Integration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is found in most HBV-related human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). In the past, construction of genomic libraries was mainly employed to study the role of viral integration. However, large amounts of tissue DNA and a laborious screening procedures were required. Inverse polymerase chain reaction (IPCR) is based on the simple procedures of digestion of DNA with restriction enzymes and circularization of cleavage products before amplification using primers synthesized in the opposite orientations to those normally employed for PCR. This technique allows the in vitro amplification of DNA flanking a region of known sequence. By employing this method, starting from nanograms of hepatoma DNA, two adjacent cellular sequences were cloned from 11 HBV integrants in three HCCs. The original configurations in the chromosomes were further confirmed. One of the flanking cellular sequences was identified as the human 28S rRNA gene, the other was not found homologous to any known human sequences. This method appears to be practical and can be improved further to clone more flanking cellular sequences, especially in early and small HCCs.

D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication. Amplification, Gene
D006515 Hepatitis B virus The type species of the genus ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS which causes human HEPATITIS B and is also apparently a causal agent in human HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. The Dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
