To further explore the mechanism of action of Tg737 in hypoxia-induced adhesion, migration, and invasion in HCC cells, we examined the effects of Tg737 on the expression/secretion of polycystin-1 and the secretion of IL-8 and TGF-β1, critical regulators of cell invasion and migration. The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
