Description
Summary:As a global disease, hepatitis B still threatens human health. However, the pathogenesis of hepatitis caused by HBV remains unclear. The innate immune system in the liver can detect HBV infection and use every strategy to eliminate the virus. DNA recognition receptors play an important role in this process; they recognize HBV DNA or pgRNA in cytoplasm or nucleus, activate innate immunity through various signaling pathways to produce inflammatory cytokines and interferon, and finally exert their antiviral effect. This article summarizes the DNA recognition receptors involved in inflammation induced by HBV and HBV clearance, elaborates on their detailed pathways, and discusses the issues regarding the role of DNA recognition receptors in liver innate immunity induced by HBV and related perspectives.
