Alteration of microRNA profiles by a novel inhibitor of human La protein in HBV-transformed human hepatoma cells.

ABSTRACT: A pyrazolopyridine HBSC11 was previously identified as a novel inhibitor of human La protein with anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity. However, the underlying mechanism(s) of HBV inhibition by HBSC11 remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the regulation of microRNA (miRNA) by HBSC11 in HBV-transformed human hepatoma HepG2.2.15 cells using microarray and quantitative real-time PCR. Target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted and subjected to bioinformatics analysis. Results showed that HBSC11 significantly upregulated the expression of miR-3912-5p, miR-6793-5p, and miR-7159-5p in HepG2.2.15 cells. Target genes of the three miRNAs were mainly involved in the regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription, negative regulation of gene expression, nucleic acid binding transcription factor activity and regulation of phosphorylation. In addition, target genes were enriched in certain regulatory pathways related to HBV infection and HBV-associated disease progression, such as the transforming growth factor (TGF)-?, Wnt, and p53 signaling. Our study demonstrates the involvement of miR-3912-5p, miR-6793-5p, and miR-7159-5p and the potential modulation of specific pathways (TGF-?, Wnt, and p53 signaling) in HBSC11-mediated inhibition of HBV replication. This study provides insight into the molecular mechanism of the action of HBSC11 against HBV infection and will support the development of antiviral drugs targeting La protein.

Project description:BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma closely related to metabolic disorders is a common and aggressive liver malignancy. The dysregulation of bile acid homeostasis has emerged as a key factor for the development and progression of HCC. We aimed to investigate the relationship between bile acids and HCC diagnosis and progression.MethodsA total of 744 HBV-related patients (including 396 HCC patients and 348 patients with chronic liver diseases) were enrolled in the current study. The baseline characteristics of patients were collected from electronic medical records, and the levels of bile acid profiles were determined by LC-MS/MS. Propensity score matching analysis was conducted to reduce the effect of selection bias, and receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical application values of bile acid.ResultsSignificant differences were observed for most characteristics between the HCC group and the CLD group before PSM analysis. Patients with HCC were older and fatter (p < 0.05). After adjusting with a 1:1 ratio for age, gender and BMI, 42 HCC patients and 42 non-HCC patients were matched in 2 groups, respectively. The total bile acid level in HCC patients was lower than that in patients with chronic liver diseases before and after PSM analysis (p < 0.05). However, patients with HCC had significantly higher levels of DCA, LCA, and GLCA and lower levels of TCDCA, GUDCA, and TUDCA (p < 0.05, respectively). Besides, the TCDCA, TUDCA, GLCA, and GUDCA were significantly correlated with tumor procession. Moreover, the BAs profiles had a superior predictive ability for predicting the development of HCC even in patients with low serum AFP levels.ConclusionPatients with HCC had significantly lower levels of total bile acid, but higher levels of secondary bile acids (DCA, LCA, and GLCA). The levels of primary bile acid (TCDCA) were closely related to tumor size and stage, which indicated that the bile acids were involved in the HCC procession and had important clinical application values.
