The results of HCC-IS PPI network analysis showed that HCC may regulate IS-related targets (such as ALB, AKT1, MMP9, IGF1, and CASP3), biological processes (such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation modules, hypoxia modules, regulation of neuronal apoptosis and proliferation, and angiogenesis), and signaling pathways (such as PI3K-Akt, FoxO, TNF, HIF-1, and Rap1 signaling). Here, AKT1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
