AKT1 and neoplasm: In order to explore the role of DURP9 in tumor progression, we performed KEGG pathway analysis of these DEGs between two groups, and the results showed that many tumor growth and metastasis-related pathways, such as Erk, JNK, Wnt, Akt/mTOR, and ErbB signaling pathways, were significantly enriched in the DUSP9 knockdown group.
