medicine | upon DNA and RNA viral infection, macrophages reduce 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) expression. DHCR7 deficiency or treatment with 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) can specifically promote phosphorylation of IRF3 and enhance type I interferon production in macrophages. Viral infection or 7-DHC treatment enhances AKT3 expression and activation. Deletion of DHCR7 and the DHCR7 inhibitors including AY9944 and the chemotherapy drug tamoxifen promote clearance of Zika virus and multiple viruses in vitro or in vivo | Homo sapiens |
