Ground glass hepatocytes (GGH) in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection harbor HBV pre-S deletion mutants endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and exhibit complex biologic features such as ER stress, DNA damage, growth advantage. The presence of serum has been shown to predict the development hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) carriers. GGHs hence represent a potentially preneoplastic lesion. Whether specific factor is overexpressed activated remains be clarified. In this study, factor(s) up-regulated...
Ground glass hepatocytes (GGHs) harboring hepatitis B virus (HBV) pre-S mutants have been recognized as precursor lesions of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previously, we observed the activation mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) in GGHs and HCCs, together with a decreased expression HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) HCC tissues. It is, therefore, hypothesized that mTOR during tumorigenesis may potentially down-regulate HBsAg expression. In this study, verified an inverse relationship between...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy is a serious event. It has been demonstrated that different ground‐glass hepatocyte (GGH) patterns harbor specific hepatitis B virus (HBV) pre‐S deletion mutants and represent preneoplastic lesions in chronic HBV infection. In the current study, authors investigated whether GGH pattern nontumorous liver tissues was associated with HBV‐related HCC surgery. METHODS: Clinicopathologic data from 82 patients...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) pre-S2 mutant can induce hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via the induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress to activate mammalian target rapamycin (MTOR) signaling. The association metabolic syndrome with HBV-related HCC raises possibility that mutant-induced MTOR activation may drive development disorders promote tumorigenesis in chronic HBV infection. To address this issue, glucose metabolism and gene expression profiles were analyzed transgenic mice livers harboring...
