چکیده
conclusions our results revealed the possible crucial genes and mirnas involved in the initiation and progression of hcc cells infected with hcv. results based on the topological analysis of mirna-hubgene network, we identified the key hub mirnas. in order to identify the most important common sub-network, we aligned two ppi networks using netal tool. the c-jun gene was identified as the most important hub gene in both hcv and hcc networks. furthermore, the hsa-mir-34a, hsa-mir-155, hsa-mir-24, hsa-mir-744 and hsa-mir-92a were recognized as the most important hub mirnas with positive correlation in the chronic hcv and hcc samples. functional annotation of differentially expressed mirnas (dems) using the tool for annotations of human mirnas (tam) revealed that there is a considerable overlap between mirna gene expression profiles of hcv-infected and hcc cells. background hepatitis c virus (hcv) has been known as a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) worldwide. however, the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of hcv proteins on the hcc progression have remained unclear. objectives in the present study, we studied the possible role of hcv in the hcc initiation and invasion using topological analysis of protein-protein interaction (ppi) networks. materials and methods after analysis with geo2r, a ppi network of differentially expressed genes (degs) was constructed for both chronic hcv and hcc samples. the string and genemania databases were used to determine the putative interactions between degs. in parallel, the functional annotation of degs was performed using g: profiler web tool. the topological analysis and network visualization was carried outperformed using cytoscape software and the top hub genes were identified. we determined the hub genes-related mirnas using mirtarbase server and reconstructed a mirna-hubgene network.

How Hepatitis C Virus Leads to Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Network-Based Study
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been known as a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. However, the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of HCV proteins on the HCC progression have remained unclear. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we studied the possible role of HCV in the HCC initiation and invasion using topological analysis of protein-protein inter...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The interaction of HCV with its human host is complex and multilayered; stemming in part from the fact that HCV is a RNA virus with no ability to integrate in the host's genome. Direct and indirect mechanisms of HCV-induced HCC include activation of multiple host pathways such as liver fibrogenic pathways, cellular...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus and Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma in woodchuck were characterized for woodchuck hepatitis virus integration nea c-myc oncogene. In one tumor, viral integration resulted in overexpression of a c-myc viral cotranscript. In a second tumor, viral insertion, 600 bp upstream of c-myc exon 1, was associated with increased levels of normal c-myc mRNA. These results demonstrate that integration of woodchuck hepa...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus replication in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication is reported in both tumour and non-tumour tissue in a case of hepatocellular carcinoma. Viral replication was established by showing the presence of minus strand HCV RNA by PCR amplification, after excluding residual reverse transcriptase activity of Taq polymerase. No minus strand was found in serum derived virion RNA. PCR amplified products from both tumour...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Network Based Classification of Hepatocellular Cirrhosis and Carcinoma
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a main risk factor for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly to those patients with chronic liver disease or injury. The similar etiology leads to a high correlation of the patients suffering from the disease of liver cirrhosis with those suffering from the disease of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the biological mechanism for the relationship...
