CLIC4 and cancer: DUSP12 expression was higher in liver-cancer tissues than that in normal liver tissues at the protein level, and this observation was validated by results from the HPA database (Antibody: HPA008840; cancer-patient ID: 2399; normal-patient ID: 3222) (Figs. 3A, 3B) and HUH1 had the highest transcriptional expression of DUSP12 in liver-cancer cell lines (Fig. 3C).
