Cell entry and release of quasi-enveloped human hepatitis viruses

Abstract: Infectious hepatitis type A and type E are caused by phylogenetically distinct single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses that were once considered to be non-enveloped. However, studies show that both are released nonlytically from hepatocytes as ‘quasi-enveloped’ virions cloaked in host membranes. These virion types predominate in the blood of infected individuals and mediate virus spread within the liver. They lack virally encoded proteins on their surface and are resistant to neutralizing anti-capsid antib… Show more

“…HEV is usually transmitted fecal-orally through contaminated food and water 1 . It enters and leaves the human body in its non-enveloped form (nHEV) and circulates in the blood wrapped in a host-derived lipid quasi-envelope (eHEV) acquired during virus budding from cells (reviewed in 6 ). eHEV particles in the blood are protected from neutralizing antibodies, while nHEV particles shed in the faeces facilitate transmission outside the host 7 .…”

“…Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus that causes severe liver disorders and is related to Togaviridae or Flaviviridae. It is a small spherical enveloped virion with an icosahedral capsid (26)(27)(28). Chronic hepatitis B and C viral infections can result in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through mechanisms involving viral integration and chronic inflammation.…”

“…Studying these viral integration sites and their impact on host genes is essential for identifying potential therapeutic targets. It is crucial to implement preventative strategies and therapies to eradicate chronic infection of HCV and suppress viral replication for HBV (26,27). state in B cells for the lifetime of the host (29-32).…”

“…Contact with bile removes the membranes, so that "naked" infectious viruses resistant to low pH and temperature changes are excreted in the stool. [1][2][3][4] HAV is transmitted preferentially via the fecal-oral route. Parenteral transmission via blood products is rare.…”

“…The HAV is released from the liver into the blood and bile in small vesicles that protect the virions from neutralizing serum antibodies and promote infection of additional hepatocytes. Contact with bile removes the membranes, so that “naked” infectious viruses resistant to low pH and temperature changes are excreted in the stool 1–4 . HAV is transmitted preferentially via the fecal‐oral route.…”
