چکیده

abstract background and aims: the number of new cancer cases with considerable mortality is increasing worldwide. since the inability of current therapies in treatment of patients and prevention the progress of tumors with fewer side effects, implementation of new methods is needed. gene therapy has widespread systemic cytotoxic effects against tumor cells. rotavirus nsp4 has been shown to elicit extensive cytotoxic activities in transfected or infected cells. in this study, the biological cytotoxic effect of nsp4 rotavirus protein was investigation on tc-1 tumor cell integrity. materials and methods: nsp4 gene of rotavirus was cloned into the pcdh plasmid and then tc-1 tumor cells were transfected with plasmids. after reviewing the presence of this protein by sds-page and confirming nsp4 expression by western blotting using anti- nsp4 antibody, the cytotoxic effect of nsp4 expression in tc-1 tumor cells was measured by the mtt assay. results: significant differences were observed in the cell viability between the control groups and the group of cells that received nsp4 gene. conclusion: rotavirus nsp4 gene posses specific cell cytotoxicity and is potentially effective in tumor destruction.

Rotavirus Nonstructural Protein 4 (NSP4)-Viral Enterotoxin with Multiple roles in Pathogenesis of Diarrhoea in Children

Article history: Received on: 06/05/2015 Revised on: 24/05/2015 Accepted on: 14/07/2015 Available online: 27/07/2015 Nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) of Rotavirus has been designated as the first viral enterotoxin. Its role in viral replication is already well known. Intensive research over the past decade has shown the involvement of this protein in many cellular activities both in ‘expressed’ a...

Rotavirus glycoprotein NSP4 is a modulator of viral transcription in the infected cell.

The outer shell of the rotavirus triple-layered virion is lost during cell entry, yielding a double-layered particle (DLP) that directs synthesis of viral plus-strand RNAs. The plus-strand RNAs act as templates for synthesis of the segmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genome in viral inclusion bodies (viroplasms). The viral endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident glycoprotein NSP4 recruits progeny...

Group A Rotavirus NSP4 is Under Negative Selective Pressure

Rotavirus (RV) is the major etiologic agent of severe infantile gastroenteritis; its genome has 11 segments of double stranded RNA, encoding 12 proteins. The non-structural protein 4 (NSP4) encoded by segment 10 is multifunctional. The aim of this study is to analyze the selective pressure driving the NSP4 of RV, through the ratio of non-synonymous substitutions per synonymous substitutions (dN...

A functional NSP4 enterotoxin peptide secreted from rotavirus-infected cells.

Previous studies have shown that the nonstructural glycoprotein NSP4 plays a role in rotavirus pathogenesis by functioning as an enterotoxin. One prediction of the mechanism of action of this enterotoxin was that it is secreted from virus-infected cells. In this study, the media of cultured (i) insect cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus expressing NSP4, (ii) monkey kidney (MA104) cell...
