Fourteen genes (DVL1, PRKACB, ARRB1, APC, MAPK9, CAMK2A, PRKCB, CACNA1A, ERBB4, RASGRF1, NF1, RPS6KA2, MAPK8IP2, and PPM1A) derived from the PPI network of 135 genes were upregulated and involved in the regulation of cancer stem cell (CSC) development and relevant signaling pathways (Notch, Hedgehog, Wnt, and MAPK). The gene discussed is MAPK9; the disease is cancer.
