Glucocorticoid Stimulates Hepatitis B Viral Gene Expression in Cultured Human Hepatoma Cells
1 Jul 1992
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids have been shown to influence the severity of hepatitis B virus-related chronic hepatitis in human. However, very little is known about the effects of glucocorticoids on hepatitis B virus replication in vitro. In this report, we used a well-differentiated human hepatoma cell line, Hep3B, transfected with hepatitis B virus complementary DNA as a model to show that a glucocorticoid analog,...
