Squamous cell carcinomas induced an increase in the expression of Fc receptors, lysosomal and proteasomal enzymes in SSMs. Imaging of mouse and patient lymph nodes confirmed the presence of the top differentially expressed genes. These results suggest that SSMs respond to tumor formation by upregulating the machinery necessary for presentation of tumor particulate antigens to B cells. Chronic liver fibrosis is an inevitable stage for the development of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). However, anti-fibrotic therapies have been unsuccessful so far. The biological functions and molecular mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the host immune system during chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, especially in fibrosis, are still largely unknown. The total RNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from asymptomatic carriers (ASCs) or CHB receiving at least 8 years of anti-viral treatments was analyzed using Arraystar microarray and validated quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Correlation analysis was conducted based on correlation coefficients, Clusterprofile, and RNA Interactome Database (RAID). The functions of lncRNA in monocytes were determined loss-of-function RNAi or gain-of-function lentivirus assays. The expression levels of mRNAs or proteins were evaluated using qRT-PCR, western blotting assay, or enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). AIM played in the activation of HSCs in CHB patients with long-term medication, but also provided a promising therapeutic target in the future treatment for liver fibrosis. These findings not only added knowledge to the understanding of the roles of which lncRNA-HEIM played in the activation of HSCs in CHB patients with long-term medication, but also provided a promising therapeutic target in the
