Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell malignancy, is related to critical morbidity due to end-organ destruction. A number of factors affect the MM cell proliferation and functions. Though MM is not curable, novel targets and inhibitors have shown great effects on MM patients. Here, we aim to identify significant genes and signaling pathways of MM with SI2 treatment using a bioinformatics method. The GSE156871 dataset was originally produced by using the high-throughput BGISEQ-500. The KEGG and GO results suggested that biological pathways such as "the complement and coagulation cascades" and "the transcription activator activity" are mostly affected in the SI2 treatment of MM cells. Moreover, we identified several genes including SRC, KNG1, and PI3KCG were involved in the treatment of MM cells. Therefore, our study provides further insights into the treatment of MM.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
