Since previous studies have reported that low ratios of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) to either CD3+ or CD8+ T cells were correlated with better prognosis for patients with HCC [35,36,37,38], the levels of each cell types was assessed in ROCK1wt and ROCK1nc HCC tumours. The gene discussed is FOXP3; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
