Direct evidence for interferon-gamma production by effector-memory-type intraepidermal T cells residing at an effector site of immunopathology in fixed drug eruption.
- Y. Mizukawa, Y. Yamazaki, +5 authors T. Shiohara
- Biology, Medicine
- The American journal of pathology
- 1 October 2002
Effector-memory T cells are strategically placed to epithelial tissues to provide frontline immune protection against pathogens. Their detrimental effects, however, have been rarely examined because… Expand
Activation of the CKI-CDK-Rb-E2F Pathway in Full Genome Hepatitis C Virus-expressing Cells*
- K. Tsukiyama-Kohara, S. Tóne, +11 authors M. Kohara
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 9 April 2004
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes persistent infection in hepatocytes, and this infection is, in turn, strongly associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. To clarify the mechanisms… Expand
Virological significance of low‐level hepatitis B virus infection in patients with hepatitis C virus associated liver disease
- T. Tanaka, K. Inoue, +10 authors M. Kohara
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of medical virology
- 1 February 2004
The clinical and virological significance of low‐level viremia by hepatitis B virus (HBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐infected patients remains unclear. HBV‐DNA and HCV‐RNA were, therefore,… Expand
Protein kinase R is increased and is functional in hepatitis C virus–related hepatocellular carcinoma
- Y. Hiasa, Y. Kamegaya, +4 authors R. Chung
- Biology, Medicine
- American Journal of Gastroenterology
- 1 November 2003
OBJECTIVE:Protein kinase R (PKR) interacts with dsRNA and phosphorylates eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF2α), which in turn inhibits host translation initiation as well as hepatitis C virus (HCV)… Expand
Impaired function of antigen-presenting dendritic cells in patients with chronic hepatitis B: localization of HBV DNA and HBV RNA in blood DC by in situ hybridization.
- S. Arima, S. M. Akbar, +4 authors M. Onji
- Biology, Medicine
- International journal of molecular medicine
- 1 February 2003
Antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs), which play a major role in the triggering of primary anti viral immune reactions, may also contribute, in some viral models, to the pathogenesis of… Expand
Hepatitis C virus NS5A protein interacts with and negatively regulates the non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase Syk.
- S. Inubushi, M. Nagano-Fujii, +8 authors H. Hotta
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of general virology
- 1 May 2008
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major causative agent of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the precise mechanism underlying the carcinogenesis is yet to be elucidated. It has recently been reported… Expand
CXCL14 Acts as a Specific Carrier of CpG DNA into Dendritic Cells and Activates Toll-like Receptor 9-mediated Adaptive Immunity
- Kosuke Tanegashima, R. Takahashi, +6 authors T. Hara
- Chemistry, Medicine
- EBioMedicine
- 14 September 2017
CXCL14 is a primordial chemokine that plays multiple roles in tumor suppression, autoimmune arthritis, and obesity-associated insulin resistance. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are… Expand
Hepatitis C Virus Impairs p53 via Persistent Overexpression of 3β-Hydroxysterol Δ24-Reductase*
- T. Nishimura, M. Kohara, +12 authors K. Tsukiyama-Kohara
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 27 October 2009
Persistent infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces tumorigenicity in hepatocytes. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying this process, we generated monoclonal antibodies on a… Expand
Major histocompatibility complex class‐I presentation impaired in transgenic mice expressing hepatitis C virus structural proteins during dendritic cell maturation
- Y. Hiasa, H. Takahashi, +6 authors M. Kohara
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of medical virology
- 1 October 2004
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is often persistent, but its mechanism and pathogenesis remain unclear. One mechanism through which HCV escapes systemic immunosurveillance might be via impaired… Expand
Hepatitis C virus infection in human liver tissue engrafted in mice with an infectious molecular clone
