Gene copy number variations in the leukocyte genome of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with integrated hepatitis B virus DNA
Integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA into the human liver cell genome is believed to promote HBV-related carcinogenesis. This study aimed to quantify the integration of HBV DNA into the leukocyte genome in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients in order to identify potential biomarkers for HBV-related diseases. Whole-genome comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) chip array analyses were...
متن کاملSex-related differences in DNA copy number alterations in hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Males have a higher prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than females in general, but the reasons for the sex disparity are still obscure. DNA copy number alteration (CNA) is a major feature of solid tumors including HCC, but whether CNA plays a role in sex-related differences in HCC development has never been evaluated. METHODS High-resolution array comparative genomic hyb...
متن کاملhepatitis b virus genome asymmetry in hepatocellular carcinoma
background: the association between hepatitis b virus (hbv) mutations and hepatocarcinogenesis were reported in the literature. preference for g over c in the leading dna strand has been reported to account for the asymmetry in nucleotide (nt) composition. the aim of this study was to analyze the complete genome sequence and compositional asymmetry of hbv in different stages of hepatitis b. met...
متن کاملAlteration of gene expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma with integrated hepatitis B virus DNA.
PURPOSE Integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA into the human genome is one of the most important steps in HBV-related carcinogenesis. This study attempted to find the link between HBV DNA, the adjoining cellular sequence, and altered gene expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with integrated HBV DNA. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined 15 cases of HCC infected with HBV by cassette lig...
متن کاملThe Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
