Figure 1 Application of nanomedicine in hepatocellular carcinoma.
The tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma and over-expressed receptors on tumor cells including anti-glypican-3, asialoglycoprotein, transferrin receptor, folic acid receptor, Axl and integrins. These receptors on tumor cells are prime targets of nanontherapy, such as sorafenib loaded polymer-based nanoparticles[8-13,16]. GPC3: Anti-glypican-3; FAR: Folic acid receptor; TfR: Transferrin receptor; ASGPR: Asialoglycoprotein.
