Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant diseases, and HBx leads to the development of HBV-associated HCC. Mitochondria are key organelles that regulate apoptosis, cellular energetics and signal transduction pathways, and are the source of HBx-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recent findings have shown that HBx interacts with the inner mitochondrial membrane protein, COXIII, via the yeast two-hybrid system, mating experiment and coimmunoprecipitation. The aim of the present study was to examine the co-localizaiton of HBx and COXIII in HL-7702 cells and to investigate ensuing alterations of mitochondrial function. An HL-7702 cell line stably expressing the HBx gene by lentivirus vectors was constructed. Confocal microscopy was utilized to assess the interaction between HBx protein and COXIII. Expression of COXIII, activities of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) and the mitochondrial membrane potential, which were functionally relevant to the HBx protein-COXIII interaction, were investigated in cell cultures. Moreover, the intracellular ROS levels were detected by flow cytometry. The results demonstrated that HBx co-localized with the inner mitochondrial protein, COXIII, in HL-7702 cells, causing the upre...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
