ATGL is highly expressed in human HCC tissues and predicts poor prognosis. a Real-time PCR analysis of ATGL expression in 40 pairs of HCC and matched non-tumor tissues. b Western blot analysis of ATGL expression in HCC and matched non-tumor tissues C: cancer tissue; P: para-cancer tissue. c Representative immunohistochemical detection of ATGL in normal liver tissue and HCC tissues. d Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival in 40 patients indicated that high expression of ATGL predicts poor prognosis. The cutoff lines to divide into high and low group was median value. e Real-time PCR analysis of ATGL expression in HCC cell lines. f Western blot analysis of ATGL expression in HCC cell lines. g Relative levels of DAG and FFA in 40 pairs of HCC and matched non-tumorous tissues. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was concluded at *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
