Preferential association of hepatitis C virus with CD19+ B cells is mediated by complement system

Abstract: Extrahepatic disease manifestations are common in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The mechanism of HCV-related lymphoproliferative disorders is not fully understood. Recent studies have found that HCV in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from chronically infected patients is mainly associated with CD19+ B cells. To further elucidate this preferential association of HCV with B cells, we used in vitro cultured virus and uninfected PBMCs from healthy blood donors to investigate the necessary s… Show more

“…Detailed descriptions of our patients and methods used for cell culture, in vitro RNA synthesis, HCV production in cell culture, conversion of plasma to serum, and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) isolation were described in our previous studies . Ethics committees of the American Red Cross and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) approved the study protocol in accord with the Declaration of Helsinki and the study has been reviewed annually by an NIH Institutional Review Board (NIH Protocol 91‐CC‐0017).…”

“…Growth of human hepatoma cell line Huh7.5.1 and preparation of full‐length HCV1a (H77S) RNA were performed as described, with minor modifications. Briefly, 42 μg of HCV1a (H77S) full‐length RNA was transfected into 1.2 × 10 7 Huh 7.5.1 cells in two 25 × 150 mm culture dishes by using mRNA boost reagent and TranslT‐mRNA reagent (MIR2250; Mirus, Madison, Wisconsin) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.…”

“…Considerable heterogeneity of the HCV structure plays a role of a factor that rises the chance of development of mechanisms of molecular mimicry between the antigenic structures of the virus of host cells. The extension of the non-organ-autoantibodies spectrum in case of mixed cryoglobulinemia gives a reason to state that the autoimmune mechanisms play a significant role in the emergence of its clinical manifestations [9,10]. According to the researches results [11][12][13] different markers of autoimmune disorders can be found in patients with CHC, among them are mixed cryoglobulines (40-74 %), RF (45-98 %), hypocomplementemia (30 %), antibodies to cardiolipin (20-44 %), antibodies to Ro (SS-A) / La(SS-B) antigen, ANA (10-52 %) and others, but their clinical value, except for cryoglobulines, is still poorly studied.…”
