“…On the other hand, we reviewed 52 published articles associated with CC infections that provided transcriptome-guided hub proteins (genomic biomarkers) for cross-validation of the proposed key genes and the candidate drug agents. There were 255 hub genes reported in those 52 articles, with 7 hub proteins (AURKA, PCNA, CCNB1, CDC45, MCM2, TOP2A, CDK1) appearing in at least 5 articles ( Table S2 ) [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]. Five (AURKA, CCNB1, MCM2, TOP2A, and CDK1) of the seven reported hub proteins were found to be similar to our suggested seven KGs.…”
