Furthermore, in the network analysis (Figure 5a and Figure 5b), we showed that DGCR9 (ENSG00000273032) might act as a ceRNA to intervene in HCC pathogenesis by competitively associated to miR-122 and miR-885, which have been found to be involved in liver diseases or liver cancer 45-47. Here, DGCR5 is linked to liver disorder.
