LGALS3 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Figure 10A showed that the RNA expression levels of PDLIM3, PAM, PDLIM7, FSCN1, and LGALS3 in tumor samples were significantly upregulated. Moreover, in the samples we obtained from HCC patients, the RNA expression levels of these 5 genes (Figures 10B–F) were also significantly higher in tumor tissues than in adjacent normal tissues, perhaps suggesting that these genes play a role in the progression of HCC.
