Furthermore, KEGG assays illuminated that the 50 ferroptosis-related DEGs were mainly concentrated in Fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, Lipid and atherosclerosis, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, Kaposi sarcoma−associated herpesvirus infection, HIF-1 signaling pathway, Human T-cell leukemia virus 1 infection and Human cytomegalovirus infection, suggesting these ferroptosis-related DEGs play a central part in the development of tumors. This evidence concerns the gene RENBP and cytomegalovirus infection.
