“…The top differentially expressed genes based enrichment were similar to the GOs at the genomic level, mainly including ECM and its related GO terms, response to inflammatory and various bindings. These results represent further confirmation of the importance of collagen ( 61 , 67 , 75 , 78 , 84 , 87 , 88 , 113 , 117 , 125 , 163 – 165 ), ECM ( 76 , 90 , 97 , 158 ), cell adhesion ( 72 , 97 ), and inflammatory ( 49 , 101 , 124 , 128 , 139 , 204 ) in the pathogenicity of KC. In addition, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and response to drug have not been reported before, which may be involved in the process of KC, and should be investigated further.…”
