The results showed that the common SDE genes regulated by shikonin were significantly involved in MAPK signaling pathway, P53 signaling pathway, antigen processing and presentation, spliceosome, bladder cancer, endocytosis, HIF1 signaling pathway, cell cycle, pathways in cancer and the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway (Table 3). The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is urinary bladder carcinoma.
