CD40 expression in HCV-associated chronic liver diseases.
CD40 is expressed primarily on B cells and plays an important role in antigen presentation, B cell proliferation, and T cell activation. It has been reported that the CD40 signal modulates apoptosis and has an anti-viral effect in certain cells. Therefore, we investigated the expression and the function of CD40 in HCV-associated chronic liver disease. The expression of CD40 on liver tissues was...
متن کاملSome Platelet parameters in patients with HCV-Associated Chronic Liver Diseases
Egypt has the highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence all over the world. Thrombocytopenia is a common finding in subjects with chronic hepatitis C. The aim of the study was to measure different platelet parameters in patients with chronic hepatitis C. This study included twenty age and sex-matched healthy volunteers as a control (Group I), 40 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) (G...
متن کاملCorrection: Impaired Expression of Type I and Type II Interferon Receptors in HCV-Associated Chronic Liver Disease and Liver Cirrhosis
PURPOSE Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) respond poorly to interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy, but the reason for this is unclear. We previously reported that HCV-infection induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy response that selectively down regulates the type I IFN-α receptor-1 (IFNAR1) and RBV transport...
متن کاملThe Localization of HCV and the Expression of Fas Antigen in the Liver of HCV-related Chronic Liver Disease
pression. The localization of HCV was investigated by in situ hybridization (ISH), and the expression of Fas antigen was determined by immunohistochemistry using an antiFas monoclonal antibody, in 20 surgicallyresected liver specimens from anti-HCV positive patients. The Methylgreen/Pyronin Y technique clearly showed well-preserved tissue RNA in 8 of 20 livers. ISH determined the co-localizatio...
متن کاملthe liver microrna expression profiles associated with chronic hepatitis c virus (hcv) genotype-4 infection: a preliminary study
conclusions the identified expression profiles of some examined mirnas might offer important points to consider for the treatment of naive patients and the management of chronically infected hcv patients in egypt and around the world. results our results revealed differential expression levels of the analyzed mirnas compared to the normal controls. twenty-seven mirnas (including mir-105, mir-14...
