ERBB3 and cervical cancer: In the present study, a bioinformatics method (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, differentially expressed genes, Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, protein-protein interactions and survival analysis) was used to explore the mRNA and protein level discrepancy gene signature of ERBB3 via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway from the speculation in immuno-oncology and experimental verification of different cervical cancer cell lines.
