Hepatitis C Virus Exploits Death Receptor 6-mediated Signaling Pathway to Facilitate Viral Propagation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The life cycle of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is highly dependent on host proteins for virus propagation. By transcriptome sequencing analysis, we identified host genes that were highly differentially expressed in HCV-infected cells.

Hepatitis C Virus and Alcohol [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Liver Disease, 2009
This review will focus on the prevalence of hepatitis c virus (HCV) infection in alcoholics with and without liver disease. Evidence will be presented to demonstrate that ethanol and chronic HCV infection synergistically accelerate liver injury. Some of the major postulated mechanisms responsible for disease progression include high rates of apoptosis,

Hepatitis C virus and hepatocarcinogenesis

open access: yesClinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2012
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus that is unable to integrate into the host genome. However, its proteins interact with various host proteins and induce host responses. The oncogenic process of HCV infection is slow and insidious and probably requires multiple steps of genetic and epigenetic alterations, the activation of cellular oncogenes, the ...
