To elucidate the correlation between RPS7 and LOXL2 expression in human HCC, we furtherly analyzed the mRNA level of LOXL2 in our 60 HCC samples and uncovered that mRNA levels of LOXL2 in HCC tissues were remarkably higher than those in normal liver tissues (Fig. 8A). The gene discussed is RPS7; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
