“By improving STAT1 methylation, SAM can enhance the antiviral effect of IFN-alpha.”
“Combined with IFN-alpha, SAM treatment effectively improved STAT1 methylation and attenuated STAT1-PIAS1 binding, followed by increased PKR and 2',5'-OAS mRNA expression, thus significantly reducing the HBsAg, HBeAg protein levels and HBV DNA load in the supernatant of HepG2.2.15 cells.”
“The potential improvement of S-adenosylmethionine SAM ) in the antiviral effect of IFN-alpha was also investigated.”
