ZO-2 determines cell membrane localization of receptor NTCP and supports hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects hepatocytes by using sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as a receptor. NTCP can render non-permissive hepatocyte cell lines such as HepG2 permissive to HBV infection.

Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2) is decreased with viral infection and regulates pro‐labour mediators OA [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2017
ProblemIntrauterine infection caused by viral infection has been implicated to contribute to preterm birth. Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2) regulates inflammation in non‐gestational tissues in response to viral infection.Method of studyThe aims of this study were to determine the effect of: (i) viral dsRNA analogue polyinosinic ...

Effects of General Anesthesia on 2 Urinary Biomarkers of Kidney Injury—Hepatitis A Virus Cellular Receptor 1 and Lipocalin 2—in Male C57BL/6J Mice [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, 2019
Urinary biomarkers are used increasingly for sensitive prediction of kidney injury in preclinical and clinical studies. Given the frequent requirement of anesthesia in various animal models of disease, it is important to define the effects of anesthesia on kidney injury biomarkers to guide the appropriate selection of anesthetic agents and to avoid ...

Differential expression of HAVCR2 gene in pan-cancer: A potential biomarker for survival and immunotherapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 3 (TIM-3) has emerged as a promising immune checkpoint target in cancer therapy. However, the profile of the hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2) gene, encoding TIM-3 expression, is still obscure, along with its role
