Human hepatocyte-enriched miRNA-192-3p promotes HBV replication through inhibiting Akt/mTOR signalling by targeting ZNF143 in hepatic cell lines.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have revealed multiple tissue- or cell-specific or enriched miRNA profiles. However, miRNA profiles enriched in hepatic cell types and their effect on HBV replication have not been well elucidated. In this study, primary human hepatocytes (PHHs), Kupffer cells (KCs), liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were prepared from liver specimens of non-HBV-infected patients. Four hepatic cell type-enriched miRNA profiles were identified from purified liver cells miRNA microarray assay. The results revealed that 12 miRNAs, including miR-122-5p and miR-192-3p were PHH-enriched; 9 miRNAs, including miR-142-5p and miR-155-5p were KC-enriched; 6 miRNAs, including miR-126-3p and miR-222-3p were LSEC-enriched; and 14 miRNAs, including miR-214-3p a
