Promotion of microsatellite instability by hepatitis C virus core protein in human non-neoplastic hepatocyte cells.

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus proteins exert an effect on a variety of cellular functions, including gene expression, signal transduction, and apoptosis, and because they possess oncogenic potentials, they have also been suggested to play an important role in hepatocarcinogenesis. Although the mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis remain poorly understood, we hypothesized that the disease may arise because of a disturbance of...
