Although 14C-acetate uptake was positively associated with FASN expression in HepG2 and SkHep1 cells (Figures 1, 2), Hep3B cells exhibited a discrepancy between 14C-acetate uptake (low) and FASN expression (high), consistent with a previous study on HCC (22). This evidence concerns the gene FASN and hepatocellular carcinoma.
