Zusammenfassung
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which accounts for 80%-90% of primary liver tumors, is characterised by a very poor prognosis and is associated with high mortality. The molecular mechanisms responsible for development of this tumor are only incompletely understood. We could previously show that the promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) protein, a nuclear phosphoprotein which has been shown to inhibit cell growth and transformation of tumor cells, plays a role in the regulation of apoptotic factors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To clarify the clinical implication of PML in HCC, the expression of PML was…
