ASRGL1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: To verify the results in the database, we further explored the expression of ASRGL1 in liver cancer and HCC cell lines; we found that the expression of ASRGL1 in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (Figure 1C) and that the expression of ASRGL1 in liver cancer cells was higher than that in LO2 liver cells (Figure 1D).
