α-SMA as a marker of CAF infiltration in HCC. A Phase contrast microscopy images show the representative cellular morphology of liver fibroblasts (LFs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). B, C Immunofluorescence staining (B) and western blot (C) analysis of α-SMA, CD34, CD45 and vimentin in LFs and CAFs. D Collagen gel-contraction assay showed the collagen contraction ability of LFs and CAFs. E Dual immunofluorescence staining of pan-CKs and α-SMA in HCC tissues. **P < 0.01
