However, a reliable prognostic signature has not yet been confirmed. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to develop a biomarker with high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with HCC. The mRNA expression profiles of HCC were obtained from the GSE19665, GSE41804, and TCGA databases. Subsequently, 193 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the intersection of the data from the three datasets. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the identified DEGs are related to the cell cycle, oocyte meiosis, and p53 signaling pathway, among other factors, in cancers. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) and a functional analysis were performed to investigate the biological function of the DEGs and obtain the candidate genes using the MCODE of Cytoscape. The candidate genes were introduced into the TCGA database for survival analysis, and the four candidate genes that were hub genes and meaningful for survival were retained for further verification. We validated the gene and protein expression and determined the prognosis of our patient cohort. In addition, we evaluated the biological functions regulating tumor cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro. According to the ROC curve analysis of gene expression in clinical samples, it was found that the four genes can be used to predict the diagnosis. A survival analysis based on data from the TCGA database and clinical samples showed that the four genes may be used as biomarkers for providing prognoses for patients. The cell functional experiments revealed that these four genes were related to tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion. In conclusion, the genes identified in the present study could be used as markers to diagnose and predict the prognosis of patients with HCC and guide targeted therapy.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "The aforementioned hub genes in the TCGA cohort were incorporated into a multivariate Cox regression model using the online Kaplan–Meier plotter [17] to obtain the survival analysis and verification of the biomarkers.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:34950206", "locator": "sections[8] \"2.6.
