Abstract excerpt
The genesis of hepatocellular carcinoma is promoted by changes in the regulatory MDM2-P14ARF system. The incidence of such changes has to date not been analysed in non-tumourous livers showing regenerative proliferation. In the present study, 24 cirrhotic livers of alcohol-, autoimmue disorder- or HCV-caused genesis were screened for MDM2-P14ARF alterations at the level of protein, DNA and mRNA. Using confocal...
