Journal ArticleDOI
Occult hepatitis B virus infection
TL;DR: Much evidence suggests that hepatitis B virus can favour the progression of liver fibrosis and above all the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, and is an entity with world-wide diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C liver disease.
Irene Cacciola,Teresa Pollicino,Giovanni Squadrito,Giovanni Cerenzia,Maria Elena Orlando,Giovanni Raimondo +5 more
TL;DR: Occult hepatitis B infection occurs frequently in patients with chronic hepatitis C liver disease and may have clinical significance, and none of the sequenced HBV genomes had changes known to interfere with viral activity and gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis B Virus Replication Is Regulated by the Acetylation Status of Hepatitis B Virus cccDNA-Bound H3 and H4 Histones
Teresa Pollicino,Laura Belloni,Giuseppina Raffa,Natalia Pediconi,Giovanni Squadrito,Giovanni Raimondo,Massimo Levrero +6 more
TL;DR: The use of anti-acetyl-H4/-H3 specific antibodies to immunoprecipitate transcriptionally active chromatin revealed that HBV replication is regulated by the acetylation status of the cccDNA-bound H3/H4 histones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis B virus maintains its pro-oncogenic properties in the case of Occult HBV infection
Teresa Pollicino,Giovanni Squadrito,Giovanni Cerenzia,Irene Cacciola,Giuseppina Raffa,Antonio Craxì,Fabio Farinati,Gabriele Missale,Antonina Smedile,Claudio Tiribelli,Erica Villa,Giovanni Raimondo +11 more
TL;DR: Clear evidence is provided that occult HBV is a risk factor for development of HCC and that the potential mechanisms whereby overt HBV might induce tumor formation are mostly maintained in cases of occult infection.
