摘要:
目的本研究拟探讨HCV非结构蛋白5A(NS5A)对HIV长末端重复序列(long terminal repeat,LTR)影响,从而为HCV对HIV的影响提供实验依据。方法将构建的LTR启动子驱动的荧光素酶(Luc)报告基因表达质粒(pGL3-LTR-Luc)和含HCV NS5A基因的表达质粒pCNS5A共转染肝癌细胞株(Huh7细胞),采用免疫细胞化学技术、Western Blot及逆转录聚合酶链反应检测HCV NS5A蛋白及mRNA的表达;本实验分三组,将质粒pGL3-LTR-Luc(空白组)、质粒pRc/CMV+pGL3-LTR-Luc(对照组)、质粒pCNS5A+pGL3-LTR-Luc(实验组)分别转染Huh7细胞,48 h后收集细胞,采用Luc活性检测LTR的活性,以观察HCV NS5A对LTR的调控影响。所得荧光活性值以均数±标准差表示,采用Levene’s方差齐性检验,多组间比较采用单因素方差分析,两两比较行LSD-t检验。结果转染pcNS5A质粒的Huh7细胞质经RT-PCR及Western Blot检测,HCV NS5A mRNA及蛋白在细胞中获得表达。方差分析结果...

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of nonstructural protein 5A ( NS5A) encoded by the human hepatitis C virus ( HCV) RNA genome on human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV) long terminal repeat ( LTR) and to provide an experimental basis for the study on the effect of HCV on HIV. Methods Hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells were divided into blank group, control group, and experimental group to be transfected with plasmid pGL3- LTR- Luc ( containing luciferase reporter gene driven by the LTR promoter) , plasmid pRc / CMV plus plasmid pGL3- LTR- Luc, and plasmid pCNS5A ( containing HCV NS5A gene) plus plasmid pGL3- LTR- Luc, respectively; Huh7 cells were collected 48 h later. The protein and mRNA expression levels of HCV NS5A were measured by immunocytochemistry, Western blot, and RT- PCR. The relative luciferase activity was measured to evaluate the HIV LTR activity and the effect of HCV NS5A on HIV LTR. The activity values were expressed as mean ± SD, and Levene' s test of homogeneity of variance was used; comparison between all groups was made by one- way analysis of variance ( ANOVA) , and comparison between two groups was made by least significant difference ( LSD) test. Results The mRNA and protein expression of HCV NS5A was detected in the cytoplasm of Huh7 cells in experimental group. The one- way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in LTR luciferase activity between the three groups ( F = 7. 876, P = 0. 002) . The LSD test showed that the experimental group had a significantly higher relative luciferase activity than the blank group and control group ( 22476 ± 4471 vs 15887 ± 3039, P = 0. 002; 22476 ± 4471 vs 16321 ± 4162, P = 0. 008) . Conclusion Huh7 cells can be transfected with the HCV NS5A expression plasmid ( pCNS5A) . HCV NS5A can activate HIV LTR, which suggests that HCV NS5A may be one of the molecular mechanisms of HCV promoting HIV replication.
