Specific polymorphisms in hepatitis C virus genotype 3 core protein associated with intracellular lipid accumulation.
BACKGROUND Steatosis is a common histological finding and a poor prognostic indicator in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In HCV genotype 3-infected patients, the etiology of steatosis appears to be closely correlated with unknown viral factors that increase intracellular lipid levels. We hypothesize that specific sequence polymorphisms in HCV genotype 3 core protein may be asso...
متن کاملthe correlation between interferon lambda 3 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to hepatitis b virus infection
conclusions our study showed no correlation between rs12979860 and rs8099917 snps and chronic hbv infection. further studies, with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities, are necessary to validate our findings. objectives this study was carried-out to investigate the association of ifnl3 gene polymorphisms (rs12979860 and rs8099917) with hbv susceptibility, in chronic hbv-infected patien...
متن کاملCellular immunity to hepatitis C virus core protein and the response to interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
To investigate the involvement of T-cell response against hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigens in viral clearance after interferon therapy, we measured interleukin-2 (IL-2) production by peripheral mononuclear cells in response to HCV core in patients with chronic hepatitis C. In a cohort of 43 patients, we investigated the frequency of circulating core-specific T-helper (Th) cell precursors by the...
متن کاملThe Correlation Between Interferon Lambda 3 Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Hepatitis B Virus Infection.
BACKGROUND Cytokines are proteins that mediate innate and adaptive immunity responses. It is hypothesized that interferon lambda 3 (IFNL3) levels can influence the outcome of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Polymorphisms in IFN genes have been associated with response to infection. OBJECTIVES This study was carried-out to investigate the association of IFNL3 gene polymorphisms (rs1...
متن کاملConcise review: Interferon-free treatment of hepatitis C virus-associated cirrhosis and liver graft infection
Chronic hepatitis C is a major reason for development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and a leading cause for liver transplantation. The development of direct-acting antiviral agents lead to (pegylated) interferon-alfa free antiviral therapy regimens with a remarkable increase in sustained virologic response (SVR) rates and opened therapeutic options for patients with advanced cirrhos...
