Pathway analysis revealed the activation of several pathways in the chemotherapy-resistant tumors, including those of drug metabolism, MAPK, ErbB, calcium, cGMP-PKG, sphingolipid, and PI3K-Akt, as well as those activated by Cushing’s syndrome, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and proteoglycans in cancers, and subpathway analysis identified the activation of several more, including fluid shear stress, Wnt, FoxO, ECM-receptor interaction, RAS signaling, Rap1, mTOR focal adhesion, and cellular senescence (FDR < 0.20). Here, EGFR is linked to Cushing syndrome.
