AURKB and hepatocellular carcinoma: In support of its putative oncogenic activity, significant upregulation of Aurkb was found in HCC patients from at least three GEO datasets (GSE20140, GSE54236, and GSE64041) (Fig. 4f), and Aurkb induction was confirmed in matching pairs of HCC and normal tissues in GES64041-3 dataset (Supplementary Fig. 4c).
