miR-199a-3p and hepatitis C virus infection. miR-199a-3p shows antiviral activity by directly interacting with HCV RNA and by inhibiting its replication, which increases the chance of a sustained viral response to antiviral treatment. miR-199a-3p might also exert an indirect inhibition of HCV via signaling pathways, as it were reported for other viruses. How this relates to the fact that HCV stimulates miR-199a-3p expression remains to be shown
