背景 MicroRNAs (miRNAs ) 是调停的 18-25 核苷酸(nt ) 的高度保存的小非编码的 RNA post-transcriptional 基因规定。肝炎 B 病毒(HBV ) 能引起尖锐或长期的肝炎 B,并且是为肝肝硬化和 hepatocellular 癌的一个高风险因素。一些哺乳动物的病毒被显示了调制表示招待细胞的 miRNAs。然而,在 HBV 之间的相互作用和主人细胞的 miRNAs 大部分是未知的。方法 miRNA microarray 和北弄污分析被用来比较稳定的表示 HBV 房间行 HepG2.2.15 和它的父母房间行 HepG2 的细胞的 miRNAs 的表示侧面。mRNA microarray 试金和人权保护的节目被用来预言 miRNA 目标。流动 cytometric 试金进一步被用来调查人的白血球的表示抗原(HLA ) A。结果十八 miRNAs 是在二房间行之间表示的差别。在他们之中,十一是起来调整的,七在 HepG2.2.15 房间是下面调整的。北弄污分析证实 miR-181a, miR-181b, miR-200b 和 miR-146a 的表示是起来调整的, miR-15a 的表示是下面调整的,它在与 microarray 分析的结果一致。而且,一些通常认为的 miRNA 目标被预言并且验证了与 mRNA 表示被连接。HLA 的 3'-UTR -- 基因为 miR-181a 和 miR-181a 力量下面调整有一个部分互补的地点 HLA 的表示 -- 一。结论 HBV 复制调制表达式招待细胞的 miRNAs,它可以在 HBV 相关的肝疾病的致病起一个作用。
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved small non-coding RNAs of 18-25 nucleotides (nt) that mediate post-transcriptional gene regulation. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause either acute or chronic hepatitis B, and is a high risk factor for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Some mammalian viruses have been shown to modulate the expression of host cellular miRNAs. However, interactions between the HBV and the host cellular miRNAs are largely unknown. Methods miRNA microarray and Northern blotting analysis were used to compare the expression profile of cellular miRNAs of a stable HBV-expressing cell line HepG2.2.15 and its parent cell line HepG2. mRNA microarray assay and the miRanda program were used to predict the miRNA targets. A flow cytometric assay was further used to investigate the expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A. Results Eighteen miRNAs were differentially expressed between the two cell lines. Among them, eleven were up-regulated and seven were down-regulated in HepG2.2.15 cells. Northern blotting analysis confirmed that the expression of miR-181a, miR-181b, miR-200b and miR-146a were up-regulated and the expression of miR-15a was down-regulated, which was in consistent with the results of the microarray analysis. Furthermore, some putative miRNA targets were predicted and verified to be linked with mRNA expression. The 3′-UTR of HLA-A gene had one partially complementary site for miR-181a and miR-181 a might down-regulate the expression of HLA-A. Conclusion HBV replication modulates the expression of host cellular miRNAs, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of HBV-related liver diseases.
