A Possible Role for TNF- α in Coordinating Inflammation and Angiogenesis in Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: VEGF signaling could be one of the molecular signaling pathways involved in TNF-α induced angiogenesis which might pose an important link between inflammation and fibrosis in CHC and HCC development and progression. Moreover, serum inflammatory biomarkers can be used to monitor the disease progression. PMID: 24147158 [PubMed]
