Distribution of human decorin in hepatocellular carcinoma. DCN/SMA content separates normal and cancerous samples. Decorin expression is extremely low in tumor samples compared to normal and NAT sections (A,B). DCN expression seems to follow the classification of BCLC staging (D) and aggressiveness of HCC (C) [(nnormal = 36, nHCC = 112)]. DCN, decorin; NAT, non-tumorous adjacent tissue; SMA, smooth muscle actin. All data are presented as mean of normalized ± SD. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05.
