Hepatitis B Virus Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression Synergistically With Hepatic Stellate Cells via Facilitating the Expression and Secretion of ENPP2

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor causing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. It has been reported that virus infection induces ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase-phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP2) expression, the...
