Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most commonly diagnosed liver cancer, accounting for ~90% of all primary malignancy of the liver. Although various medical treatments have been used as systemic therapies, patient survival time may be extended by only a few months. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms of HCC development and progression remain poorly understood. In the present study, the single-cell transcriptome of one in vivo HCC tumor sample, two in vitro HCC cell lines and normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analysed in order to identify the potential mechanism underlying the development and progression of HCC. Interestingly, JunB proto-oncogene was identified to serve a role in the immune response and in development and progression of HCC, potentially contributing to the development of novel therapeutics for HCC patients.
