Figure 5 Transcription factor 3 expression levels are positively correlated with matrix metalloproteinase-11 Levels in hepatocellular carcinoma.
A: Heatmap of transcription factor 3 (TCF3) and matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP11) mRNA expression in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas; B: Correlation between the expression of TCF3 and MMP11 at mRNA levels extracted from cbioportal database; C: Demonstrative immunohistochemical staining images for TCF3 and MMP11 in human HCC tissues. Scale bars: 50 μm (high magnification) and 200 μm (low magnification). HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; MMP11: Matrix metalloproteinase-11; TCF3: Transcription factor 3.
