摘要
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is a very deadly disease.HCC initiation and progression involve multiple genetic events,including the activation of proto-oncogenes and disruption of the function of specific tumor suppressor genes.Activation of oncogenes stimulates cell growth and survival,while loss-of-function mutations of tumor suppressor genes result in unrestrained cell growth.In this review,we summarize the new findings that identified novel proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors in HCC over the past five years.These findings may inspire the development of novel therapeutic strategies to improve the outcome of HCC patients.
