Schematic diagram of the CCL2/CCR2 axis activating Hh signaling

Schematic diagram of the CCL2/CCR2 axis activating Hh signaling. CCL2 triggers SMO and Gli-1 expression. Accumulated Gli-1 translocates to the nucleus, results in the activation of the EMT-related genes, leading to EMT and invasion of HCC cells. CCL2, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2; CCR2, C-C chemokine receptor type 2; Hh, Hedgehog; SMO, smoothened; EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.
