The function of targeted host genes determines the oncogenicity of HBV integration in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Although hepatitis B virus (HBV) integration into the human genome has been considered as one of the major causative factors to hepatocarcinogenesis, the underlying mechanism(s) was still elusive. Here we investigate the essential difference(s) of HBV integration between HCC tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues and explore the factor(s) that determine the oncogenicity of HBV integration....
