To investigate the potential existence of DEGs involved in a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network mediated by differentially expressed lncRNA and miRNA, we conducted miRanda (http://www.microrna.org/), miRWalk (http://129.206.7.150/), and Targetscan (http://www.targetscan.org/) analyses to predict miRNA-mRNA interactions, while StarBase (https://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/) was used to predict lncRNA-miRNA interactions. The resulting interactions were then visualized using Cytoscape software (version 3.9.1).
