        """Get relevant statements from Pathway Commons.

        Performs a "paths between" query for the genes in :py:attr:`gene_list`
        and uses the results to build statements. This function caches two
        files: the list of statements built from the query, which is cached in
        `<basename>_biopax_stmts.pkl`, and the OWL file returned by the Pathway
        Commons Web API, which is cached in `<basename>_pc_pathsbetween.owl`.
        If these cached files are found, then the results are returned based
        on the cached file and Pathway Commons is not queried again.

        Parameters
        ----------
        filter : Optional[bool]
            If True, includes only those statements that exclusively mention
            genes in :py:attr:`gene_list`. Default is False.
        query : Optional[str]
            Defined what type of query is executed. The two options are
            'pathsbetween' which finds paths between the given list of genes
            and only works if more than 1 gene is given, and 'neighborhood'
            which searches the immediate neighborhood of each given gene.
            Note that for pathsbetween queries with more thatn 60 genes, the
            query will be executed in multiple blocks for scalability.
        database_filter: Optional[list[str]]
            A list of PathwayCommons databases to include in the query.

        Returns
        -------
        list of :py:class:`indra.statements.Statement`
            List of INDRA statements extracted from Pathway Commons.
