Background & Aims
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the most critical factor underlying liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. IL‐1β and IL‐18, generated by activation of the inflammasome/caspase‐1 signaling pathway, play important roles in the control and clearance of HBV. However, the specific relationship between the inflammasome response and IFN‐α resistance or viral persistence...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has four open reading frames (ORFs) of which ORF C is consists of the pre Core and Core genes encodes the Hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) and Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Studies have shown that HBeAg significantly inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome activation and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) production. However, the role of HBcAg and ORF C proteins (in this paper, ORF C proteins...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major diabetic complication. However, the initiating molecular events triggering DN are unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been identified as regulators that modulate the target gene expression and are involved in DN. However, the evidence of the mechanism is still insufficient in human samples. In this study, microRNA microarray assay was used to study gene differential...
