1 RESULTS: Continuously produced Ach suppressed IFNalpha-induced STAT1 phosphorylation, but increased the level of a protease, USP18 (both measured by Western blot), which interferes with IFNalpha signaling. Acetaldehyde interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Continuously produced Ach suppressed IFNalpha-induced STAT1 phosphorylation, but increased the level of a protease, USP18 (both measured by Western blot), which interferes with IFNalpha signaling. Acetaldehyde interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that Ach disrupts IFNalpha-induced STAT1 phosphorylation by the up-regulation of USP18 to block the innate immunity protection in HCV-infected liver cells, thereby contributing to HCV-alcohol pathogenesis. Acetaldehyde interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
