In the present study, we clarified that YFJP attenuated HCC cell migration and invasion, and induced HCC cell apoptosis through modulating an array of HCC-related genes (including TP53, EGFR, EGF, CCND1, JUN, AKT1, IL6, MAPK1, VEGFA, ESR1, CASP3, and PTGS2), thereby attenuating the aggressiveness of HCC. Here, IL6 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
