We prepared human hepatoma cell lines, which expressed the human hepatitis B virus-X gene product. The plasmid pMAMneo-X, containing an HBV-X gene promoter, an enhancer and a structural gene was constructed. Transfected HBV-X gene integration and expression were detected by Southern and Northern blotting, as well as by chloramphenicol acetylase transferase (CAT) assay using various kinds of promoter-CAT reporter systems. HBV-X protein expression in stable transfectants was confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Transfected cell lines showed permanent expression of HBV-X proteins. The HBV-X transfectant activated its target promoters in promoter-CAT constructs as reporters. The HBV-X transfectant enhanced AP-1 transcription factor binding to its target DNA. Therefore, X-transfectants are not only stable, but also have specific biological functions. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry showed that the majority of the transfectant cells are arrested in the G1 or G2 phase of the cell cycle. These cell lines may be useful in analyzing the biological functions of HBV-X and its functional role in the formation of hepatocellular carcinomas.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D006515 Hepatitis B virus The type species of the genus ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS which causes human HEPATITIS B and is also apparently a causal agent in human HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. The Dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
