Core Tip	Innate immune tolerance leads to chronic hepatitis C virus (cHCV) infection as a pro-inflammatory state develops within the liver. The suppression of heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) by HCV plays a major role in perpetuating the infection and inflammation. Ribavirin (RBV) therapy, which increases heme delivery to the liver, can overcome this inhibition. HMOX1 induction in Kupffer cells reduces the pro-inflammatory state produced by HCV, whereas HMOX1 induction in hepatocytes decreases viral multiplication and apoptosis. HMOX1-induced hemolysis in the liver results in higher sustained viral response rates when RBV is used with interferon in the treatment of cHCV.
