PHF8 and hepatocellular carcinoma: 1a). However, the expression of PHF8 was significantly increased in HCC tissues at mRNA and protein levels (p < .05) (Figure. 1b,c). Moreover, the expression levels of miR‐383 were significantly decreased in HepG2, SK‐Hep‐1, MHCC‐LM3, and Huh7 compared with that in human normal liver cell LO2 (p < .05; Figure. 1d).
