LIMK1 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: By analyzing an ESCC tissue microarray (TMA) consisting of 208 tumor tissues and 152 matched adjacent normal tissues, high expression of LIMK1 (52.40%, 109/208) was observed in human ESCC tissues compared with paired normal tissues (21.71%, 33/152) (P < 0.001, Figure 6D).
