丙型肝炎病毒(׳)是全球主要的健康负担,全球约有2-3%的丙型肝炎病毒感染者为S。持续感染可导致肝硬变和肝细胞癌。最近可用的治疗方案显示了病毒清除的增强效果,但与耐药性和显著的副作用有关。这需要进一步研究对病毒蛋白及其病理生理学的基本了解。丙型肝炎病毒p7蛋白是构成离子通道的完整膜蛋白。P7在丙型肝炎病毒生命周期中的作用目前尚不确定,但迄今为止进行的大多数研究都强调了它在病毒组装过程中的作用。本综述的目的是对研究p7的文献、其结构和功能细节进行综述,并总结迄今为止关于潜在的抗p7化合物的研究进展。对这种蛋白质的更好理解可能会导致开发一种新的有效治疗方法。本文对有关丙型肝炎病毒的文献进行了综述。内容侧重于p7的结构和功能细节。我们总结了到目前为止关于潜在的抗p7化合物的研究进展。
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major global health burden with 2–3% of the world׳s population being chronically infected. Persistent infection can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Recently available treatment options show enhanced efficacy of virus clearance, but are associated with resistance and significant side effects. This warrants further research into the basic understanding of viral proteins and their pathophysiology. The p7 protein of HCV is an integral membrane protein that forms an ion-channel. The role of p7 in the HCV life cycle is presently uncertain, but most of the research performed to date highlights its role in the virus assembly process. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the literature investigating p7, its structural and functional details, and to summarize the developments to date regarding potential anti-p7 compounds. A better understanding of this protein may lead to development of a new and effective therapy. This review paper provides an overview of the literature investigating HCV. The content focuses on p7 structural and functional details. We summarize the developments to date regarding potential anti-p7 compounds.
