Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide strongly linked to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, the exact pathogenetic mechanisms are still unclear. METHODS: We assessed the expression of apoptosis genes (GSK3-B, AKT-1, Bcl-2), inflammatory cytokines (TNFalpha, TNF-RI, TNF-RII, IL-6, IL-6R), anti-inflammatory IL-10, CRP and alphaFP by reverse...
