Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, predominantly associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) infections. These infections drive persistent liver inflammation, culminating in cellular dysregulation, fibrosis, cancer. Despite advancements targeted therapies, drug resistance the lack reliable biomarkers for patient stratification still terribly hinder treatment viral HCC. To this end, review delves into intricate mechanisms underlying malignant transformation to HCC, including integration, genomic instability, epigenetic modifications, oxidative stress, gut microbiota dysbiosis, immune escape, abnormal signaling pathways, highlighting their complex interactions synergies. Cutting-edge preclinical clinical HCC management, lifestyle immunotherapies, gene-based approaches, innovative treatments, are further investigated, particular priority given therapeutic potential future applications overcoming current limitations. By synthesizing recent scientific insights, aims deepen understanding pathogenesis context hepatitis, paving way novel targets personalized strategies, ultimately improving outcomes.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the most prevalent and lethal forms liver cancer, contributing significantly to global cancer-related mortality. Conventional treatments, including surgical resection, transplantation, systemic therapies such as multikinase inhibitors immune checkpoint inhibitors, often face limitations toxicity drug resistance, emphasizing urgent need for more effective therapeutic strategies. In this study, we developed a galactose-functionalized dendrimer (Gal24) conjugated with natural flavonoid, silibinin, (Gal24-Sil), HCC therapy. our previous Gal24 target hepatocytes in vivo. Here, further demonstrated that conjugation silibinin platform enhanced its solubility efficacy. vitro studies Gal24-Sil conjugates improved anticancer efficacy HepG2 Hep3B cancer cells. The conjugate induced an inflammatory response reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, triggering cellular apoptosis necrosis. Furthermore, effectively reduced cell proliferation by promoting mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) depolarization inducing DNA damage. Our findings demonstrate promising nanoplatform therapy, offering over free Silibinin. This study highlights broader applicability addressing various diseases.
