Table 1 Expression levels of transforming growth factor β1 or connective tissue growth factor mRNA in human hepatocellular carcinoma (mean ± SD)

	n	TGF-β1 mRNA (A)	CCN2 mRNA (A)
Normal control	6	6.24 ± 2.35	6.42 ± 2.35
Carcinoma foci	36	15.02 ± 4.43^b	12.36 ± 6.08^b
Stroma around carcinoma foci	36	47.56 ± 7.31^d	60.27 ± 28.71^d

^bP < 0.01 vs normal control;

^dP < 0.01 vs carcinoma foci. TGF-β1: Transforming growth factor β1; CCN2: Connective tissue growth factor.

Table 2 Effect of connective tissue growth factor on HepG2 cell cycle progression

^aP < 0.05 vs normal control. TGF-β1: Transforming growth factor β1; CCN2: Connective tissue growth factor.
