Activation of the CKI-CDK-Rb-E2F Pathway in Full Genome Hepatitis C Virus-expressing Cells
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes persistent infection in hepatocytes, and this infection is, in turn, strongly associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. To clarify the mechanisms underlying these effects, we established a Cre/loxP conditional expression system for the precisely self-trimmed HCV genome in human liver cells. Passage of hepatocytes expressing replicable full-length HCV (HCR6-Rz) RNA...
