Here, we examined the therapeutic efficacy of CCL2-CCR2 axis inhibitors against hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma in the miR-122 knockout (a.k.a.KO) mouse model.
CCR2-64I gene polymorphism is an important factor for the susceptibility of HCC but it might not influence the clinical pathological progression of HCC, and the contribution of CCR2-64I gene polymorphism on the susceptibility of HCC could be not through the affection of liver injury-related clinical pathological characteristics.
The present study suggests the lack of association of SDF-1 3'A, MCP-1(-2518), CCR5-Delta32 and CCR2-64I polymorphisms with death and hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence in cirrhotic alcoholic patients.
