Hepatoblastoma: an investigation of diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic gene targets and biomarkers. (PubMed, Pediatr Res)
This study investigates differentially expressed genes and pathways in hepatoblastoma, shedding light on disease mechanisms and identifying potential biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment. The findings highlight therapeutic strategies involving Wnt inhibition, ferroptosis induction, and cell cycle regulation, guiding future research into innovative treatment modalities for hepatoblastoma. Key genes CENPA, HMGA2, WIF1, DKK1, and SLC7A11 warrant further investigation due to their potential implications in hepatoblastoma tumorigenesis and proliferation. This study expands the current understanding of genetic influences of hepatoblastoma and informs future research into drivers of hepatoblastoma pathogenesis by leveraging a novel approach utilizing publicly available data.
