FGF7 and hepatocellular adenoma: Certainly, we have also observed that the qRT-PCR results corresponding to the HCA time were inconsistent with the HCA, particularly manifested conspicuously in genes such as FGF7, ANGPT- 1, CXCL12, and IL- 17 A. Apart from the potential molecular mechanisms we previously mentioned, the inhibitory feedback of autocrine signaling could also be one of the causes for this (Nguyen et al. 2017).
