Chapter 20 Effects of Hepatitis C Core Protein on Mitochondrial Electron Transport and Production of Reactive Oxygen Species

Abstract: Viral infections frequently alter mitochondrial function with suppression or induction of apoptosis and enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species. The mechanisms of these effects are varied and mitochondria are affected by both direct interactions with viral proteins as well as by secondary effects of viral activated signaling cascades. This chapter describes methods used in our laboratory to assess the effects of the Hepatitis C virus core protein on mitochondrial ROS production, electron transport and C… Show more

“…ROS generation in rats of all groups was measured by the method of [4] using Varioskan fluorescent microplate reader. The method employs the measurement of ROS generation using the cell permeable fluorescent dye DCFH-DA (2′, 7-dichlorofluoresceindiacetate).…”

“…Freshly isolated mitochondria were incubated with various concentrations of CaCl 2 at room temperature for 30 min in cytochrome c buffer (300 m m mannitol, 10 m m HEPES, 0.3 m m KH 2 PO 4 , pH 7.4). Exogenous core protein [35] at a concentration of 20 ng/mg mitochondrial protein was incubated with mitochondria along with Ca 2+ for 30 min when indicated. To the mixture, 50 μg/mL of proteinase K was then added to remove any cytochrome c that was released from the intermembrane space.…”

“…HSV1 downregulates the uptake of Ca 2+ by mitochondria along its lytic cycle, modulating virus replication (Lund and Ziola, 1985). Other viruses such as HCV target mitochondria, increasing Ca 2+ concentration (Li et al, 2007; Campbell et al, 2009). Among the HCV proteins known to interfere with Ca 2+ homeostasis, are the core protein, the NS5A, and the p7 protein (Gong et al, 2001; Griffin et al, 2004; Kalamvoki and Mavromara, 2004; Dionisio et al, 2009).…”
