On IHC the TMSB10 overexpressing tumor tissues had higher Ki67 proliferation indexes, whereas the TMSB10-silenced tumor tissues had reduced numbers of Ki67-positive cells (Additional file 11: Figure S3c), which is consistent with the results of analysis of clinical correlation between TMSB10 and Ki67 (Additional file 8: Table S3). Here, TMSB10 is linked to neoplasm.
