First, we briefly discuss the signaling triggered by the retinoic acid-inducible gene 1-like receptor (RLR) and the Toll-like receptor (TLR), which leads to type I IFN synthesis and IFN-mediated signaling pathway activation, resulting in the expression of a variety of effector ISGs. We also summarize the strategies that HCV uses to escape IFN antiviral surveillance. 156 demonstrated that HCVinduced SG formation is IFN-and PKR-dependent and is inversely correlated with the induction of ISG proteins, such as myxovirus resistance gene A (MxA) and Ub-like (UBL)specific protease 18 (USP18), in HCV-infected cells without affecting the mRNA levels of these ISGs. Furthermore, the SG proteins TIA-1, TIAR and G3BP1 have been shown to play a critical role in HCV replication and infectious virus production. ./cache/cord-343963-99rd3o79.txt ./txt/cord-343963-99rd3o79.txt
