ANO1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Deng et al33 reported that ANO1 was more highly expressed in HCC cells than in paraneoplastic tissues, and flow cytometry revealed that the proportion of SMMC‐7721 cells in the G0/G1 phase was increased, the proportion of SMMC‐7721 cells in the S phase was significantly reduced, and the cell cycle was significantly inhibited, suppressing cell proliferation but not apoptosis, suggesting that ANO1 can promote the growth of HCC cells.
