Abstract excerpt
During hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, chronic inflammation facilitates the evolution of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-promoting HBV mutants. Cytidine deaminases, whose expression is stimulated by inflammatory cytokines and/or chemokines, play an important role in bridging inflammation and HCC. Through G-to-A hypermutation, cytidine deaminases inhibit HBV replication and facilitate the...
