Hepatitis B virus X protein-mediated upregulation of miR-221 activates the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis to promote NKT cells in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma
YUE CAO, Lin Hu, YISHU TANG
Abstract
Backgrounds: Both hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) and microRNA-221 (miR-221) have been implicated in the development of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study demonstrates that HB... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
