples. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the HCC group and the control group were identified using the limma software package. The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) was used to perform Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the overlapping DEGs. The PPI network of the overlapping DEGs was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacti
