Research Abstract

HCVによる遺伝子傷害または遺伝子修復機能に与える影響を解析するため、DNA二本鎖切断(DSB)を導入後に相同組換え(修復)が起こるとGFPの蛍光を発生する特徴を持つヒト繊維肉腫細胞株に、レンチウイルスでHCV各蛋白を発現させ35日間培養した。この各HCV蛋白発現細胞を用いて、経日的なFACS解析によりGFPの蛍光を生じた細胞数の割合から相同組換え(修復)の異常の有無を確認した。強制的にDNA傷害を誘導する系と誘導しない系の両者で実施した。
各実験系でGFP陽性細胞の割合がEmpと差があるHCV蛋白が存在し、HCV蛋白によるDNA修復異常の可能性が示唆された。
