Interestingly, while no co-localization was detected between phospho-CAV1 and phospho-Met (Fig. 9b) in cirrhotic liver tissues (Fig. 9c), a significant co-localization between phospho-CAV1 (Fig. 9d) and phospho-Met (Fig. 9e) was detected in HCC (Fig. 9f). Here, CAV1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
