关键词:乙型肝炎病毒 启动子 变异 氯霉素乙酰转移酶
摘要 目的 乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)C基因调节序列存在较多变异,为探讨在诸多变异中,T1762 A1764 变异对C区启动子(CP)活性究竟起何作用。方法 用克隆及PCR产物直接测序,检测T1762 A1764 变异;并将含调节序列的PCR产物插入到氯霉素乙酰转移酶(CAT)表达质粒中,转染HepG2 细胞并瞬时表达。结果 通过比较野生株及变异株在CP区序列及CAT表达水平显示,T1762 A1764 变异在使CAT表达下调中起主要作用。结论 T1762 A1764 变异在使CP活性下调中起主要作用。

Abstract Objective With the knowledge that the substituted mutation of T1762 A1764 inhepatitis B virus (HBV) core promoter (CP) region was the most common variation duringchronic HBV infection,we proceed to study the role that the mutation T1762 A1764 plays in effecting the core promoter.Methods Seven patients withfulminant hepatitis and one asymptomatic HBV carrier were investigated for screening T1762 A1764 mutation by cloning and PCR products direct sequencing.PCR products containing HBV precore/core gene regulatory sequences were directly cloned into chloramphenicolacetyltransferase (CAT) expressing plasmid.CAT assay was done to compare CAT expressinglevel after transfecting into HepG2 cell line and transient expression.Results Results reveal that T1762 A1764 mutation was the main factor thatrepresses CAT expression in vitro.Conclusion Among the several othervariations within hepatitis B virus' core promoter region,T1762 A1764 mutation has mainly affected the down-regulating activity of core promoter.
