MMP10 and cancer: Particularly, truncated HBx proteins form chimeric virus–host transcripts, typically containing C‐terminally truncated HBx proteins, which enhance cancer cell proliferation and migration by activating the Wnt‐5a signaling pathway and inhibiting apoptosis, thereby exacerbating malignant transformation through oxidative DNA damage and increased matrix metalloproteinase 10 (MMP‐10) expression [67].
