Reciprocal expression of solute carrier (SLC)-related gene in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with high-and low-glycolysis. (A) Heat-map of SLC-related genes of frozen tissues from patients with HCC with high ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) (n = 8) or low ¹⁸F-FDG (n = 8). (B–D) The expression of SLC13A5 with low and high SLC2A1 (B), HIF1α (C), and SLC16A1 (D) expression groups (70-30 percentile) in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset of HCC patients. (E–G) The median OS based on the TCGA dataset of HCC patients in low and high expression groups (70-30 percentile) in indicated genes. Data were represented as mean ± SEM and were compared using unpaired two-tailed t-tests and log-rank tests. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, **** p < 0.0001.
