Nuclear respiratory factor 1 plays an essential role in transcriptional initiation from the hepatitis B virus x gene promoter.
The X gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major factors in HBV-induced hepatocarcinogenesis and is essential for the establishment of productive HBV replication in vivo. Recent studies have shown that the X gene product targets mitochondria and induces calcium flux, thereby activating Ca(+)-dependent signal transduction pathways. However, regulatory mechanisms of X gene expression hav...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus X protein plays an important role in gastric ulcers.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects many individuals globally each year. Researchers usually focus on the relationship between HBV and liver diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects of HBV infection on gastric mucosa. We detected the levels of HBX protein and mRNA in specimens from sixty-four chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB) with gastric...
متن کاملMutations at Nucleotide 1762, 1764 and 1766 of Hepatitis B Virus X Gene in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B and Hepatitis B-Related Cirrhosis
Abstract Background and objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus with high tendency toward hepatic tissue. There are currently about 3 million HBV-infected people and 350 to 400 million chronic carriers of this virus in the world. X protein plays a role in the over-expression of oncogenes, carcinogenicity of liver cells and overlaps with the basal co...
متن کاملrpb۵-mediating protein suppresses hepatitis b virus (hbv) transcription and replication by counteracting the transcriptional activation of hepatitis b virus x protein in hbv replication mouse model
conclusions our study demonstrated that a low dose of rmp could inhibit hbv transcription and replication, which is dependent on the appearance of hbx in vivo. results rpb5-mediating protein could inhibit hbv transcription and replication in groups transfected with the 1.2 wt and hbx. the inhibitory effect disappeared in the 1.2x (-) groups, yet it reappeared in the groups co-transfected with 1...
متن کاملMutations in pre-core and basal-core promoter regions of hepatitis B virus in chronic HBV patients from Golestan, Iran
Objective(s): It has been reported that the mutation of the pre-core (PC) and basal-core promoter (BCP) may play an important role in the development of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study the PC and BCP mutations were investigated in chronic HBV patients. Materials and Methods:In this study, 120 chronic HBV patients from Golestan, Northeast of Iran who were not vaccinated...
