High Sorcin expression is a potential prognosticator for HCC clinical outcome after liver resection. (A) A paired representative images for immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of Sorcin protein in Ts and ANLTs from training and validation cohort. (B) Box-plot analyzed the immunohistochemical scores of Ts and ANLTs from training and validation cohort showed that Ts exhibited higher Sorcin protein expression than corresponding ANLTs. (C) According to IHC immunostaining score, HCC patients dichotomized into high Sorcin expression group (>3) and low Sorcin expression group (≤3). χ2 analysis was used to analyze the difference between Ts and ANLTs from training (C1) and validation cohort (C2). (D) Kaplan-Meier analysis of the correlation between Sorcin expression and the disease-free survival (DFS; D1), overall survival (OS; D2), early recurrence (ER; D3) of HCC patients in training cohort. (E) Kaplan-Meier analysis of the correlation between Sorcin expression and the disease-free survival (DFS; E1), overall survival (OS; E2), early recurrence (ER; E3) of HCC patients in validation cohort.
