Evaluation of the Selenotranscriptome Expression in Two Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Lines by Stefano Guariniello, Giovanni Di Bernardo, Giovanni Colonna, Marcella Cammarota, Giuseppe Castello, Susan Costantini

“…Our data showed that in both cells there are three downregulated (DIO1, DIO2, and SELO) and ten upregulated (GPX4, GPX7, SELK, SELM, SELN, SELT, SELV, SEP15, SEPW1, and TrxR1) genes. Additionally, interactomic studies were carried out to evaluate the ability of these down- and upregulated genes to interact between them as well as to identify putative HUB nodes representing the centers of correlation able to exercise a direct control over the coordinated genes.…”
