B3GNT8 and hepatocellular carcinoma: As shown in Figure 5A, ectopic expression of β3GnT8 markedly elevated the levels of HG-CD147 in HCC cells in comparison with the controls, but appeared to have no effects on the levels of LG-CD147, although HG-CD147 had a much stronger expression than LG-CD147 in a basal state.
