hepatitis b virus genome asymmetry in hepatocellular carcinoma

چکیده
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. methods: full genome sequencing of 24 patients with chronic hepatitis b, some of whom also had cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) was performed. mutations analysis was implemented in a comparison with a hbv genotype d reference from an international dna database. cpgprod, a web-based application, was used to evaluate cg content and predict cpg islands. results: all strains were 3182 base pairs (bp) in length, except for two cases of hcc in which 9 and 21 nt, respectively, were deleted in pres2. the genetic relatedness of these isolates was 97%-100%. there were common cpg-rich regions in all 24 isolated full genome sequences, however a strong negative gc skew for forming a cpg island in the minus strand were exhibited in overlap with enhancer i in three hcc patients, a cirrhotic patient and three with chronic hepatitis. conclusion: the high percentage of sequence identity between hbv isolates in our patients demonstrates that genomic factors, except for genotype, are involved in hepatocarcinogenesis. variations in gc content which were caused by a different spectrum of mutations may affect dna compositional asymmetry and epigenetic modification of hbv dna in hcc.

Hepatitis 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. ME...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus induced hepatocellular carcinoma.
A number of risk factors appear to play a role in Hepatocellularcinoma (HCC), HBV infection being one of the most important. Chronic inflammation and cytokines are key determinants in the development of fibrosis and liver cell proliferation. HBV DNA integration and/or expression of HBV proteins may have a direct effect on cellular functions. Occult hepatitis B virus infection is characterized b...
متن کامل[Hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis B virus].
Chronic hepatitis B is the most common cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Asia. Integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome is likely an early event of carcinogenesis. The integrated HBV genome may activate neighboring cellular genes directly to offer a selective growth advantage to the liver cells. Production of hepatitis B X protein can act as a transactivator on various cellular ge...
متن کاملExpression of B7-H4 and hepatitis B virus X in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
AIM To investigate the expression and clinical significance of B7-H4 and hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC). METHODS The expression of B7-H4 in the human HCC cell lines HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 were detected by western blot, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. The expression of B7-H4 and HBx in 83 HBV-HCC was detected by immunohis...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis in Kenya.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third most common malignancy in Kenyan males occurring with a peak incidence at 40 years of age. A worldwide correlation has been noted between the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and prevalence of hepatitis B virus. Liver biopsies with histological diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cirrhosis and the normals were reviewed by the authors. They wer...
