The Translational Bridge between Inflammation and Hepatocarcinogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Viral infections or persistent alcohol or drug abuse, together with intrinsic factors, lead to hepatitis, which often ends in the development of liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With this review, we describe inflammatory liver diseases, such as acute liver failure, virus-induced hepatitis, alcoholic- and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis, and highlight their driving mechanisms. These include external factors such as alcohol misuse, viral infection and supernutrition, as well as intrinsic parameters such as genetic disposition and failure, in immune tolerance. Additionally, we describe what is known about the translational machinery within all these diseases. Distinct eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) with specific functional roles and
