DPYSL3 and hepatocellular carcinoma: The protein expression score of DPYSL3 in cancerous tissue was irreversibly correlated with PM of DPYSL3 (p < 0.01) (Fig. 2c), and it reduced in patients with NBNC-HCC showing hepatic vein invasion (Vv+) compared with that in patients showing non-venous invasion (Vv−) (p < 0.01) (Fig. 2d).
