Comprehensive analysis of the results of functional enrichment revealed that pathways, including the TNF signaling pathway, human immunodeficiency virus 1 infection, human T-cell leukemia virus 1 infection, Epstein-Barr virus infection, cell cycle-related pathways, and apoptosis may participate in the inhibitory effect of NaB on CRC. Here, TNF is linked to Epstein-Barr virus infection.
