The Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
متن کاملVIRAL HEPATITIS Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Inhibits Hepatitis C Virus Cell Entry in Human Hepatoma Cells
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors. One of these is likely to be the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). To further understand the role of SR-BI, we examined the effect of SR-BI ligands on HCVpp and HCVcc infectivity. Oxidized low...
متن کاملThe low-density lipoprotein receptor plays a role in the infection of primary human hepatocytes by hepatitis C virus.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The direct implication of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection of human hepatocyte has not been demonstrated. Normal primary human hepatocytes infected by serum HCV were used to document this point. METHODS Expression and activity of LDLR were assessed by RT-PCR and LDL entry, in the absence or presence of squalestatin or 25-hydroxychole...
متن کاملCharacterization of low- and very-low-density hepatitis C virus RNA-containing particles.
The presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-containing particles in the low-density fractions of plasma has been associated with high infectivity. However, the nature of circulating HCV particles and their association with immunoglobulins or lipoproteins as well as the characterization of cell entry have all been subject to conflicting reports. For a better analysis of HCV RNA-containing partic...
متن کاملOxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Is a Novel Predictor of Interferon Responsiveness in Chronic Hepatitis C Infection
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell entry is mediated by several cell surface receptors, including scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). Oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) inhibits the interaction between HCV and SR-BI in a noncompetitive manner. We tested whether serum oxLDL levels correlate with sustained virologic response (SVR) rates after interferon-based treatment of...
