The aim of this study was to identify differential gene and protein expression associated with GBV-C that may be of importance in reduction of HCV-related liver disease. GB virus C (GBV-C) infection leads to improved outcomes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Furthermore, GBV-C has be...

The zinc-inducible C/EBP expression vectors pMTa, pMTb, pMTd and pMTe were constructed by cloning the human C/EBPa, C/EBPb, C/EBPd and C/EBPe cDNAs, respectively, into the pMTCB6+ vector. NIH 3T3 cells were transfected with zinc-inducible C/EBP vectors as well as control empty vector using the GeneP...

Background/Aims: Ribavirin improves treatment response to pegylated-interferon (PEG-IFN) in chronic hepatitis C but the mechanism remains controversial. We studied correlates of response and mechanism of action of ribavirin in treatment of hepatitis C. Methods: 70 treatment-naïve patients were rand...

Discriminating pathogenic bacteria from energy-harvesting commensals is key to host immunity. Using mutants defective in the enzymes of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) cycling, we examined the role of this nutrient-sensing pathway in the Caenorhabidits elegans innate immune response. Using w...

Recent identification of IL28B gene polymorphisms associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance suggests a role for type III interferons (IFNs) in hepatitis C infection. The function of type III IFNs in intrinsic antiviral immunity is poorly understood. Here we show that HCV infection of primar...

Over expression of PDGF-C in mouse liver resulted in the progression of hepatic fibrosis, steatosis and the development of HCC; this mouse model closely resembles the human HCC that is frequently associated with hepatic fibrosis. Peretinoin (generic name; code, NIK-333), developed by the Kowa Compan...

In Caenorhabditis elegans, the six proteins that make up the REF-1 family are HES homologs that act in both Notch dependent and Notch-independent pathways to regulate embryonic events. To further our understanding of how the REF-1 family works to coordinate post-embryonic cellular events, we perfor...

Mutation or epigenetic silencing of the transcription factor C/EBP? is observed in ~10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In both cases, a common global gene expression profile is observed, but down-stream targets relevant for leukemogenesis are not known. Here we identify Sox4 as a dir...

Males are 50% more likely to develop end stage kidney failure compared to women. As a model of the human condition we analyzed gene expression changes in healthy and diseased mouse kidneys. Interestingly, the set of gender biased genes in healthy kidneys were different from those in diseased kidneys...
