Hepatitis C Virus Entry Is Impaired by Claudin-1 Downregulation in Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase-1-Deficient Cells
5 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT1) is involved in the assembly of hepatitis C virus (HCV) by facilitating the trafficking of the HCV core protein to the lipid droplet. Here, we abrogated DGAT1 expression in Huh-7.5 cells by using either the transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) or lentivirus vector short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and achieved complete long-term silencing of DGAT1. HCV...
