The mRNA level circMYLK in HCC cell lines and tissues. a, b Measurement of the circMYLK and MYLK mRNA expressions in adjacent normal tissues (n = 62) and HCC tissues (n = 62). c, d Measurement of circMYLK and MYLK mRNA expressions in LO2 cells and HCC cell lines. e Kaplan–Meier plots of patients with high circMYLK expression (n = 31) and low circMYLK expression (n = 31). Using median circMYLK values as cutoff. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01
