Furthermore, we conducted functional enrichment analyses, using DAVID [ 22 ], on the genes that showed the most significant negative correlations with miRNAs in liver (p < 10 -10 ) and found a highly significant excess (p = 0.02, Benjamini-Hochberg [ 23 ]) for genes ( N = 25) involved in cell adhesion , characterized as the attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules [ 24 ].
