Hepatitis B virus-mediated changes of apolipoprotein mRNA abundance in cultured hepatoma cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An inverse correlation between hepatitis B virus (HBV) and steady-state levels of apolipoprotein AI and CIII mRNAs was observed in two hepatoma cell lines. Analysis of a third line containing an inducible viral genome implicated viral pregenomic RNA in apolipoprotein mRNA reduction. We conclude that HBV alters infected cells despite the absence of overt cytopathogenicity.

Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Activity of Flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta
Flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta (MCF) were studied for their ability to inhibit the proliferation of 2.2.15 cells. All concentration of MCF inhibited the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg in the cultured medium by 2.2.15 cells. Analysis of morphological changes of MCF-treated cells by phase-contrast microscopy revealed a possible mode of action for MCF: inhibition of proliferation of 2.2.15 cel...
متن کاملIGF-II induced by hepatitis B virus X protein regulates EMT via SUMO mediated loss of E-cadherin in mice
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers and a leading cause of cancer mortality. Prognosis of this disease largely depends on its stage. An Enlarged liver, due to dysplasia, may be a critical point in the multi-step progression to HCC. The mechanism underlying hepatomegaly in human and mouse models are poorly understood. We previously reported we observed enlarged liver...
متن کاملTransfer of hepatitis B virus genome by adenovirus vectors into cultured cells and mice: crossing the species barrier.
For the study of hepatitis B virus infection, no permissive cell line or small animal is available. Stably transfected cell lines and transgenic mice which contain hepadnavirus genomes produce virus, but--unlike in natural infection--from an integrated viral transcription template. To transfer hepadnavirus genomes across the species barrier, we developed adenovirus vectors in which 1.3-fold-ove...
متن کاملInhibition of internal entry site (IRES)-mediated translation by a small yeast RNA: a novel strategy to block hepatitis C virus protein synthesis.
The observation that poliovirus mRNA is not translated in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has led to the discovery of a small RNA (60 nt, called IRNA, inhibitor RNA) which was later shown to specifically inhibit internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated translation of naturally uncapped mRNAs. Translation of cellular capped mRNAs was not significantly inhibited by IRNA. IRNA also specific...
متن کاملSuppressive effects of destruxin B on hepatitis B virus surface antigen gene expression in human hepatoma cells.
Destruxin B, a cyclodepsipeptide was originally identified as a plant pathogen from the fungus, Alternaria brassicae. We examined the antiviral activity of destruxin B and found that it suppresses the expression of the hepatitis B viral surface antigen (HBsAg) gene in human hepatoma Hep3B cells which carry an integrated viral gene in its chromosome. In contrast, destruxin B shows no cytotoxic e...
