Hepatitis B Viral Transactivator HBx Alleviates p53-mediated Repression of α-Fetoprotein Gene Expression
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is associated with development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The exact mechanism by which chronic infection with HBV contributes to onset of HCC is unknown. However, previous studies have implicated the HBV transactivator protein, HBx, in progression of HCC through its ability to bind the human tumor suppressor protein, p53. In this study, we have examined the...
