The presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and the permanent integration of HBV DNA into the host genome confers the risk of viral reactivation and hepatocellular carcinoma. Nucleoside/nucleotide analogs alone have little or no capacity to eliminate replicative HBV templates consisting of cccDNA or integrated HBV DNA. Recently, CRISPR/Cas9 technology has bee...
Transcription of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from the covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) template is essential for its replication. Suppressing the level and transcriptional activity of cccDNA might have anti-HBV effect. Although cellular transcription factors, such as CREB, which mediate HBV transcription, have been well described, transcriptional coactivators that facilitate this process are...
Persistence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection requires covalently closed circular (ccc)DNA formation and amplification, which can occur via intracellular recycling of the viral polymerase-linked relaxed circular (rc) DNA genomes present in virions. Here we reveal a fundamental difference between HBV and the related duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) in the recycling mechanism. Direct comparison o...
HBV infection remains a leading cause of death worldwide. IFN-α inhibits viral replication in vitro and in vivo, and pegylated IFN-α is a commonly administered treatment for individuals infected with HBV. The HBV genome contains a typical IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE), but the molecular mechanisms by which IFN-α suppresses HBV replication have not been established in relevant experimen...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is organised into minichromosomes by histone and non-histone proteins. Remodelling of minichromosomes is crucial for the regulation of HBV replication, which is dependent on the presence of the hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx). However, the mechanisms of HBx-dependent HBV replication...
conclusions this study showed that cccdna can be detected in the plasma specimen of 17.9% of iranian treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis b infection. therefore, designing prospective studies focusing on the detection of cccdna in these patients would provide more information. results the mean (sd) age of the patients was 41.1 ± 12.4 years (range, 20 - 62 years). from a total of 106 ...
Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is formed by conversion of capsid-associated relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) via unknown mechanisms and exists in the nucleus of the infected hepatocyte as a minichromosome that serves as the transcription template for viral RNAs. To study the molecular pathway of cccDNA formation and its regulation by viral and cellular factors, w...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) interplay was investigated by examining liver and serum samples from 21 coinfected and 22 HBV-monoinfected patients with chronic liver disease. Different real-time PCR assays were applied to evaluate intrahepatic amounts of HBV DNA, covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), pre-S/S RNAs, and HDV RNA. Besides HBV DNA ...
Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is a unique episomal replicative intermediate molecule of hepatitis B virus (HBV) which plays a key role in viral persistence. The aim of this study was to prove cccDNA persistence in the liver tissue of patients negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and positive for antibody to hepatitis core antigen (anti-HBc). Intrahepatic HBV DNA and cccDNA...
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to be a major health burden worldwide; it can cause various degrees of liver damage and is strongly associated with the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The molecular mechanisms determining HBV persistence are not fully understood, but these appear to be multifactorial and the unique replication strategy employed by...
