Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of difference-related genes affected by SNDPC in HCC. (A) Heatmaps, (B) volcano plot, (C,D) GO, (E,F) pathway, and (G,H) Venn were used to analyze the difference-related genes in HCC. (I) Western blotting was used to determine the expression of PHLDA2 and SPINK1. The results are presented as the mean ± SD. ***, P<0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: SNDPC regulated the expression of ANXA2 via PHLDA2. The (A) MEM database, (B) HCCDB, (C) LinkedOmics database, and (D) GEPIA database were used to determine the correlation between PHLDA2 and ANXA2. (E) ANXA2 protein level after treatment with 10–40 mg/mL if SNDPC. (F) A co-IP assay was used to confirm the combination of PHLDA2 and ANXA2. (G) The protein concentration of PHLDA2 after PHLDA2 overexpression was detected using Western blotting. (H) The protein concentration of PHLDA2 in HCCLM3 cells with PHLDA2 overexpression and SNDPC. The results are presented as the mean ± SD. ***, P<0.001; ### , P<0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: PHLDA2 deficiency suppressed HCCLM3 cell proliferation ability, reduced glycolysis, and facilitated cell apoptosis. (A) The mRNA expression and (B) protein level of PHLDA2 in HCCLM3 cells were determined using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. (C) CCK-8 assay was used to determine cell proliferation. (D,E) The level of cell apoptosis was determined using TUNEL assay. (F) Western blotting was used to estimate apoptosis-related protein levels. (G) Glucose uptake, (H) lactate concentration, and (I) ECAR were detected after PHLDA2 silencing. (J) The protein levels of LDHA, HK2, and PKM2 in HCCLM3 cells were determined using Western blotting.
