Fig. 1: USP22 is positively correlated with VEGFA in HCC.
From: USP22 upregulates ZEB1-mediated VEGFA transcription in hepatocellular carcinoma
A, B The mRNA or protein expression of USP22 is positively correlated with that of VEGFA. The data was downloaded from GEPIA (A) or CPTAC (B). C Evaluation of the indicated proteins in 35 clinical HCC samples (T) and the matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues (N) by western blotting. D, E The protein expression of USP22 or VEGFA in HCC samples is higher than that in the matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Data from (C) were quantified by densitometry, with GAPDH as the reference. F The protein expression of USP22 is positively correlated with VEGFA in 35 pairs of HCC samples and the matched adjacent noncancerous tissues. Pearson r indicates the degree of correlation. P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
