biostudies-literatureUnknown2(1)Yu LXHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become a leading cause of cancer-related death, making the elucidation of its underlying mechanisms an urgent priority. Inflammation is an adaptive response to infection and tissue injury under strict regulations. When the host regulatory machine runs out of control, nonresolving inflammation occurs. Nonresolving inflammation is a recognized hallmark of cancer that substantially contributes to the development and progression of HCC. The HCC-associated inflammation can be initiated and propagated by extrinsic pathways through activation of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) by pathogen-associated molecule patterns (PAMPs) derived from gut microflora or damage-associated molecule patterns (DAMPs) released from dying liver cells. The inflammation can also NPJ precision oncology6https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5871907biostudies-literatureRole of nonresolving inflammation in hepatocellular carcinoma development and progression.PMC5871907Ling YYu LXWang HYfalseRole of nonresolving inflammation in hepatocellular carcinoma development and progression.Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become a leading cause of cancer-related death, making the elucidation of its underlying mechanisms an urgent priority.
