Hepatitis C Virus Nonstructural Protein 5A Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor–α–Mediated Apoptosis in Huh7 Cells

To analyze the influence of hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) on apoptosis, we established Huh7 cells that stably express NS5A, and induced apoptosis using tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–α. The viability of control Huh7 cells was reduced to 40%, compared with untreated cells, after TNF-...

Zusammenfassung:To analyze the influence of hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) on apoptosis, we established Huh7 cells that stably express NS5A, and induced apoptosis using tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–α. The viability of control Huh7 cells was reduced to 40%, compared with untreated cells, after TNF-α treatment, whereas that of Huh7-NS5A cells was reduced only to 80%. DNA fragmentation also decreased to
