In accordance with our results, caspase 3 was recently shown to be weakly expressed in intact hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells [67], supporting earlier findings documenting the lower expression of caspase 1 and caspase 3 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue compared to nontumor cells [68,69]. The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
