Liver Injury Increases the Incidence of HCC following AAV Gene Therapy in Mice
23 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) integrates into host genomes at low frequency, but when integration occurs in oncogenic hotspots it can cause hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Given the possibility of recombinant AAV (rAAV) integration leading to HCC, common causes of liver inflammation like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may increase the risk of rAAV-induced HCC. A rAAV targeting the oncogenic mouse Rian...
