The hepatitis C virus core protein of genotypes 3a and 1b downregulates insulin receptor substrate 1 through genotype‐specific mechanisms†

Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Both molecular and clinical evidence support a link between HCV infection and insulin resistance. We examined the in vitro interaction between the HCV core protein of genotypes 3a and 1b with the insulin-signaling pathway. We measured the expression levels of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), IRS-2, and other factors involved in the insulin signal pathway in a human hepatoma cell line (Huh-7)...
