Abstract excerpt
Despite the extensive studies on the roles of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx), the effects of HBx on the important cellular processes such as cell growth, cell transformation and apoptosis remain controversial. Our previous study showed that the balance between p53-dependent activation and p53-independent repression by HBx determines the expression level of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. In the present...
