The expression levels of target proteins in serum and liver tissue of HCC patients. A, B ELISA was used to detect the levels of Ang II and AT1R-Ab in serum of HCC patients and normal people. There were 65 patients with HCC, 56 patients returned to the clinic 6 months after operation, and 82 normal people. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 VS normal population; #P < 0.05 VS preoperative HCC patients (E-S grades I + II); and P < 0.05 VS preoperative HCC patients (E-S grades III + IV). C, D Representative IHC images and semi-quantitative analysis showed the expressions of AT1R, PLC-β1 and CaM in different liver tissues (magnification, × 200). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 VS liver para-carcinoma tissue; #P < 0.05 VS HCC tissue (E-S grades I + II)
