LATS1 and gastric cancer: To evaluate whether the expression levels of LATS1 and miR-424 were associated with clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis of GC patients, as shown in Fig. 2a, based on the cutoff values of LATS1 and miR-424, which were obtained according to their expression levels, OS time and OS status in GAC tissues, the 315 GAC patients were divided into two groups: LATS1 high expression and LATS1 low expression or miR-424 high expression and miR-424 low expression.
