ULK1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: In addition, our analysis of the differential expressionof the classic autophagy markers ULK-1, Beclin-1, and LC3B in the high- andlow-risk groups showed that the expression of ULK-1 was significantlydown-regulated in the high-risk group (Table2), further confirming that autophagy is suppressed in HCC patientswith poor prognosis.
