Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication is controlled by liver-enriched transcriptional factors, including forkhead box protein A (FOXA) members. Here, we found that FOXA members are directly and indirectly involved in HBV replication in human hepatic cells. HBV replication was elevated in HuH-7 treated with individual FOXA members-specific siRNA. Reciprocally, the downregulation of HBV replication was observed in FOXA-induced HuH-7. However, the mechanism of downregulation is different among FOXA members at the level of HBV RNA transcription, such as precore/pg RNA and 2.1 kb RNA. In addition, FOXA1 and FOXA2 suppressed nuclear hormone receptors, such as HNF4α, that are related to HBV replication.
乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)的复制受肝脏富集转录因子的控制,包括叉头框蛋白A(FOXA)家族成员。在此,我们发现FOXA家族成员直接或间接参与人类肝细胞中的HBV复制。用单个FOXA家族成员特异性siRNA处理的HuH-7细胞中,HBV复制增加。相反,在FOXA诱导的HuH-7细胞中观察到HBV复制下调。然而,在HBV RNA转录水平,如前核心/pg RNA和2.1 kb RNA,FOXA家族成员下调HBV复制的机制有所不同。此外,FOXA1和FOXA2抑制了与HBV复制相关的核激素受体,如肝细胞核因子4α(HNF4α)。
