ALDH2 deficiency promotes alcohol-associated liver cancer by activating oncogenic pathways via oxidized DNA-enriched extracellular vesicles
4 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Background & Aims Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the major causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Approximately 30–40% of the Asian population are deficient for aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a key enzyme that detoxifies the ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde. However, how ALDH2 deficiency affects alcohol-related HCC remains unclear. Methods ALDH2 polymorphisms were studied in 646 patients with viral...
