Figure 5.
Venn diagram representation for mRNAs (a), lncRNAs (b), and competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) (c) included in stage-specific significant ceRNA associations. Blue, Red, green, and yellow-coloured sets represent stage I, stage II, stage III, and stage IV, respectively. Most of the mRNAs and lncRNAs have been shared among four stages. Five genes, KDR, SGCB, PRTG, KLF5, and PCNX1 and one lncRNA, TRAF3IP2-AS1, were observed only in stage IV, metastatic stage.
