EIF4G2 is overexpressed in HCC and high EIF4G2 expression indicates poor prognosis of HCC patients. a OS analysis in HCC patients with high- or low-expression of EIF4G2 from the Human Protein Atlas database. b Representative images of EIF4G2 expression in 30 paired HCC tissues(T) and adjacent para-carcinoma tissues(N). c Representative images of EIF4G2 IHC staining with different staining scores. Images were presented at 2x magnification (up panel) and 20x magnification (lower panel). d Representative images and analysis of EIF4G2 IHC staining in HCC tissues and adjacent para-carcinoma tissues, images were presented at 2x magnification. e Kaplan–Meier curves analysis of OS in HCC-TMA patients with high- or low-expression of EIF4G2. f Kaplan–Meier curves demonstrating DFS in HCC-TMA patients with high- or low-expression of EIF4G2. g Spearman’s correlation analysis of EIF4G2 expression and PDL1 expression. *p < 0.05
