An ordered list of genes was generated based on the correlation between all genes and MICAL-L2 expression. Enriched pathways were determined using Gene Ontology (GO) [21, 22], KEGG [23–25], and GSEA [26, 27]. In the KEGG analysis, genes were determined to be differentially expressed based on a log2 fold-change of > 1.0 and an adjusted P-value < 0.05 (www.kegg.jp/kegg/kegg1.html), as previously reported [28]. “GSEA is a computational method that determines whether an a priori defined set of genes shows statistically significant, concordant differences between two biological states” [26, 27]. In this study, the predefined gene set was obtained from the MSigDB database (https://www.gsea-msigdb.org/gsea/msigdb/index.jsp). STRING (https://cn.string-db.org/) and Cytoscape were used to predict and display the protein-protein interaction network of MICAL-L2 co-expressed genes.
