Regarding the expression of autophagy-related markers, 91.6% of the HCC tissues and 59.8% of the ANT tissues were high for LC3; 86.7% of the HCC tissues and 34.8% of the ANT tissues were high for Beclin-1; and 81.1% of the HCC tissues and 8.4% of the ANT tissues were high for p62. This evidence concerns the gene MAP1LC3A and hepatocellular carcinoma.
