In addition, immunoblotting showed augmented protein expression of the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) family member eIF4A2 (* p = 0.0249; Wilcoxon test) and the translation initiator and rocaglate target DEAD-box protein 3 DDX3 [46] (** p = 0.0088; Wilcoxon test) in HCC lesions (Figure 2A,B; Supplementary Figure S1). This evidence concerns the gene EIF4A2 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
