Hepatitis B virus replicating in hepatocellular carcinoma encodes HBx variants with preserved ability to antagonize restriction by Smc5/6
7 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus infection is a major cause of liver diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The viral regulatory protein HBx is essential for viral replication and has been involved in the development of HCC. Recently, we characterized a subset of HCCs that replicate HBV. Our aim was to characterize HBx encoded by the full-length HBV DNA (cccDNA) in HCC and non-HCC liver. HBx genes were amplified and...
