Besides, DIRAS3 level in gastric cancer was significantly positively associated with LC3B-II level, and further correlation analysis showed a weak correlation between level of DIRAS3 and LC3B-II (r = 0.21, Table 1), but no correlation was found between the level of DIRAS3 and p62 or LC3B-II and p62 protein level (Table 1). Here, DIRAS3 is linked to gastric cancer.
