Abstract excerpt
AIM: To explore a novel function of a mutant of the hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx Delta 127) in the promotion of hepatoma cell migration. METHODS: The effect of HBx Delta 127 and wild type HBx on the migration ability of hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells were examined using wound healing assays in stable transfection systems. The full-length osteopontin(OPN) promoter sequence was cloned into the pGL3-Basic plasmid....
