MYC and neoplasm: As shown in Figure 3, elevated BAMBI expression in HCC positively correlated with tumor proliferation, EMT markers, MYC targets, cellular response to hypoxia, PI3K-AKT-mTOR, p53 pathway, TGF-β pathway and ECM-related genes (Figure 3A–D,G–I,O) and negatively correlated with glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and fatty acid biosynthesis and degradation pathways (Figure 3E,F,P).
