The results showed that high expressions of cell mechanics-related genes (ROCK1, ROCK2, MLCK, and mDia1) and APC were associated with favorable patient survival (Fig. 6L to P), while the expressions of β-catenin and Oct4 were negatively correlated with the survival of HCC patients (Fig. 6Q and R). Here, ROCK2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
