VDAC3 and neoplasm: We also examined VDAC3 expression in tissues from liver cancer patients and nude mice by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and found that VDAC3 expression was lower in liver cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (Fig. 3e, left panel) and lower in miR-3928v-overexpressing tumor tissues than in control tissues (Fig. 3e, right panel).
