Among the eight mRNAs in the model, the up-expressions of TKTL1, KDELR3, PFKP, SLC2A1, and PGF in hepatocellular carcinoma were confirmed in previous experimental studies, while the over-expression of SAP30 in HCC was reported in an earlier computational study. This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
