Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global problem. To better understand HCV infection researchers employ in vitro HCV cell-culture (HCVcc) systems that use Huh-7 derived hepatoma cells that are particularly permissive to HCV infection. A variety of hyper-permissive cells have been subcloned for this purpose. In addition, subclones of Huh-7 which have evolved resistance to HCV are available. However, the mechanisms of susceptibility or resistance to infection among these cells have not been fully determined. In order to elucidate mechanisms by which hepatoma cells are susceptible or resistant to HCV infection we performed genome-wide expression analyses of six Huh-7 derived cell cultures (Huh-7, Huh-7.5.1, Huh-7.5.1c2, R1.09, R1.10 and R2.1) R that have different levels of permissiveness to infection. A great number of genes, representing a wide spectrum of functions are differentially expressed between cells. To focus our investigation, we identify host proteins from HCV replicase complexes, perform gene expression analysis of three HCV infected cells (infected Huh-7, Huh-7.5.1 and Huh-7.5.1c2) and conduct a detailed analysis of differentially expressed host factors by integrating a variety of data sources. Our results demonstrate that changes relating to susceptibility to HCV infection in hepatoma cells are linked to the innate immune response, secreted signal peptides and host factors that have a role in virus entry and replication. This work identifies both known and novel host factors that may influence HCV infection. Our findings build upon current knowledge of the complex interplay between HCV and the host cell, which could aid development of new antiviral strategies. Six Huh-7 derived hepatoma cell types that have different levels of susceptibility to HCV infection in cell culture are used: Huh-7, Huh-7.5.1, Huh-7.5.1c2, R1.09, R1.10 and R2.1. Of these the first three (label starting Huh are susceptible to HCV infection and the latter three (label starting R are resistant to HCV infection. All cell types are derived from Huh-7. Huh-7.5.1 is a subclone of Huh-7.5 that in turn is a subclone of Huh-7. Huh-7.5.1c2 is a subclone of Huh-7.5.1. R1.09 and R1.10 are subclones of R1 that is inturn a sublone of Huh-7.5,1. R2.1 is a subclone of Huh-7.5.1.

R2.1 is a subclone of Huh-7.5.1. 39 samples are used. In every case there are 3 biological replicates, i.e., there are 13 unique conditions (39/3=13). These samples are subdivided between two studies: (1) A comparison of HCV infection resistant cells R1.09, R1.10 and R2 against HCV susceptible Huh-7.5.1. (2) A comparison of JFH1 HCV infected Huh-7, Huh-7.5.1 and Huh-7.5.1c2 cells versus their uninfected counterparts. In each case there are two uninfected counterparts, cells that were harvested after being in culture for 20 hours and cells that were harvested at the same time point as the infected cells, that is, at the peak time of infection. Peak times for infection vary between cells, depending on their susceptibility to infection: 168 hours for Huh-7, 120 hours for Huh-7.5.1 and 96 hours for Huh-7.5.1c2.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is primarily treated with a pegylated interferon alpha based therapy, a regime that induces antiviral effects through the upregulation of many interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Whilst a number of anti-HCV ISGs have previously been identified, others may also be involved. Micorarrays were used to validate the presence of ISGs within subtracted libraries generated using the related techniques of suppression subtractive hybridisation and mirror orientation selection, which had initally been impllemented to isolate clones of ISGs following the interferon-alpha treatment of Huh-7 cells. Microarray data was generated for both untreated and interferon-alpha treated Huh-7 cells. No replicates were performed, however the microarray data was verified via the use of non-parametric (spearman) correlation analysis with RT-PCR data that had been generated using the same Huh-7 cell total RNA samples as the microarray experiments earlier.

Project description:Numerous mammalian proto-oncogene and other growth-regulatory transcripts are upregulated in malignancy due to abnormal mRNA stabilization. In hepatoma cells expressing a hepatitis C virus (HCV) subgenomic replicon, we found that the viral nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), a protein known to bind to viral RNA, also bound specifically to human cellular transcripts that encode regulators of cell growth and apoptosis, and this binding correlated with transcript stabilization. An important subset of human NS5A-target transcripts contained GU-rich elements, sequences known to destabilize mRNA. We found that NS5A bound to GU-rich elements in vitro and in cells. Mutation of the NS5A zinc finger abrogated its GU-rich element-binding and mRNA stabilizing activities. Overall, we identified a molecular mechanism whereby HCV manipulates host gene expression by stabilizing host transcripts in a manner that would promote growth and prevent death of virus-infected cells, allowing the virus to establish chronic infection and lead to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver cancer. HCV propagation and oncogenicity depend in part on the phosphorylation states of its non-structural protein 5A (NS5A); however, little is known about how hypo- or hyper-phosphorylated NS5A functions. Here, we segregated hypo- from hyper-phosphorylated NS5A in HCV-infected Huh7.5.1 cells with two custom-made specific antibodies and differentiated their interacting proteins with dimethyl labeling-based quantitative proteomics. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that hyper-phosphorylated NS5A preferentially binds the polymerase II-associated factor 1 complex known to alter host gene expression involved in cancer progression. In contrast, hypo-phosphorylated NS5A binds proteins involved in host antiviral response. Moreover, we found that the hypo-phosphorylated NS5A binds DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) predicted to phosphorylate NS5A at serine 232, a key amino acid that governs NS5A transition from hypo- to hyper-phosphorylation state. Inhibition of DNA-PKcs with an inhibitor or via gene-specific knockdown significantly reduced serine 232 phosphorylation and NS5A hyper-phosphorylation. Collectively, we have identified a protein kinase that regulates a delicate balance of NS5A between hypo- and hyper-phosphorylation states respectively involved in host antiviral responses and liver cancer progression.

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Goal and objectives: To study the requirement of HCV viral proteins and/or environmental factors (such as alcohol or obesity) in synergistic liver caner development in HCV Core or NS5A Tg mice given alcohol or high-cholesterol high-fat diet, mice were fed alcohol or high-cholesterol high-fat diet and liver tissues from these mice were examined for gene profiles. Alcohol or obesity contributes to synergistic tumor incidence and HCV Core or Ns5a-induced effects. Thus, analysis of gene profiling of these transgenic mice will identify the critical pathways to induce synergistic tumor formation caused by alcohol or obesity.

Liver samples for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain gene profiling data in order to increase understanding the pathways. To perform gene array and proteomic analyses, mice were fed alcohol or high-cholesterol high-fat for 12 months and euthanized after 12 months feeding. Livers were collected at the time of euthanasia.
