The findings of the intersection of DEGs from scRNS-seq and bulk RNA-seq revealed that seven genes were differently expressed between HCC and neighboring normal tissues, including ADAMTS13, BIRC5, IGFBP3, MARCO, MT2A, NNMT, and PGLYRP2 (Figure 9A). This evidence concerns the gene IGFBP3 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
