The mechanism of HBx protein to promote the initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma
AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide and the third most common cause of death from cancer, after lung and stomach cancer. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is closely related to HCC and is a major cause of HCC. HBV is a lysogenic virus of the hepadnavirus family.

HBx protein induces EMT through c-Src activation in SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell line
The relationships between epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx), and the non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Src were investigated. The HBx gene transfected SMMC-7721 cells underwent morphological changes from a classic

HBx targets centrosomal protein TAX1BP2 to promote genomic instability
Centrosome is a major microtubule-organizing centre for regulating spindle assembly and bipolarity.Evidence suggests that cancer is a multi-step accumulation process of genomic instability resulted from centrosome dysfunction.
