Abrogation of p53-Induced Apoptosis by the Hepatitis B Virus X Gene

Open access
Wang, Xin Wei·2003·Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignant diseases worldwide and has become a leading cause for cancer-related deaths in adults from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa (1). The DNA tumor virus hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been implicated to play a major causative role in the development of HCC in man (2-4). The HBx gene, the smallest viral openreading frame that may be essential for the viral life cycle (5,6), largely contributes the oncogenecity of HBV. The selective retention and expression of the HBx gene during acute and chronic hepatitis as well as in a great majority of HCCs may constitute an important step during HCC development (7,8). The oncogenic potential of the HBx gene has been experimentally demonstrated in a transgenic mice model (9) and in cell culture systems (10,11). HBx alone can induce HCC in certain transgenic mice (9) or can increase susceptibility to chemical carcinogens (12) and accelerate c-myc-induced HCC (13). Consequently, as an oncoprotein, HBx has been reported to disregulate cell-cycle transition (14,15) to potentially target certain proteases and proteasome (16-18), to interact with DNA repair factors (19,20), or to interact with the p53 tumor suppressor gene product (21-24).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
