GO enrichment analysis indicated associations with steroid and small molecule metabolism (Fig. 6B), while KEGG pathway analysis identified multiple enriched pathways, including Th17 cell differentiation, PPAR signaling pathway, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, cancer-related pathways, mTOR signaling pathway, metabolic pathways, MAPK signaling pathway, HIPPO signaling pathway, HCC, focal adhesion, and apoptosis signaling pathway (Fig. 6C). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and hepatocellular carcinoma.
