Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out in Huh-7.5 cells in which miR-27a was over- or under-expressed. Transfection of cells with pre-miR-27a and pre-miR-control, or anti-miR-27a and anti-miR-control enabled down- and up-regulated genes to be determined, respectively. Replication and infectivity of the lipotrophic hepatitis C virus (HCV) is regulated by cellular lipid status. Among differentially expressed micro (mi)RNAs, we found that miR-27a was preferentially expressed in HCV-infected compared with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected liver. Gene expression profiling of Huh-7.5 cells showed that miR-27a regulates lipid metabolism by targeting the lipid synthetic transcriptional factor, RXRα, and the lipid transporter, ABCA1 Carrying out a Target Scan (Release 5.2) of miR-27a predicted 921 candidate target genes, and functional gene ontology enrichment analysis of these genes by MetaCore (Thomson Reuters, NY) showed that miR-27a could target the signaling pathways of cytoskeleton remodeling and lipid metabolism . To examine whether these signaling pathways were regulated by miR-27a, gene expression profiling was carried out in Huh-7.5 cells in which miR-27a was over- or under-expressed. Transfection of cells with pre-miR-27a and pre-miR-control, or anti-miR-27a and anti-miR-control enabled down- and up-regulated genes to be determined, respectively.

Project description:The liver-specific microRNA, miR-122, is an essential host factor for replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important infectious cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. miR-122 stabilizes the positive-strand HCV RNA genome and promotes viral RNA synthesis by binding two closely spaced sites (S1 and S2) near the 5’ end of the genome in association with Ago2. Ago2 is essential for both host factor activities, but whether other host proteins are involved is unknown. Using a quantitative proteomics approach, we identified TNRC6A (GW182) and its paralogs (TNRC6B and TNRC6C), as functionally important components of the miR-122/Ago2 host factor complex binding HCV RNA. Depletion of any two TNRC6 proteins reduced HCV replication in Huh-7.5 cells,but did not reduce viral RNA stability or translational activity, but rather dampened miR-122 stimulation of viral RNA synthesis. However, TNRC6 depletion had no effect on replication of HCV in which S2 was mutated so that miR-122 binds only S1, whereas it significantly enhanced replication when S1 was mutated and only S2 bound by miR-122. Consistent with this, we found that TNRC6 proteins preferentially associate with the S1 site, and that the association of Ago2 with S2 is increased in TNRC6-depleted cells. Collectively, these data suggest a model in which TNRC6 proteins, which are known to interact with Ago2, preferentially direct the miR-122/Ago2 complex to S1 while restricting its association with S2, thereby fine tuning the spatial organization of miR-122/Ago2 complexes bound to the viral RNA.

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.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem. A number of studies have implicated a direct role of cellular lipid metabolism in the HCV life cycle and inhibitors of the mevalonate pathway have been demonstrated to result in an antiviral state within the host cell. Transcriptome profiling was also conducted on Huh-7 human hepatoma cells bearing subgenomic HCV replicons with and without treatment with 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), an inhibitor of the mevalonate pathway that alters lipid metabolism, to assess metabolic determinants of pro- and antiviral states within the host cell.

Project description:Despite the introduction of effective treatments for hepatitis C in clinics, issues remain regarding the liver diseases induced by chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCV is known to disturb the metabolism of infected cells, especially lipid metabolism and redox balance, but the mechanisms leading to HCV-induced pathogenesis are still poorly understood. In an APEX2-based proximity biotinylation screen, we identified ACBD5, a peroxisome membrane protein, as located in the vicinity of HCV replication complexes. Confocal microscopy confirmed the relocation of peroxisomes near HCV replication complexes and indicated that their morphology and number are altered in approximately 30% of infected Huh-7 cells. Peroxisomes are small versatile organelles involved among other functions in lipid metabolism and ROS regulation. To determine their importance in the HCV life cycle, we generated Huh-7 cells devoid of peroxisomes by inactivating the PEX5 and PEX3 genes using CRISPR/Cas9 and found that the absence of peroxisomes had no impact on replication kinetics or infectious titers of HCV strains JFH1 and DBN3a. The impact of HCV on peroxisomal functions was assessed using sub-genomic replicons. An increase of ROS was measured in peroxisomes of replicon-containing cells, and this increase was more pronounced than in mitochondria or the cytosol, suggesting that the redox balance of peroxisomes is specifically impaired in cells replicating HCV. Our study provides evidence that peroxisome function and morphology are altered in HCV-infected cells.

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:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 75% of primary liver cancer, ranking seventh in the incidence rate of tumors worldwide, and second in the mortality rate of tumors. The 5-year survival rate after radical surgery is only 59%-68%, and due to the influence of proliferation, invasion, microvascular infiltration and inflammatory environment of hepatocellular carcinoma, Recurrence is still possible after surgical resection, local ablative therapy or liver transplantation. Systemic antitumor therapy can control disease progression and prolong patient survival, and a variety of kinase inhibitors are used in patients who cannot undergo surgery. However, due to the existence of acquired drug resistance to multikinase inhibitors, its effect is not good. Platinum-based FOLFOX4 is recommended, but its efficacy is limited by drug resistance. miR-27a-3p, located in the short arm of chromosome 19, has been found to be involved in inhibiting the activity, proliferation, angiogenesis, and invasion of liver cancer. Other studies have found that miR-27a-3p regulates the sensitivity of tumors (esophageal cancer and breast cancer) to Cisplatin by regulating the apoptosis of the Bcl-2 protein family. The cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotic-antimitotic solution. The HCC cell line Huh-7 was transfected using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent following the manufacturer’s protocol and incubated for 48h for further analysis. The gene expression profiles were analyzed of Huh-7 cells transfected with miR-27a-3p mimics or NC to assess effect of miR-27a-3p on Cisplatin sensitivity of HCC.

Project description:All major types of interferon (IFN) efficiently inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, HCV replication is not sensitive to IFN? in the hepatoma cell line Huh6, despite an intact signaling pathway. We performed transcriptome analyses between Huh6 and Huh-7 to identify effector genes of the IFN? response and thereby identified the DExD/H box helicase DDX60L as a restriction factor of HCV replication. DDX60L and its homolog DDX60 were both induced upon viral infection and IFN treatment in primary human hepatocytes. However, exclusively DDX60L knockdown increased HCV replication in Huh-7 cells, and rescued HCV replication from type II IFN as well as type I and III IFN treatment, suggesting that DDX60L is an important effector protein of the innate immune response against HCV. DDX60L had no impact on replication of hepatitis A virus (HAV), but severely impaired production of lentiviral vectors, arguing for a potential antiretroviral activity. Detection of endogenous DDX60L protein turned out to be difficult due to instability. DDX60L knockdown did not alter interferon stimulated gene (ISG) induction after IFN treatment, suggesting that it is a direct effector of the innate immune response. It most likely inhibits viral RNA replication, since we found no impact of DDX60L on translation or stability of HCV subgenomic replicons, nor additional impact on entry and assembly of infectious virus. Similar to its homolog DDX60, DDX60L had a moderate impact on retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-dependent activation of innate immunity arguing for additional functions in the sensing of viral RNA. Gene Expression was compared between two cell lines, Huh6 and Huh7, under interferon-gamma or interferon-alpha treatment. We intended to identify genes that are more strongly upregulated in Huh-7 than in Huh6 in response to interferon treatment.

Project description:Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects human liver hepatocytes, often leading to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is believed that chronic infection alters host gene expression and favours HCC development. In particular, HCV replication in Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) derived membranes induces chronic ER stress. How HCV replication affects host mRNA translation and transcription at a genome wide level is not yet known. Methods: We used Riboseq (Ribosome Profiling) to analyze transcriptome and translatome changes in Huh-7.5 hepatoma cells replicating HCV for 6 days. Results: Established viral replication does not cause global changes in host gene expression - only around 30 genes are differentially expressed. Upregulated genes are related to ER stress, HCV replication and HCC development. Some mRNAs (PPP1R15A/GADD34, DDIT3/CHOP, TRIB3) may be subject to uORF mediated translation control in response to stress-induced eIF2 inactivation. Transcriptional downregulation mainly affects mitochondrial respiratory chain complex genes. Conclusion: After establishing HCV replication, cellular gene expression is reprogrammed towards stress response and HCC development. Downregulation of mitochondrial respiratory chain genes indicates how a virus induces cancer cell-like metabolic reprogramming ("Warburg effect"). Thus, HCV escapes stress response pathways but induces selective gene expression changes which likely are beneficial for chronic infection and cancerogenesis.
