| Research Abstract |
Expression of angiogenesis molecules in hepatocellular carcinoma
As compare with nontumorous tissue, enhanced FGF-・ or IL-8 expression was detected in hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, FGF-・ or IL-8 was also increased in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.
Expression of cytokine molecules in hepatocellular carcinoma
Many cytokines enhanced in hepatocellular carcinoma is up-regulated, such as, activin, CD40, FGF, Glut, IL17 and FGF-・.
Profiling of micro-RNA in hepatocellular carcinoma
MicroRNA -527 was down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma.
In addition, the target gene of microRNA-527 was glypican-3.
