Lamin A/C deficiency causes defective nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction.
Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) cause a variety of human diseases including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. The tissue-specific effects of lamin mutations are unclear, in part because the function of lamin A/C is incompletely defined, but the many muscle-specific phenotypes suggest that defective lamin A/C could increas...

متن کاملHepatitis C Virus and Vaccine Development
The prevalence of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is approximately 3% around the world. This virus causes chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The effectiveness of interferon-α and ribavirin therapy is about 50% and is associated with significant toxicity and cost. Hence, generating new vaccines or drugs is an obligation. However, there is no vaccine available for clinical u...
متن کاملCurcumin inhibits hepatitis B virus infection by down-regulating cccDNA-bound histone acetylation
AIM To investigate the potential effect of curcumin on hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and the underlying mechanism. METHODS A HepG2.2.15 cell line stably transfected with HBV was treated with curcumin, and HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and e antigen (HBeAg) expression levels were assessed by ELISA. Intracellular HBV DNA replication intermediates and cccDNA were ...
متن کاملBreaking Down Barriers to Care in Hepatitis C Virus Infection
The Global Burden of Disease study revealed that both cirrhosis and liver cancer were among the top 20 causes for mortality, but when these 2 forms of end-stage liver disease are taken together, liver disease moves into the top 10, with levels of mortality and morbidity similar to those exerted by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, tuberculosis, and malaria [1, 2]. On a global scale,...
