Project description:Objective: Curing hepatitis B requires the complete elimination of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). Interferon (IFN)-γ is produced by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and has noncytolytic antiviral potential; however, elimination of cccDNA could not be achieved. To enhance the regulatory effect of IFN-γ, we comprehensively analyzed the host factors that associated with cccDNA amplification and IFN-γ effects using the in vitro HBV infection system that exhibits various transcription levels. Design: Primary human hepatocytes were infected with HBV using genomic plasmids carrying the basic core promoter 1762/1764 and/or the precore 1896 mutation and treated with IFN-γ, IFN-α, and entecavir. Comprehensive expression analysis and functional studies were performed to analyze the host factors related to the cccDNA regulation using RNA microarray and siRNA analysis. Results: HBV infection system accurately reproduced the HBV life cycle and exhibited various transcription levels. Microarray analysis revealed that 53 genes increased depending on the cccDNA levels. Of 53 genes, the expression of IFN-induced protein 44-like (IFI44L) was the most upregulated by IFN-γ and IFN-α but not entecavir, and associated with the anti-viral effects of IFN-γ. siRNA analysis revealed that IFI44L negatively regulates the innate immune response and IFN-γ function to suppress HBV transcription and propagation by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and STAT1 pathways.

Project description:Our aim was to classify and quantify transcripts identified in 24-h-cultured primary duck hepatocytes and construct a protein–protein interaction network to serve as a reference for host factors associated with hepadnavirus infection. Methods: The transcriptome of 24h-cultured PDHs was analyzed by the pair-end sequencing on the Illumina Solexa platform. High-quality reads were mapped to the Anas platyrhynchos genome with TopHat v2.0.12 software. TopHat allows multiple alignments per read and default parameters were used. Cufflinks v2.2.1 software was later used for analyses that included transcript assembly and FPKM value calculations to quantify gene expression; this program was also run with default parameters. Results: A total of 87.8 million high-quality reads were obtained from three primary duck hepatocyte samples isolated from three separate 1-day-old Anas domesticus ducklings. The reads (mean length 92.21 bases) were mapped to the Anas platyrhynchos genome. A total of 13,541 genes with > 1 fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads values were expressed in the 24-h-cultured primary duck hepatocyte samples.Using gene ontology analysis, expressed genes were assigned to functional categories. A total of 182 genes expressed in all three separate primary duck hepatocyte samples were identified as liver-specific genes. Conclusions: Transcriptome and gene ontology analyses of 24-h-cultured primary duck hepatocytes indicate that these cells retain hepatocyte-specific biological characteristics and can be used as a model system for hepadnavirus infection. A novel protein–protein interaction network suggests that host factors regulating or inhibiting innate immunity are directly associated with hepadnavirus. The transcriptome of 24h-cultured PDHs was analyzed by the paired-end sequencing on the Illumina Solexa platform.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can result in viral chronicity or clearance. Although host genetics and particularly genetic variation in the interferon lambda (IFNL) locus are associated with spontaneous HCV clearance and treatment success, the mechanisms guiding these clinical outcomes remain unknown. Using a laser capture microdissection-driven unbiased systems virology approach, we isolated and transcriptionally profiled HCV-infected and adjacent primary human hepatocytes (PHH) approaching single cell resolution. An innate antiviral immune signature dominated the transcriptional response, but differed in magnitude and diversity between HCV-infected and adjacent cells. Molecular signatures associated with more effective antiviral control were determined by comparing donors with high and low infection frequencies. Cells from donors with clinically unfavorable IFNL genotypes were infected at a greater frequency and exhibited dampened antiviral and cell death responses. These data suggest that early virus-host interactions, particularly host genetics and induction of innate immunity, critically determine the outcome of HCV infection.

Cell populations of primary human hepatocytes were collected via laser capture microdissection, their transcriptomes were amplified and analyzed via whole Illumina genome microarray. Three populations were collected: virus infected cells, cells adjacent to infected cells (“adjacent”) and mock infected cells. Cells from multiple donors were employed to address host genetic variability on our observed phenotypes. Nine different donors were assessed on 1-day post infection and three donors were assessed 3 days post infection and and four donors were assessed on 7 days post infection. For each cell population (virus infected, adjacent or mock), four biological replicate arrays were performed. In total, we analyzed 186 microarrays

Project description:Current culture systems available for studying hepatitis D virus (HDV) are suboptimal. In this study, we demonstrate that hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are fully permissive to HDV infection across various tested genotypes. When co- infected with the helper hepatitis B virus (HBV) or transduced to express the HBV envelope protein HBsAg, HLCs effectively release infectious progeny virions. We also show that HLCs expressing HBsAg support extracellular spread of HDV, thus providing a valuable platform for testing available anti-HDV regimens. By challenging the cells along the differentiation with HDV infection, we have identified CD63 as a potential HDV/HBV co-entry factor, which was rate-limiting HDV infection in immature hepatocytes. Given their renewable source and the potential to derive hPSCs from individual patients, we propose HLCs as a promising model for investigating HDV biology. Our findings offer new insights into HDV infection and expand the repertoire of research tools available for the development of therapeutic interventions.
