FBXO45 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Consistent with this finding, high expression of FBXO45, IGF2BP1, and PLK1 was positively associated with tumor size, TNM stage, and tumor poor differentiation (Figure 7—figure supplement 1B-D), indicating that FBXO45-IGF2BP1-PLK1 axis positively correlated with HCC disease progression.
