Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the US. There has been an incline in the number of young patients with colorectal cancer due to unclear reasons at this point in time. Currently, DEAD-box RNA helicase protein DDX21 is identified as a prognosis marker for early-stage colorectal cancer. However, the mechanism of DDX21 mediated-colorectal cancer is still unknown. Here, our objective is to determine the key molecules and signaling by analyzing the RNA-seq data. The GSE184726 was created by the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (Homo sapiens). The KEGG and GO analyses indicated Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and Ras signaling pathway were the key signaling pathways during the knockdown of DDX21 in colorectal cancer. Moreover, we identified several interactive genes including PTPRC, FN1, ITGAM, RAD51, TRAF6, CCNB1, FOXP3, CCNA2, HIST2H2AC, and HSPA5. Our study may provide new insights into the treatment of colorectal cancer.

"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.
