Co-expression of HBx and Hepsin Promotes Replication of HBV

  • Entire ORF of Hepsin was isolated from adjacent live tissue of HCC with RT-PCR. Hepsin gene was inserted into expressing vector pCMV-tag-HS. The recombinant vector pCMV-tag-HS was co-transfected into liver tumor line Hep G2.2.1.5 with plasmid encoding HBx protein. The results indicated that co-expression of HBx and Hepsin increased the expressing level of viral proteins and the copy number of HBV, which implicated that the association of HBx and Hepsin promoted the replication of HBV.

    Abstract: Entire ORF of Hepsin was isolated from adjacent live tissue of HCC with RT-PCR. Hepsin gene was inserted into expressing vector pCMV-tag-HS. The recombinant vector pCMV-tag-HS was co-transfected into liver tumor line Hep G2.2.1.5 with plasmid encoding HBx protein. The results indicated that co-expression of HBx and Hepsin increased the expressing level of viral proteins and the copy number of HBV, which implicated that the association of HBx and Hepsin promoted the replication of HBV.
