Moreover, BECN1 expression was negatively correlated with expression of HIF-1α (P = 0.042) and GLUT-1 (P = 0.046), and positively correlated with E-cadherin expression (P = 0.006) in gastric cancer tissues (Table 1; Figure 8 & Supplementary Figure S5). This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A1 and gastric cancer.
