Abstract

Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and is one of the primary contributors to cancer-related death worldwide. The present work proposed a computational framework to discover functional gene communities in LIHC by integrating RNASeq gene expression profiles with protein-protein interaction data to elucidate the inherent complexities of biomolecular mechanisms in LIHC. Here, we have proposed an offsetNMF-based module integration technique that incorporates characteristics of both gene co-expression modules discovered through a refined WGCNA-based algorithm and protein complexes predicted through a parameter-free greedy approximation algorithm PC2P. Biological significance analysis of the integrated gene communities discovers several highly LIHC-associated pathways.
