Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as primary malignancy of the liver has become the most common type of cancer worldwide. HCC development is mainly caused by viruses, especially the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Autophagy is an important defense mechanism against virus infection; however, HBV promotes autophagy mediated by the HBx protein which stimulates its replication. The autophagy-related protein 16-1 (ATG16L1) binds to the ATG12-ATG5 conjugate and forms a large protein autophagosome complex. Previous studies indicated that the ATG12-ATG5 conjugate was involved in HBV-associated HCC. Therefore, the ATG16L1 protein might consistently relate to this condition.
