Notch signaling contributes to liver inflammation by regulation of interleukin-22-producing cells in hepatitis B virus infection

The mechanism of hepatitis B virus (HBV) induced liver inflammation is not fully elucidated. Notch signaling augmented IL-22 secretion in CD4+ T cells, and Notch-IL-22 axis fine-tuned inflammatory response. We previously demonstrated a proinflammatory role of interleukin (IL)-22 in HBV infection. Th...
