Effect and mechanism of sodium butyrate on the activation of Epstein-Barr virus in Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric cancer cells by TIAN Zhaoxin, CHEN Yuying, LIU Wen

“…Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between groups A, B, and C, and the top 5 upregula-ted DEGs and the top 5 downregulated DEGs with smaller P values were considered significant DEGs, while RT-qPCR was used to measure the relative expression levels of significant DEGs. The GO functional enrichment analysis and the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed for all DEGs identified, and the proteins enriched in significant pathways (the pathways with P&lt;0.05 in the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis) were considered key pathway proteins, while Western blotting was used to mea-sure the relative expression levels of key pathway proteins in groups A, B, and C. …”
