Signature genes and signaling pathways responsible for the high cancer stemness of ESCC. (A) Venny analysis of upregulated genes in the cancer stemness of ESC02 and ESC03. A total of 338 upregulated genes were identified. Among these, a total of 35 significantly upregulated genes were listed (P<0.01). Previously reported stemness-associated genes were marked in red; the references were given in Table SII. (B) Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery-Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of upregulated genes in ESCC. The signaling pathways of DNA replication, Fanconi anemia pathway, RNA transport and nucleotide excision repair were significantly enriched in the cancer stemness of ESCC (P<0.05).
