Abstract excerpt
Allelic losses on chromosome 1p are frequent in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), suggesting the presence of a tumour suppressor gene in this region. The gene for peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1), an antioxidant enzyme, has been mapped to 1p34.1. Mice lacking PRDX1 develop HCC with high frequency. Because oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of HCC, this study was designed to determine whether the PRDX1...
