ALDH1A1 and liver cancer: More so, because of the documented implication of ALDH1 in IR-resistance [18], we probed the GDC TCGA liver cancer (LIHC, n = 469) for probable relationship between PDK1 and ALDH, and showed a positive correlation between ALDH1A1 and PDK1 (R = 0.27, p = 1.6 × 10−8; Figure 3D).
