Hepatitis C Virus Impairs p53 via Persistent Overexpression of 3β-Hydroxysterol Δ24-Reductase
28 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Persistent infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces tumorigenicity in hepatocytes. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying this process, we generated monoclonal antibodies on a genome-wide scale against an HCV-expressing human hepatoblastoma-derived cell line, RzM6-LC, showing augmented tumorigenicity. We identified 3beta-hydroxysterol Delta24-reductase (DHCR24) from this screen and showed that its...
