Even with the progress in therapy, 5-year survival rates remain unsatisfied. Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been epidemiologically associated with HCC and is the major etiology in the East Asian population. The detailed mechanism, especially the changes of DNA methylation and gene expression between the two types of virus-related HCC, and their contributions to the HCC development, metastasis, and recurrence remain largely unknown.\nMETHODS: In this integrated analysis, we characterized genome-scale profiles of HBV and HCV infected HCC by comparing their gene expression pattern, methylation profiles, and copy number variations from the publicly accessible data of The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA).\nRESULTS: The HLA-A, STAT1, and OAS2 genes were highly enriched and up-regulated discovered in the HCV-infected HCC. Hypomethylation but not copy number variations might be the major factor for the up-regulation of these immune-related genes in HCV-infected HCC.\nCONCLUSIONS: The results indicated the different epigenetic changes of HBV/HCV related hepatocarcinogenesis. The top up-regulated genes in HCV group were significantly clustered in the immune-related and defense response pathways. These findings will help us to understand the pathogenesis of HBV/HCV associated hepatocellular carcinoma.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "R packages (edgeR) were used for transcriptional profiling and the differential expressing assessment between HBV and HCV infected samples.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:31660973", "locator": "sections[4] \"Gene expression analysis\" paragraph 2", "quote": "R packages (edgeR) were used for transcriptional profiling and the differential expressing assessment between HBV and HCV infected samples."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The datasets analysed during the current study are available in the cbioportal or TCGA repository (https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=lihc_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018; https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/projects/TCGA-LIHC), under the accession code: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:31660973", "locator": "sections[22] \"Availability of data and materials\" paragraph 2", "quote": "The datasets analysed during the current study are available in the cbioportal or TCGA repository (https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=lihc_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018; https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/projects/TCGA-LIHC), under the accession code: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "partial", "objective": null, "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:31660973"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "blocked", "blocked_on": "data:accession_absent", "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
