3.4. In-silico functional analysis of differentially expressed genes
Enrichment analysis was done with 80 genes commonly upregulated
and 73 genes commonly downregulated in between siRNA and shRNA
mediated knockdown of hTERT with MetaCore software. From the gene
expression data, pathway maps were constructed and genes were found
to have role in different pathways (Supplementary Table S1). The pathways
are related to development, angiotensin, HGF signaling, cell adhesion,
plasminogen signaling and AP1 transcription in metabolic pathway
signaling.
