Human Reoviruses Serotype 3 Effectively Target Huh-7 Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Abstract: Background and Aims: Huh-7 is a cell line that was derived from a liver tumor of a Japanese man. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered as a primary liver cancer. Highly resistant tumor to treatment which causes the death of many patients annually. Thus, targeting the cancer cells by using a new method could be effective in therapy of this cancer. Reoviruses are oncolytic viruses that can infect and kill tumor cells, which have an activated Ras signaling pathways, while normal cells are resistant to infection and replication of these viruses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oncolytic human reovirus on Huh-7 cell line in vitro. Materials and Methods: Human reovirus serotype 3, Huh-7 cell line and normal human fibroblasts were used in this study. After virus purification and plaque assay, human reoviruses were inoculated into the Huh-7 cells and human normal fibroblasts as negative control. Virus cytopathic effect, cell viability and viral RNA replication were assessed at the different time of post-infection. Results: Virus cytopathic effects and cell lysis were clearly observed and reovirus RNA replication was detected in the Huh-7 cells, whereas normal human fibroblasts were resistant against reovirus infection. Conclusion: The result of the present study showed that human reoviruses serotype 3 can destroy the Huh-7 cells. Accordingly, the use of human reovirus could be considered as a potential therapy for HCC and liver cancer.

The ClC-3 chloride channel promotes acidification of lysosomes in CHO-K1 and Huh-7 cells.
ClC-3 is a voltage-gated Cl- channel that is highly conserved and widely expressed, although its function, localization, and properties remain a matter of considerable debate. In this study, we have shown that heterologous expression of ClC-3 in either Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) or human hepatoma (Huh-7) cells results in the formation of large, acidic vesicular structures within cells. Vesi...

A series of 1-aryl-3-isopropylamino-1-propanone hydrochlorides 1 and a related heterocyclic analog 2 as candidate antineoplastic agents were prepared and the rationale for designing these compounds is presented. A specific objective in this study is the discovery of novel compounds possessing growth-inhibiting properties of hepatoma cells. The compounds in series 1 and 2 were prepared and their...
متن کاملApigenin Sensitizes Huh-7 Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells to TRAIL-induced Apoptosis
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising agent for management of cancer because of its selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells. However, some cancer cells have resistance to TRAIL. Accordingly, novel treatment strategies are required to overcome TRAIL resistance. Here, we examined the synergistic apoptotic effect of apigenin in combination with TRAIL in Huh-7 cells. We found ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute an important class of non-coding RNA implicated in gene expression regulation. More than 1900 miRNA molecules have been identified in humans and their modulation during viral infection and it is recognized to play a role in latency regulation or in establishing an antiviral state. The liver cells are targets during DENV infection, and alteration of liver functions ...

Human hepatoma cells may represent a valuable alternative to the use of human hepatocytes for studying hepatic drug transporters, which is now a regulatory issue during drug development. In the present work, we have characterized hepatic drug transporter expression, activity and regulation in human hepatoma HuH-7 cells, in order to determine the potential relevance of these cells for drug trans...
