Core Tip |
GSE14323, GSE36411, and GSE89377 are available from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Forty-five differentially expressed genes and 10 hub genes were identified between cirrhotic and healthy livers. quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry analyses showed that decorin (DCN), dermatopontin (DPT), and SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) were highly expressed in the CCl4-induced cirrhotic mouse model. The expression levels of DCN and SOX9 were also significantly increased in HCC patients and were associated with the fibrosis stage. However, overexpression of DPT was only observed in patients with hepatic fibrosis. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that HCC patients with higher SOX9 expression had significantly lower 5-year survival rates, while patients with over-expression of DCN and DPT had higher 5-year survival rates. |
