Journal ArticleDOI

The core protein of hepatitis C virus induces hepatocellular carcinoma in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the HCV core protein has a chief role in the development of HCC, and that these transgenic mice provide good animal models for determining the molecular events in hepatocarcinogenesis with HCV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C virus core protein induces hepatic steatosis in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the HCV core protein plays a direct role in the development of hepatic steatosis, which characterizes hepatitis C, and this transgenic mouse system would be a good animal model for the study of pathogenesis in human HCV infection.
Journal Article

Oxidative Stress in the Absence of Inflammation in a Mouse Model for Hepatitis C Virus-associated Hepatocarcinogenesis

TL;DR: The HCV core protein alters the oxidant/antioxidant state in the liver in the absence of inflammation and may thereby contribute to or facilitate, at least in part, the development of HCC in HCV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sialadenitis histologically resembling Sjögren syndrome in mice transgenic for hepatitis C virus envelope genes

TL;DR: Observations suggest that HCV might be involved in the pathogenesis of sialadenitis in humans and that this transgenic mouse system would be a good animal model for the study of HCV infection.
