With the aid of mirPath v.3 (http://snf-515788.vm.okeanos.grnet.gr/) software, KEGG pathways enriched by miR-873-5p-, miR-1207-5p- and miR-584-targeted genes were figure out, and the top 5 pathways were revealed as viral carcinogenesis (Ngene = 24), proteoglycans in cancer (Ngene = 18), HIF-1 signaling pathway (Ngene = 18), adherens junction (Ngene = 16) and prostate cancer (Ngene = 15) (Additional file 5: Table S4). This evidence concerns the gene HIF1A and Familial prostate cancer.
