Activation of anti-hepatitis C virus responses via Toll-like receptor 7.
IFN-alpha is used to suppress the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in chronically infected patients with partial success. Here we present evidence showing that a ligand of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) can induce anti-HCV immunity not only by IFN induction, but also through an IFN-independent mechanism. Human hepatocyte line Huh-7 carrying an HCV replicon expressed TLR7, and activation of t...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus single-stranded RNA induces innate immunity via Toll-like receptor 7.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Innate immune responses to HCV infection are triggered through host recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Interferons are critical for the protection against HCV infection. However, the pathways linking virus recognition to IFN induction remain poorly understood. METHODS Immune cells and Huh-7 cells were infected with HCV cell culture (HCVcc) or transfected wi...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus core and NS3 antigens induced conjunctival inflammation via toll-like receptor–mediated signaling
PURPOSE Dry eye condition is an extrahepatic manifestation associated with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Since conjunctival inflammation can contribute to the dry eye condition, in the present study we analyzed the conjunctival inflammatory response to HCV core and NS3 proteins. METHODS We used primary human conjunctival fibroblasts for our study. Cytokines were measured with enz...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Toll-Like Receptor 7 and Toll-Like Receptor 9 in Hepatitis C Virus Infection Patients from Central China
PURPOSE To analyze the correlation of polymorphisms of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) (rs179009) and toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) (rs187084) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in the Han population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The genotypes of TLR7IVS2-151 in HCV infection were detected by Sanger sequencing using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism to determine the TLR...
متن کاملAnti-tumor Activity of Toll-Like Receptor 7 Agonists
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of pattern recognition receptors that play a bridging role in innate immunity and adaptive immunity. The activated TLRs not only induce inflammatory responses, but also elicit the development of antigen specific immunity. TLR7, a member of TLR family, is an intracellular receptor expressed on the membrane of endosomes. TLR7 can be triggered not only by ssR...
