Project description:In hepatocyte nuclei, hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes occur episomally as covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). The HBV X protein (HBx) is required to initiate and maintain HBV replication and acts as host gene trans-regulator. However, functionally relevant spatiotemporal localization and interactions of cccDNA and HBx remain to be understood. This is the first study utilizing circularized chromosome conformation capture (4C) to identify regional virus-host genome interactions. We combined 4C with RNA-seq and ChIP-seq to illuminate the nuclear landscape associated with HBV episomes and HBx. Moreover, we functionally studied HBx-binding to episomal HBV DNA. In human HBV-positive HepaRG hepatocytes, 4C and ChIP revealed specific nuclear localization of HBV episomes and HBx associated with actively transcribed nuclear domains correlating well in size with constrained topological units built up by chromatin fibre loops, which are believed to constitute fundamental cell nuclear architectural units. Interestingly, HBx alone occupied transcribed chromatin domains, and its binding to HBV episomes depended on its C-terminus in vitro. In conclusion, HBx and HBV DNA similarly follow higher-order nuclear assembly patterns, specifically favoring transcriptionally active nuclear compartments. These novel observations may shed light on important unsolved problems: to understand the long-term episomal stability and the facilitation of viral persistence.

Project description:Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) remains a major public health problem, and is a major cause liver cancer worldwide. HBV infection in vivo requires the function of the HBx protein, which facilitates expression of viral genes from the episomal genome by an unknown mechanism. Evidence suggests that HBx functions as a targeting subunit for the CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase, redirecting the complex to target and degrade an unknown host restriction factor. We used substrate trapping proteomics to search for ubiquitylation substrates of HBx. We used MLN4924 to block CRL activity and stabilize interactions between HBx and its substrates. We then performed APMS to identify bound proteins and potential substrates.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been clearly recognized as an etiological factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBV encodes the potentially oncogenic HBx protein. We aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of HCC caused by HBx and to discover the biomarker related to HCC by HBx. Three experimental groups, 3, 9 and 13 month aged HBx Tg mice and age matched normal wild type B6 mouse which have same background of HBx Tg mice were used to find differentially expressed genes during HCC. Keywords: Genetic modification 3-month-old, 9-month-old, 13-month-old wild type B6 mice vs 3-month-old, 9-month-old, 13-month-old HBx transfected mice; Biological replicates at each timepoint; 9 controls vs 9 HBx-mice

Project description:In large cohort studies, several HBx mutants were identified as independent risk factors for HCC risk.In order to study the carcinogenic mechanism between different mutants, HeLa cell lines expressing wild type and different mutated HBx proteins were constructed. We used microarrays to describe gene expression in HeLa cells stably expressing the wild-type HBx and the four mutant HBx, and to identify distinct classes of up-regulated genes.
