NKG2A is a NK cell exhaustion checkpoint for HCV persistence

Nature Communications, 2019
Exhaustion of cytotoxic effector natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells have important functions in the establishment of persistent viral infections, but how exhaustion is induced during chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains poorly defined ...

Prevalence of HCV and Its Correlation with HCV Genotypes

European Journal of Medical and Health Sciences, 2021
Introduction: Hepatitis C virus is known to cause liver inflammation, which may progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The genomes of HCV display sequence heterogenicity, thus, are classified in different genotypes and subtypes. Genotyping aids in understanding the epidemiology, biological features of the virus and inspecting the ...

Clathrin Light Chain B Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression Through Dual Mechanisms: Small Extracellular Vesicle‐Mediated Angiogenesis and the NF‐κB–PCLAF Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Clathrin Light Chain B (CLTB) drives hepatocellular carcinoma progression through dual pathways: intracellularly, it activates the NF‐κB–PCLAF axis to enhance small extracellular vesicle (sEV) uptake and tumor proliferation; extracellularly, CLTB‐enriched sEVs bind SH3KBP1 to inhibit its degradation, inducing angiogenesis and vascular leakage ...

17,β-estradiol inhibits hepatitis C virus mainly by interference with the release phase of its life cycle [PDF]

, 2016
Rationale & Aim: Estrogen and estrogen-mediated signalling protect from hepatitis C virus through incompletely understood mechanisms. We aimed to ascertain which phase(s) of HCV life cycle is/are affected by estrogens.

Hepatitis G Virus Infection in Patients with Hepatitis C

Journal of High Institute of Public Health, 2010
Hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection is a worldwide health problem causing acute and chronic non A- E hepatitis. Because HGV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) share same modes of transmission, co-infection with the two viruses is not uncommon especially among ...

Hepatoma cell density promotes claudin-1 and scavenger receptor BI expression and hepatitis C virus internalization. [PDF]

, 2009
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry occurs via a pH- and clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway and requires a number of cellular factors, including CD81, the tight-junction proteins claudin 1 (CLDN1) and occludin, and scavenger receptor class B member I (SR-BI).

Prognostic Impact of Hepatectomy Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Non‐Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2–3 cm): A Case‐Matched Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aims to elucidate prognostic outcomes of hepatectomy versus RFA for primary 2–3 cm HCC. Hepatectomy may offer superior prognostic benefits, especially in those with elevated AFP levels. The local recurrence rate in hepatectomy is significantly lower than RFA.

Distinct cytokine patterns in Occult Hepatitis C and Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection [PDF]

, 2011
Background & Aim: The immunopathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a matter of great controversy. The imbalance of T-helper lymphocyte cell cytokine production was believed to play an important pathogenic role in ...

Polyclonal and monoclonal B lymphocytes response in HCV-infected patients treated with direct-acting antiviral agents [PDF]

, 2017
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection can be associated with extrahepatic manifestations such as mixed cryoglobulinaemia and lymphoproliferative disorders that are endowed with increased rates of morbidity and all-cause mortality.
