Persistent hepatocyte apoptosis promotes tumorigenesis from diethylnitrosamine-transformed hepatocytes through increased oxidative stress, independent of compensatory liver regeneration

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma highly occurs in chronic hepatitis livers, where hepatocyte apoptosis is frequently detected. Apoptosis is a mechanism that eliminates mutated cells. Hepatocyte apoptosis induces compensatory liver regeneration, which is believed to contribute to tumor formation. He...
