Core Tip	In this study, we observed that cytokeratin 8 (CK8) levels are elevated in hepatitis C virus (HCV) cell culture system and its ectopic expression decreased the proliferation and induced apoptosis of SMMC7721 cells. CK8 up-regulation might have a functional role in HCV infection and pathogenesis, and could be a promising target for the treatment of HCV infection.
