ULK1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: The low p-ULK1(Ser757)/ULK1 expression observed in M was statistically significant compared to both virus and no virus-related PHCC and HCC [Virus PHCC (0.54±0.1), q = 0.02; Virus-PHCC (0.93±0.03), q = 0.003; Virus HCC (0.58±0.1); q = 0.01); Virus- HCC (0.81±0.2), q = 0.02; respectively] (Fig 4F).
