The expression of OTUD5 and MAVS was inhibited in RAW264.7 cells when OTUD5 was knocked down (P < 0.05).<h4>Conclusion</h4>This study focused on the overexpression of OTUD5 and its interaction with MAVS within macrophage subset 11 in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). This evidence concerns the gene MAVS and biliary liver cirrhosis.
