Abstract

LSP1 is expressed in normal hepatocytes and liver after PHx after termination of proliferation. In rat hepatoma cell lines and mouse liver in vivo, LSP1 functions as a negative regulator of proliferation and migration. Given the high frequency of LSP1 CNV in human HCC, LSP1 may be a novel target for diagnosis and treatment of HCC.
