Expression of hepatitis B virus 1.3-fold genome plasmid in an SV40 T-antigen-immortalized mouse hepatic cell line

         

摘要

AIM:To investigate the expression of the hepatitis B virus(HBV)1.3-fold genome plasmid(pHBV1.3)in an immortalized mouse hepatic cell line induced by SV40T-antigen(SV40T)expression.METHODS:Mouse hepatic cells were isolated from mouse liver tissue fragments from 3-5 d old Kunming mice by the direct collagenase digestion method and cultured in vitro.The pRSV-T plasmid was transfected into mouse hepatic cells to establish an SV40LT-immortalized mouse hepatic cell line.The SV40LT-immortalized mouse hepatic cells were identified and transfected with the pHBV1.3 plasmid.The levels of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)and hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)in the supernatant were determined by an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay at 24,48,72 and 96 h after transfection.The expressions of HBsAg and hepatitis B c antigen(HBcAg)in the cells were investigated by indirect immunofluorescence analysis.The presence of HBV DNA replication intermediates in the transfected cells and viral particles in the supernatant of the transfected cell cultures was monitored using the Southern hybridization assay and transmission electronic microscopy,respectively.RESULTS:The pRSV-T plasmid was used to immortalize mouse hepatocytes and an SV40LT-immortalized mouse hepatic cell line was successfully established.SV40LT-immortalized mouse hepatic cells have the same morphology and growth characteristics as primary mouse hepatic cells can be subcultured and produce albumin and cytokeratin-18 in vitro.Immortalized mouse hepatic cells did not show the characteristics of tumor cells,as alpha-fetoprotein levels were comparable(0.58±0.37 vs 0.61±0.31,P=0.37).SV40LTimmortalized mouse hepatic cells were then transfected with the pHBV1.3 plasmid,and it was found that the HBV genome replicated in SV40LT-immortalized mouse hepatic cells.The levels of HBsAg and HBeAg continuously increased in the supernatant after the transfection of pHBV1.3,and began to decrease 72 h after transfection.The expressions of HBsAg and HBcAg were observed in the pHBV1.3-transfected cells.HBV DNA replication intermediates were also observed at72 h after transfection,including relaxed circular DNA,double-stranded DNA and single-stranded DNA.Furthermore,a few 42 nm Dane particles,as well as many22 nm subviral particles with a spherical or filamentous shape,were detected in the supernatant.CONCLUSION:SV40T expression can immortalize mouse hepatic cells,and the pHBV1.3-transfected SV40T-immortalized mouse hepatic cell line can be a new in vitro cell model.
