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. The gene discussed is HIF1A; the disease is renal cell carcinoma.
