Hepatitis B Virus X Protein Reduces Podocyte Adhesion via Downregulation of α3β1 Integrin

Background/Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN) is characterized by a reduced number of podocytes due to apoptosis and shedding from the basement membrane. However, the pathological mechanism of HBV-GN is unclear. We previously showed that hepatitis B virus X protein...
