Our previous study assessed the c-MYC expression in a collection of human hepatoma cell lines, and found that Hep40, SNU475, and SK-Hep1 cells display the highest levels of c-MYC, whereas PLC, Hep3B, and Huh7 cells exhibited the lowest c-MYC expression [31]. Here, HSPG2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
