The human hepatoma cell line Hep 3B, which has the hepatitis B virus genome, shows over 80% decrease of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase activity, over 90% decrease of manganese superoxide dismutase activity, over 70% decrease of catalase activity, absence of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase activities, over 270-fold increase of ferritin content and 25-fold increase of total iron compared to normal autopsy liver. These conditions of low antioxidant enzyme activities and iron overload are those which support the accumulation of oxygen free-radicals and DNA damage commonly considered to be carcinogenic mechanisms.
