As the formation of LC3-II depends on ATG3 and ATG7, pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between TOB1 and ATG3 or ATG7 in 408 gastric cancer tissues (dataset source: TCGA) and 211 normal gastric tissues (dataset sources: TCGA, 36; and GTEx, 175) with the web server GEPIA (http://gepia2.cancer-pku.cn/#correlation). Here, ATG7 is linked to gastric cancer.
