Hepatitis C Virus Sensitizes Host Cells to TRAIL-Induced Apoptosis by Up-Regulating DR4 and DR5 via a MEK1-Dependent Pathway

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the leading cause of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is believed that continuous liver cell apoptosis contributes to HCV pathogenesis. Recent studies have shown that HCV infection can sensitize host cells to TNF-related apoptosis-indu...
