EIF3B and neoplasm: As shown in Figure 1, levels of nine eIF3 subunits involving eIF3A, eIF3B, eIF3C, eIF3D, eIF3E, eIF3H, eIF3I, eIF3J, and eIF3M were significantly increased in cancer tissues, whereas the eIF3L expression level in tumours was independently decreased than that of normal tissues (p < 0.05).
