Figure 1. Collection, intersection, and validation of HCC-related genes in EHCO2.
(A) Gene sets in EHCO2 and their intersecting genes. The gray box indicates the number of genes reported in each set, while the intersection cell indicates the numbers of common genes. Each pair of datasets shares a small number of common genes, suggesting the heterogeneous nature of HCC. The bottom-left insert shows the frequency of genes reported. Most genes are reported only once. (B) Validation of up-regulated genes via Q-RT-PCR. RHAMM, INTS8, CDCA8, DEPDC1B, and KIAA0195 are over-expressed in 21 paired HCC patient samples.
