With 128 genes upregulated and 143 genes downregulated in both OA males and females, 9 KEGG pathways have been enriched based on the current knowledge, including ‘renal cell carcinoma,’ ‘ECM-receptor interaction,’ ‘HIF-1 signaling pathway,’ ‘MicroRNAs in cancer,’ ‘focal adhesion,’ ‘Relaxin signaling pathway,’ ‘breast cancer,’ ‘PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,’ and ‘human papillomavirus infection.’ Here, we explore the potential impacts of these clusters in OA. This evidence concerns the gene HIF1A and hereditary clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
