OCA2 and colorectal carcinoma: We found that the protein levels of Cdk2 and p-62 c-Myc were significantly elevated in CRC tissues compared to those in NCTs and predicted poor prognosis (Fig. 7a–d), and Correlation analyses indicated that the expression of SLCO4A1-AS1, Cdk2, and p-62 c-Myc was significantly correlated with each other (Fig. 7e–g).
