Anti-apoptosis-related proteins are highly expressed, while pro-apoptosis-related protein is lowly expressed in HCC tissues. (A,B) Expressions of Bcl−2 and Bcl−XL were increased in clinical HCC tissues. (C) Bax expression was decreased in clinical HCC tissues. The red and blue spots represented the expression of different proteins in the T and N groups, respectively. ** p < 0.01. (D) IHC staining images of Bcl−2 and Bax in HCC (T) and normal liver tissues (N) acquired from Proteinatlas database. The expression of proteins were determined by the brown area. Scale bars = 200 μm.
