Abstract:
Objective To establish an experimental model of HCV C-HBV X coexpression protein and explore its effect on tolemerase activity. Methods The HBV X gene was recovered by enzyme digestion, cloned into PBK-CMV and PBK-HCV C, and the recombinant plasmids PBK-X and PBK-X-C were obstained. The plasmids PBK-CMV, PBK-X, PBK-HCV C and PBK-X-C were transfected into HepG2 cells with liposome. After selected with G418, positive colonies were obtained. The reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting were used to detect HBV X and HCV core protein expression and PCR-ELISA for tolemerase activity. Results The recombinant plasmid PBK-X-C could express HBV X and HCV core protein efficiently. The telomerase activity of the cells coexpressed HCV C-HBV X protein was higher than that of cells expessed HBV X, HCV C and vector only. Conclusion HBV X-HCV C coexpression protein can increase the telomerase activity of HepG2 cells, which suggests that HBV and HCV can cooperate with carcinogenesis.
