چکیده مقاله:

Abstract: Background  and  Aims:  Huh-7  is  a  cell  line  that  was  derived  from  a  liver  tumor  of  a  Japanese  man.  Hepatocellular  carcinoma  (HCC)  is  considered  as  a  primary  liver  cancer.  Highly  resistant  tumor  to  treatment  which  causes  the  death  of  many  patients  annually.  Thus,  targeting  the  cancer  cells  by  using  a  new  method  could  be  effective  in  therapy  of  this  cancer.  Reoviruses  are  oncolytic  viruses  that  can  infect  and  kill  tumor  cells,  which  have  an  activated  Ras  signaling  pathways,  while  normal  cells  are  resistant  to  infection  and  replication  of  these  viruses.  The  aim  of  this  study  was  to  evaluate  the  effect  of  oncolytic  human  reovirus  on  Huh-7  cell  line  in  vitro.  Materials  and  Methods:  Human  reovirus  serotype  3,  Huh-7  cell  line  and  normal  human  fibroblasts  were  used  in  this  study.  After  virus  purification  and  plaque  assay,  human  reoviruses  were  inoculated  into  the  Huh-7  cells  and  human  normal  fibroblasts  as  negative  control.  Virus  cytopathic  effect,  cell  viability  and  viral  RNA  replication  were  assessed  at  the  different  time  of  post-infection. Results:  Virus  cytopathic  effects  and  cell  lysis  were  clearly  observed  and  reovirus  RNA  replication  was  detected  in  the  Huh-7  cells,  whereas  normal  human  fibroblasts  were  resistant  against  reovirus  infection. Conclusion:  The  result  of  the  present  study  showed  that  human  reoviruses  serotype  3  can  destroy  the  Huh-7  cells.  Accordingly,  the  use  of  human  reovirus  could  be  considered  as  a  potential  therapy  for  HCC  and  liver  cancer.

The ClC-3 chloride channel promotes acidification of lysosomes in CHO-K1 and Huh-7 cells.

ClC-3 is a voltage-gated Cl- channel that is highly conserved and widely expressed, although its function, localization, and properties remain a matter of considerable debate. In this study, we have shown that heterologous expression of ClC-3 in either Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) or human hepatoma (Huh-7) cells results in the formation of large, acidic vesicular structures within cells. Vesi...

The design and cytotoxic evaluation of some 1-aryl-3-isopropylamino-1-propanone hydrochlorides towards human Huh-7 hepatoma cells.

A series of 1-aryl-3-isopropylamino-1-propanone hydrochlorides 1 and a related heterocyclic analog 2 as candidate antineoplastic agents were prepared and the rationale for designing these compounds is presented. A specific objective in this study is the discovery of novel compounds possessing growth-inhibiting properties of hepatoma cells. The compounds in series 1 and 2 were prepared and their...

Apigenin Sensitizes Huh-7 Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells to TRAIL-induced Apoptosis

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising agent for management of cancer because of its selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells. However, some cancer cells have resistance to TRAIL. Accordingly, novel treatment strategies are required to overcome TRAIL resistance. Here, we examined the synergistic apoptotic effect of apigenin in combination with TRAIL in Huh-7 cells. We found ...

Let-7c overexpression inhibits dengue virus replication in human hepatoma Huh-7 cells.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute an important class of non-coding RNA implicated in gene expression regulation. More than 1900 miRNA molecules have been identified in humans and their modulation during viral infection and it is recognized to play a role in latency regulation or in establishing an antiviral state. The liver cells are targets during DENV infection, and alteration of liver functions ...

Drug Transporter Expression and Activity in Human Hepatoma HuH-7 Cells

Human hepatoma cells may represent a valuable alternative to the use of human hepatocytes for studying hepatic drug transporters, which is now a regulatory issue during drug development. In the present work, we have characterized hepatic drug transporter expression, activity and regulation in human hepatoma HuH-7 cells, in order to determine the potential relevance of these cells for drug trans...
