Additionally, genes encoding several critical cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-32 and IL-6, as well as cytokine response-associated signalling proteins such as interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) 1, IFIT2, IFIT3, and IL-13RA1, were also significantly regulated by anisomycin in HCC cells (Fig. 4b). This evidence concerns the gene IL13RA1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
