Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is the fifth common cancer worldwide, and it requires effective diagnosis and treatment to prevent aggressive metastasis. The purpose of this study was to construct a machine learning-based diagnostic model for the diagnosis of liver cancer. Using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), univariate analysis, and Lasso-Cox regression analysis, protein-protein interactions network analysis is used to construct gene networks from transcriptome data of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and find hub genes for machine learning. The five models, including gradient boosting, random forest, support vector machine, logistic regression, and integrated learning, were to identify a multigene prediction model of patients. Immunological assessment, TP53 gene mutation and promoter methylation level analysis, and KEGG pathway analysis were performed on these groups. Potential drug molecular targets for the corresponding hepatocellular carcinomas were obtained by molecular docking for analysis, resulting in the screening of 2 modules that may be relevant to the survival of hepatocellular carcinoma patients, and the construction of 5 diagnostic models and multiple interaction networks. The modes of action of drug-molecule interactions that may be effective against hepatocellular carcinoma core genes CCNA2, CCNB1, and CDK1 were investigated. This study is expected to provide research ideas for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.Keywords
