TMUB1 is negatively correlated with HCC pathological malignancy and positively correlated with patient prognosis. (A) The immunohistochemistry was used for detecting TMUB1 expression of tissue microarrays. TMUB1 expression was scored as described in the Methods. (B) The comparison of tumor size between the 2 groups. (C) The comparison of the proportion of multiple tumors between the 2 groups. (D) The comparison of TNM stage between the 2 groups. (E) The comparison of the mean postoperative survival time between the 2 groups. TMUB1 – transmembrane and ubiquitin-like domain-containing protein 1; HCC – hepatocellular carcinoma; TMUB1-OE – TMUB1 over-expression; TMUB1-UE – TMUB1 under-expression.
