We examined the effect of hepatitis B virus X (HBx) on NF-kB- and AP-1-mediated transcription in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, Huh-7 with or without SUbgenomic hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA. Expression of HBx in Huh-7 cells with HCV resulted in 4.9 times increased NF-kB-activation and 3.8 times AP-1-activation whereas that without HCV resulted in 2.4 times increased NF-kB-activation and 2.3 times AP-1-activation. Interestingly, the expression of the matured form of HCV core protein, Core 173, did not activate NF-kB- or AP-1-transcription in either Huh7 with or without HCV replicon. HBx protein might play an important role in HCV-related hepatocarcinogenesis. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
