Violin plots as well as staining showed uniform expression of HCC-related markers like AFP or Glypican 3, as well as pro-oncogenic CD155 and CD36, which are associated with disease progression and poor prognosis in HCC (57, 58) (Supplementary Figure S3B and Supplementary Figures S4A, B). This evidence concerns the gene GPC3 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
