Hepatic hepcidin is a well-known major iron regulator and has been reported to be closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. However, pharmacological targeting of the hepcidin in HCV replication has not been reported. A short-chain fatty acid, 4-Phenyl butyrate (4-PBA), is an acid chemical chaperone that acts as a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) to promote chromosomal histone acetylation. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effect of 4-PBA on hepcidin expression and HCV repl ...[more]
