Hepatitis C Virus Evasion from RIG-I-Dependent Hepatic Innate Immunity
Exposure to hepatitis C virus (HCV) usually results in persistent infection that often develops into chronic liver disease. Interferon-alpha (IFN) treatment comprises the foundation of current approved therapy for chronic HCV infection but is limited in overall efficacy. IFN is a major effector of innate antiviral immunity and is naturally produced in response to viral infection when viral path...
متن کاملJunín Virus Infection Activates the Type I Interferon Pathway in a RIG-I-Dependent Manner
Junín virus (JUNV), an arenavirus, is the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever, an infectious human disease with 15-30% case fatality. The pathogenesis of AHF is still not well understood. Elevated levels of interferon and cytokines are reported in AHF patients, which might be correlated to the severity of the disease. However the innate immune response to JUNV infection has not been ...
متن کاملLinks between innate and adaptive immunity via type I interferon.
Type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) is expressed rapidly following exposure to a wide variety of infectious agents and plays a key role in innate control of virus replication. Recent studies have demonstrated that dendritic cells both produce IFN-alpha/beta and undergo maturation in response to IFN-alpha/beta. Moreover, IFN-alpha/beta has been shown to potently enhance immune responses in vivo t...
متن کاملBoth STING and MAVS Fish Orthologs Contribute to the Induction of Interferon Mediated by RIG-I
Viral infections are detected in most cases by the host innate immune system through pattern-recognition receptors (PRR), the sensors for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which induce the production of cytokines, such as type I interferons (IFN). Recent identification in mammalian and teleost fish of cytoplasmic viral RNA sensors, RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), and their mitochondr...
متن کاملDifferential, type I interferon-mediated autophagic trafficking of hepatitis C virus proteins in mouse liver.
BACKGROUND & AIMS The hepatitis C virus (HCV) serine protease NS3/4A can cleave mitochondria-associated antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and block retinoic acid-inducible gene I-mediated interferon (IFN) responses. Although this mechanism is thought to have an important role in HCV-mediated innate immunosuppression, its significance in viral persistence is not clear. METHODS We generated tr...
