A Pathway enrichment analysis by Panther. B Protein–protein interaction network of the DEGs. C Screening of hub genes by Venn analysis. The intersection included three genes, namely, MET, JAK2, and KITLG. D The mRNA expression of MET, JAK2, and KITLG in NPC tissues (Oncomine). E The prognostic value of MET, JAK2, and KITLG in HNC (TCGA). Patients with high KITLG expression might have a shorter overall survival time than those with low KITLG expression (P < 0.05).
