SOAT1 and lung cancer: This identified the “role of activation of WNT signaling in progression of lung cancer” as the pathway with the greatest number of DEG whose expression was higher (36/77) in PVEC, and “immune response IFNα/β signaling via JAK/STAT” as the pathway with the greatest number of DEG whose expression was lower (25/64) in PVEC (Fig. 2d).
