Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reducing the risk and treatment of hepatitis C, some scientists suggested.
Green tea is a precious drink that processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, inducing "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weakened immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.
Hepatitis C is a medical condition induced by contaminated food intake containing the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C has been found to associate with severe liver damage.
According to statistics, approximately 130–150 million people around the world are living with chronic HCV.
Green tea bioactive polyphenols Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in reduced risk and treatment of hepatitis was found to associate a number of implications through various aspects.
In Huh7.5.1 cells, an HCV cell culture (HCVcc) system using a JFH1-GFP chimeric virus, application of green tea EGCG with 50 % effective concentration (EC(50)) of 17.9 μM demonstrated a strong effect in interrupted HCV progression through monitoring HCV RNA and protein levels in Huh7.5.1 cells infected with the JFH1 virus by preventing the mRNA in transferring infectious cell transcription in facilitated cell proliferation and division.
Importantly, injection of green tea at doses of 50 and 25 μM EGCG, expressed a significant inhibition of the presence of HCV after 2 and 5 passages in HCV cell culture (HCVcc) experiment, using an American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) reference strain, with little effect to the viral internal ribosome entry site (IRES) in initiated substitution of RNA sequences for viral protein synthesis in shutting off classic host translation to evade host immune response.
Notably, in comparison to the effect of green tea with potent anti-HCV activity
medicine, cyclosporin A and tamoxifen, researchers indicated that application of green tea showed a strong anti-HCV viral activity, similar to those of anti-hepatitis medicine through its antioxidant expression of flavonoids epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and 7,8-benzoflavone (α-naphthoflavone), observed in HCV cell culture (HCVcc) by blocking the entry point of the virus in initiated infection to host cells and stimulating the viral cell cycle arrest at the late stage of HCV life cycle, respectively
Interestingly, some researchers in the evaluation of green tea polyphenols (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in hepatitis C infection suggested that EGCG processed anti-viral expression through interrupting the cross-link between HCV life cycle involving steps of entry, replication.
Injection of a concentration of 50 μM of EGCG was found to inhibit HCV infectivity by more than 90% at an early step of the viral life cycle.
Indeed, the interrupted property in blocking the HCV entry cycle to induce infection to the host cell was confirmed with HCV pseudo particles, an experimental model system in the expression of cellular attachment which is the essential component of the HCV entry process.
Moreover, green tea EGCG also prevented attachment of the virus to the cell surface in ameliorated HCV infection to the host cell without affecting viral replication and virion secretion outside of the host.
Taken together, green tea and its bioactive polyphenols EGCG may be considered as a functional food with reduced risk and combined with other standard medicine for the treatment of hepatitis C virus in the induction of acute and chronic liver diseases.
