Research Abstract |
In this study, to find the novel inhibitory mechanism against hepatitis viral replication in hepatocytes, the mouse and cultured cells expressing the protein of hepatitis B virus were utilized. As a result, it was suggested that the controlled induction of nuclear cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor(p21), one of the anti-cancerous molecules, might exhibit the anti-hepatocarcinogenic and further anti-viral effects. The current result could contribute to the development of novel therapy against intractable viral hepatitis.
