HBV Viral Load and Liver Enzyme Levels May Be Associated with the Wild MBL2 AA Genotype
The present study investigated the frequencies of rs1800450 (MBL ⁎B, G>A), rs1800451 (MBL ⁎C, G>A), and rs5030737 (MBL ⁎D, C>T) polymorphisms in exon 1 of the MBL2 gene among patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Blood samples from patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV; n = 65), hepatitis C virus (HCV; n = 92), and a noninfected control group (n = 300) were investigated. The presence o...
متن کاملDecreased Expression Levels of S100A12 and RAGE May Be Associated with Chronic HBV Infection
Background and Aims: Engagement of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligand “S100A12 protein” induce a cascade of reactions that eventually might lead to develop an inflammatory response dependent on NF-κB. Although involvement of S100A12 and RAGE in some autoimmune disease have proved, in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection functions of the prote...
متن کاملViral Load Affects the Immune Response to HBV in Mice With Humanized Immune System and Liver
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects hepatocytes, but the mechanisms of the immune response against the virus and how it affects disease progression are unclear. METHODS We performed studies with BALB/c Rag2-/-Il2rg-/-SirpaNODAlb-uPAtg/tg mice, stably engrafted with human hepatocytes (HUHEP) with or without a human immune system (HIS). HUHEP and HIS-HUHEP mice were given an intra...
متن کاملO-8: Some Variations of the TSSK2 Gene May be Associated with Impaired Spermatogenesis
Background: Tssk2, a member of the testis specific serine/threonine kinase (TSSK) family, is expressed predominantly in the testis and crucial for the formation and function of the sperm cells in mouse. Targeted deletion of Tssk1 and 2 in male chimeric mice caused infertility due to haploinsufficiency of the genes. Therefore it is reasonable to postulate that mutations in its human homologue TS...
متن کاملDistribution Pattern of HCV Genotype and Its Association with Liver Functioning Enzymes and Viral Load
Background and objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic infectious disease called hepatitis C that mainly affects the liver by scaring the liver tissues which ultimately leads to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The viral load and genotyping of the virus was done from patients sample and the functionality of the various liver enzymes was tested by biochemical approaches. Method...
