CD274 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Methods: Gene expression data among HCC patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors were obtained from the HCC single-cell sequencing database; immunohistochemistry was performed to detect G0S2 expression in liver cancer tissues and adjacent non-tumorous tissues of HCC patients; flow cytometry was utilized to analyze the expression of G0S2, PD-L1, CD206, and CD14 in PBMCs from HCC patients; and CD8+T cell proliferation and IFN-γ secretion were used to evaluate the impact of G0S2 knockdown.
