To validate this hypothesis, we randomly selected 20 HCC tissues (10 from Linc-GALH High group and 10 from Linc-GALH Low group) and conducted immunochemical staining for Gankyrin, E-cadherin (an epithelial marker) and N-cadherin (a mesenchymal marker). This evidence concerns the gene CDH1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
