Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Discovery of therapeutic targets for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is urgently needed. As an important hepatitis B virus (HBV) oncoprotein, pre-S2 mutant activates multiple signalling pathways to induce HCC development. METHODS: This study investigated the effect of pre-S2 mutant on regulating microRNA (miRNA) expression and the role of miRNAs in mediating pre-S2 mutant's oncogenic functions....
