The invention relates to application of an
extracellular matrix
protein 1 in preparation of a
medicine for treating HBV infection, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. The invention provides application of an
extracellular matrix
protein 1 and / or an
extracellular matrix
protein 1
accelerant in preparation of drugs for preventing and / or treating HBV infection and related diseases caused by HBV infection. Experiments show that the intrahepatic overexpression
extracellular matrix protein 1 can significantly reduce the level of
HBsAg and
HBeAg in an HBV mouse body and promote the generation of HBsAb in the HBV mouse body; meanwhile, the levels of
HBsAg and
HBeAg in the HBV mouse can also be remarkably reduced by utilizing the expression of the
extracellular matrix protein 1 in the hepatic stellate cells of the HBV mouse and the exogenous supplement of the
extracellular matrix protein 1 to the HBV mouse through the adeno-associated
virus. Therefore, the extracellular matrix protein 1 can effectively promote the removal of HBV, and provides higher possibility for functional healing of HBV infection.
