Hepatitis C virus core protein stimulates hepatocyte growth

19 Apr 2005

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein has been implicated in the development of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we report that expression of HCV core protein by transient transfection increased cell proliferation, DNA synthesis, and cell cycle progression in Huh-7 cells, a human HCC-derived cell line. Culture supernatant from transfected cells also harbored a growth-promoting effect. Moreover, a...
