Abstract
AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive cancer that ranks the second leading cause of cancer related death. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the most prevalent etiological factor, especially in eastern world. However, the underlying mechanism of HBV infection-initialed carcinogenic progression remains largely unknown, making it difficult to improve therapeutic strategies for HBV-associated HCC (HBV+HCC). The virus drives multi-omics changes in human liver cells, leading to genomic instability, epigenomic modifications, and proteomic alterations. HBV infection also orchestrates the immunosuppressive microenvironment in HBV+HCC. This review summarized recent research progress with the multimodal methods covering genome, transcriptome, epigenome, and proteome introduced in the mechanistic studies for HBV+HCC.
