Bioinformatics analysis showed that eIF6 was upregulated in HCC tissues. a The expression level of eIF6 in HCC tissues (n = 374) was upregulated compared with that of normal tissues (n = 50) in the TCGA database. b–e The expression level of eIF6 in HCC tissues was upregulated compared with that of normal tissues in the GEO database, including GSE64041 (Normal = 65, Tumor = 60), GSE14520 (Normal = 64, Tumor = 69), GSE57957 (Normal = 40, Tumor = 38), and GSE45436 (Normal = 39, Tumor = 95). ***p < 0.001. eIF6, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas; GEO, Gene Expression Omnibus
