| Shrnutí: | Jessica Zucman-Rossi and colleagues identify clonal integrations of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) in hepatocellular carcinomas. These AAV2 integrations occurred within known cancer driver genes, suggesting a pathogenic role of AAV2 in these patients.
Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are liver tumors related to various etiologies, including alcohol intake and infection with hepatitis B (HBV) or C (HCV) virus. Additional risk factors remain to be identified, particularly in patients who develop HCC without cirrhosis. We found clonal integration of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) in 11 of 193 HCCs. These AAV2 integrations occurred in known cancer driver genes, namely
CCNA2
(cyclin A2; four cases),
TERT
(telomerase reverse transcriptase; one case),
CCNE1
(cyclin E1; three cases),
TNFSF10
(tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 10; two cases) and
KMT2B
(lysine-specific methyltransferase 2B; one case), leading to overexpression of the target genes. Tumors with viral integration mainly developed in non-cirrhotic liver (9 of 11 cases) and without known risk factors (6 of 11 cases), suggesting a pathogenic role for AAV2 in these patients. In conclusion, AAV2 is a DNA virus associated with oncogenic insertional mutagenesis in human HCC. |
