Carboxyl-Terminal Truncated HBx Regulates a Distinct MicroRNA Transcription Program in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development
4 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The biological pathways and functional properties by which misexpressed microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to liver carcinogenesis have been intensively investigated. However, little is known about the upstream mechanisms that deregulate miRNA expressions in this process. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx), a transcriptional trans-activator, is frequently expressed...
