Interferon-Stimulated Genes: A Complex Web of Host Defenses

TL;DR: This review begins by introducing interferon (IFN) and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway to highlight features that impact ISG production and describes ways in which ISGs both enhance innate pathogen-sensing capabilities and negatively regulate signaling through the Jak-STAT pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the hepatitis C virus life cycle paves the way for highly effective therapies

TL;DR: Ongoing and future trials will determine the best antiviral combinations and whether the current seemingly rich pipeline is sufficient for successful treatment of all patients in the face of major challenges, such as HCV diversity, viral resistance, the influence of host genetics, advanced liver disease and other co-morbidities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Living in the liver: hepatic infections

TL;DR: The interplay between pathogens and host factors that promote pathogen elimination and maintain organ integrity or that allow pathogen persistence are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-Dimensional Architecture and Biogenesis of Membrane Structures Associated with Hepatitis C Virus Replication

TL;DR: The morphology of the membranous rearrangements induced in HCV-infected cells resemble those of the unrelated picorna-, corona- and arteriviruses, but are clearly distinct from those from the closely related flavivirus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arbidol as a broad-spectrum antiviral: an update.

TL;DR: This review will explore the possibility and pertinence of ARB as a broad-spectrum antiviral, after a careful examination of its physico-chemical properties, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and molecular mechanisms of action.

Replication of Subgenomic Hepatitis C Virus RNAs in a Hepatoma Cell Line

TL;DR: This work defines the structure of HCV replicons functional in cell culture and provides the basis for a long-sought cellular system that should allow detailed molecular studies ofHCV and the development of antiviral drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of infectious hepatitis C virus in tissue culture from a cloned viral genome

TL;DR: It is shown that the JFH1 genome replicates efficiently and supports secretion of viral particles after transfection into a human hepatoma cell line (Huh7) and provides a powerful tool for studying the viral life cycle and developing antiviral strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardif is an adaptor protein in the RIG-I antiviral pathway and is targeted by hepatitis C virus

TL;DR: Cardif is described, a new CARD-containing adaptor protein that interacts with RIG-I and recruits IKKα, IKKβ and IKKɛ kinases by means of its C-terminal region, leading to the activation of NF-κB and IRF3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Replication of hepatitis C virus

TL;DR: The development of complete cell-culture systems should now enable the systematic dissection of the entire viral lifecycle, providing insights into the hitherto difficult-to-study early and late steps.
