After functional enrichment analysis was conducted, these overlapping genes were found to be clustered in GO BP pathways including RNA metabolism, mRNA metabolism, cell protein metabolism, mitosis, mitotic cell cycle, viral reproduction, nuclear mRNA splicing via spliceosome, RNA splicing, and DNA repair (Figure 2E), indicating KIAA1429 could bind to numerous RNAs with essential functions in HCC HCCLM3 cells. Here, VIRMA is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
