Abstract:

Objective   To study the expression of a recombinant HBV in human glomerular mesangical cells (NHMC) and its influence on cell apoptosis. Methods    Recombinant full length C genotype hepatitis B virus (PHY106-CHBV) was transfected into NHMC cells by the liposome method. The supernatant of NHMC cell cultures was collected at 24, 48 and 72h after transfection. HBsAg and HBeAg were detected by the ELISA method. Morphological changes were detected by light and fluorescence microscopes after staining  with Hoechest 33258; The proliferation rate and apoptosis rate of NHMC cells were examined using the MTT assay and flow cytometry, separately. Results   The high expression levels of HBsAg and HBeAg were detected in NHMC cells after PHY106-CHBV transfection.The observed morphological changes indicated that NHMC cells′ apoptosis was induced by PHY106-CHBV. Proliferation of NHMC cells was inhibited, and apoptotic rate was elevated as shown with flow cytometry. Conclusion   HBV expression in NHMC cells led to cell proliferation arrest and promoted apoptosis.
