KEGG enrichment analysis further suggested that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was implicated in the anti-cancer and anti-metastasis mechanisms of CP during progression of HBV-associated HCC (Miyazawa et al., 2004; Shackel, 2007; Zeng et al., 2007; Perugorria et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene CP and cancer.
