As indicated in Figure 1, the expression of DEPDC1B was higher in LIHC tissues than in normal tissues, and this is consistent with the results in non-small cell lung cancer, oral cancer, malignant melanoma (Xu et al., 2019), bladder cancer (Lai et al., 2020), glioblastoma, and pancreatic cancer (Liu et al., 2020). Here, DEPDC1B is linked to melanoma.
