Micro<scp>RNA</scp> profile before and after antiviral therapy in liver transplant recipients for hepatitis <scp>C</scp> virus cirrhosis

Abstract

Samples at recurrence of HCV and after antiviral therapy revealed distinct HCV-related miR expression profiles, with significant dysregulation of those miRNAs potentially targeting mRNAs of HCV receptors. In particular, miR-194 and miR-21 might be involved in the regulation of HCV receptor proteins' expression during HCV infection and antiviral therapy.
