In addition, DEmRNAs were highly enriched in “intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway” terms, which to some extent explains the effects of Hint1 on apoptosis of HCC cells reported by Hsieh et al. [35], namely, that Hint1 may partly regulate the apoptosis of HCC cells by regulating the ceRNA network. The gene discussed is HINT1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
