Abstract:
AIM:To explore the effect of HBV transfection on apoptosis induced by TWEAK and the regulatory effect of IFN-? on the apoptosis process.METHODS:BEL-7402-pCDNA3/1.1HBV hepatoma cell line was used as cell model in this experiment,in which BEL-7402 was stably transfected with pCDNA3/1.1HBV and its corresponding empty vector BEL-7402-pCDNA3 was used as control. The effect of HBV transfection on TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis(TWEAK) induced hepatoma cell apoptosis was determined by CCK-8. The apoptosis before and after HBV transfection induced by TWEAK and the effect of IFN-? on apoptosis induced by TWEAK in HBV transfected hepatoma cells were detected by TUNEL and caspase 3 activity detection kit.RESULTS:BEL-7402-pCDNA3/1.1HBV and BEL-7402-pCDNA3 hepatoma cell line were successfully established and identified. Cell viability of hepatoma cells was increased after HBV transfection. The apoptosis rate was much higher after HBV transfection compared to the empty vector control and empty cell control. The apoptosis rate induced by TWEAK was much higher in BEL-7402-pCDNA3/1.1HBV cells when exposed to IFN-?.CONCLUSION:After HBV infection,TWEAK might be involved in the clearance of HBV infected hepatocyte by apoptosis and inflammatory factor such as IFN-?.
