Brief Summary

The investigators study the VEGF signaling in HCC cell lines and its mechanism in HCC growth, proliferation and apoptosis.

Detailed Description

Several studies have documented the elevated expression of VEGF, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in HCC cell lines and tumor tissues. Another study observed a sequential elevation of VEGF in low-grade dysplasia, hi...
