Effect of zinc chelation in Caco-2 cells


ABSTRACT: To identify the molecular pathways that are perturbed due to transient zinc chelation Zinc is known to regulate the functions of about 10% of the human proteome and a large number of physiological processes that are zinc dependent have been identified and characterized under conditions of zinc deficiency and supplementation. As zinc homeostasis is closely linked to the normal functioning of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, many pathogens are directly or indirectly affected by perturbations in zinc homeostasis. Dengue virus (DENV), a mosquito-borne, positive-strand RNA virus from the family Flaviviridae, has emerged as one of the major public health concerns in India and recent estimates suggest that over 60 million people globally get infected with DENV every year. The crystal structures of NS5 protein of DENV and West Nile virus have identified zinc binding site in RdRp domain and propose an important structural role for zinc ions in polymerase activity. Therefore, we investigated whether perturbation in intracellular zinc pools influence dengue infection. We utilized N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (TPEN), a zinc-specific chelator, to mimic zinc-deficiency in cell culture models of infection and investigated the effect of zinc depletion on DENV life-cycle.
