Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a unique hepatotropic DNA virus that forms covalently closed circular DNA within the nucleus of hepatocytes and can partially integrate into the host genome, establishing the molecular basis for persistent viral infection. HBV infection and replication depends on multiple hepatocyte-enriched host factors and is modulated by the hepatic microenvironment. The host achieves natural control and clearance of HBV through various mechanisms, including cytolytic elimination mediated by cellular immunity such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, innate immunity and noncytolytic clearance driven by interferons and various cytokines, and antibody-mediated protection and clearance as part of humoral immune response. In addition, intracellular restriction factors and pathways, hepatocyte turnover through division and replacement, and changes in the hepatic microenvironment (such as the increase in matrix stiffness) collectively influence the efficiency and outcome of viral control and clearance. This article clarifies and elaborates on related mechanisms, so as to deepen the understanding of HBV chronicity, spontaneous resolution, and cure and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical management and developing novel therapeutic strategies.

Aim To investigate the effect of BMS- 345541 on the repair of DNA DSBs induced by VP-16 in AML cells and its possible mechanism. Methods The effects of BMS-345541 on the sensitivity of AML cells to VP-16 were determined by MTT. Flow cytome-try ( FCM) was applied to test the level of DNA dam-age, cell cycle progression and apoptosis in AML cells. High content analysis ( HCA) was used to verify the amount ofγ-H2AX,p-ATM,RAD51 in AML cells. Results BMS-345541 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of AML cells induced by VP-16 . BMS- <br> 345541 increased the amount of RAD51 foci and p-ATM foci in AML cells treated with VP-16 after 6 hours , which led to increased numbers of cells in the G2/M phases of the cell cycle,then induced apoptotic cell death. Conclusion BMS-345541 sensitizes AML cells to VP-16 via selective inhibition of homologous recombinational repair of DNA double-strand breaks.
