CDC25B Is a Prognostic Biomarker Associated With Immune Infiltration and Drug Sensitivity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Zixiang Huang, Liangzhi Xu, Zhengqiang Wu, Xiaofeng Xiong, Linfei Luo, Zhili Wen

“…CDC25B expression was verified in clinical HCC tissue samples using fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) and protein immunoblotting (Western blot). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to identify signaling pathways enriched in CDC25B expression, and differential genes (DEGs) were used to screen out coexpressed hub genes and construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EDU) staining was used to compare the proliferation and differentiation ability of the HCC cell line (HCC-LM3) after knockdown of CDC25B. …”
