Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common primary cancer associated with high incidences of genetic variations including chromosome instability. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major causes of HCC. However, no previous work has assessed whether HCV proteins are associated with the induction of chromosome instability. Here, we found that liver cell lines constitutively expressing full-length or truncated versions of the HCV genome show a high incidence of chromosome instability. In particular, the overexpression of HCV NS5A protein in cultured liver cells was found to promote chromosome instability and aneuploidy. Further experiments showed that NS5A-induced chromosome instability is associated with aberrant mitotic regulations, such as, an unscheduled delay in mitotic exit and other mitotic impairments (e.g. multi-polar spindles). Thus, our results indicate that HCV NS5A protein may be directly involved in the induction of chromosome instability via mitotic cell cycle dysregulation, and provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of HCV-associated hepatocarcinogenesis.

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Hepatocellular Carcinoma is a malignant cancer in liver epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on Hepatocellular Carcinoma here.

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

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.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer and frequently occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. Here is the latest research.
