A Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed that CCT7 mRNA expression correlated positively with other prognostic biomarkers in HCC patients (Ki67: r = 0.230, P < 0.001; proliferating cell nuclear antigen [PCNA]: r = 0.307, P < 0.001; Figure 7G and 7H). This evidence concerns the gene PCNA and hepatocellular carcinoma.
