ANXA7 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Therefore, to gain more insight into the potential mechanisms and associated genes that are involved in HCC lymph node metastasis, we proposed the current study by using two mouse hepatocarcinoma ascites syngeneic cell lines, Hca-F (lymph node metastasis rate >70%) and Hca-P (lymph node metastasis rate <30%) [7-9] to assess the effects of Annexin A7 on the regulation of HCC cell metastasis in an inbred Chinese 615 mouse model of metastasis.
