Myofibroblasts bind to LBP-lipopolysaccharide complexes to induce expression of HCC tumor expressed MCP1 (log2 fold change = −7.42) and VCAM1 (log2 fold change = −2.46; Figure 4B), which displayed increased expression in the HCC tumors in this study. This evidence concerns the gene LBP and hepatocellular carcinoma.
