However, under high expression of JUN/IL10/PTGS2/PTPRC/SELE/APOB, higher macrophage levels intended to show a worse outcome in HCC (HR = 1.72, P = 0.0129 for JUN; HR = 1.87, P = 0.0229 for IL10; HR = 1.68, P = 0.0456 for PTGS2; HR = 1.98, P = 0.0118 for PTPRC; HR = 2.07, P = 0.00218 for SELE; HR = 2.61, P = 0.000133 for APOB). Here, SELE is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
