Characterization of microRNA expression profiles associated with hepatitis B virus replication and clearance in vivo and in vitro
18 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Alpha interferon (IFN-α) is an approved treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). MicroRNA (miRNA) are currently known as a part of IFN-mediated antiviral defense. We aimed at characterizing the miRNA expression associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and IFN-mediated HBV clearance. METHODS: We investigated the expression patterns of cellular miRNA induced by HBV replication and/or...
