The authors identified 11 transcriptionally distinct neutrophil clusters in HCC which they termed: Neu_01_MMP8, Neu_02_S100A12, Neu_03_ISG15, Neu_04_TXNIP, Neu_05_ELL2, Neu_06_PTGS2, Neu_07_APOA2, Neu_08_CD74, Neu_09_IFIT1, Neu_10_SPP1 and Neu_11_CCL4. This evidence concerns the gene MMP8 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
