KLF8 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Although cytoplasm and nuclear β-catenin accumulation did not show significant correlations with progressed HCC (50% (4/8) of Stage I HCC samples, 61.9% (13/21) of Stage II HCC samples, 80.77% (21/26) Stage III HCC samples, and 80% (8/10) Stage IV HCC samples), expression of KLF8 plus cytoplasm and nuclear β-catenin accumulation showed positive correlations with progressed HCC (12.5% (1/8) of Stage I HCC samples, 52.38% (11/21) of Stage II HCC samples, 73.08% (19/26) Stage III HCC samples, and 80% (8/10) Stage IV HCC samples, Fig. 1E ).
