Serial gene expression profiling in the liver of Pdgf-c Tg mice that developed hepatic fibrosis and tumors

Over expression of PDGF-C in mouse liver resulted in the progression of hepatic fibrosis, steatosis and the development of HCC; this mouse model closely resembles the human HCC that is frequently associated with hepatic fibrosis.
