Seven Hub Genes Predict the Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and the Corresponding Competitive Endogenous RNA Network

Figure 2

Enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). (a) DEGs of GSE62232, GSE6764, GSE76427, and TCGA datasets between HCC and controls. Red denotes upmodulated DEGs, whereas blue denotes downmodulated DEGs. (b) DEGs in the same direction across all four datasets are shown by a Venn diagram. (c) Intersected DEGs of four datasets were involved in pathways by enrichment analysis. (d) Intersected DEGs of four datasets were involved in biological process, molecular function, and cellular component. (e, f) Gene set enrichment analysis illustrated the head and tail of five pathways enriched in HCC patients. KEGG, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; CC, cellular component; MF, molecular function; BP, biological process.
