Abstract
The invention discloses application of a substance targeting SAC1 in preparing a medicament for treating hepatitis B, wherein the medicament enables SAC1 to be over-expressed; also discloses the application of SAC1 protein or recombinant plasmid expressing SAC1 protein in preparing medicine for treating hepatitis B. The research of the invention shows that SAC1 can obviously inhibit HBV replication by promoting autophagy degradation of HBV virions, and SAC1 has good application prospect as a new potential target point for anti-HBV treatment. The study of the invention shows that SAC1 deletion causes accumulation of a large amount of PI4P in Golgi-ATG 9 vesicle-autophagosome, and the autophagy-lysosome fusion is blocked by inhibiting interaction between SNAP29 and VAMP8, so that autophagy degradation of HBV virions is reduced, HBV replication is enhanced, and a novel anti-HBV strategy is provided from the perspective of phospholipid metabolism.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine and medicine, in particular to application of SAC1 as a hepatitis B treatment target.
Background
The risk of cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma in patients infected with chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is high, and there is growing evidence that HBV production is closely related to intracellular lipid metabolism. Phosphatidylinositol lipids play an important role in lipid signaling, membrane recognition, carrier transport, and viral replication. However, there is currently no relevant document as to whether phosphatidylinositol can regulate HBV replication.
SAC1 phosphatidylinositol phosphatase (SACM 1L/SAC 1) is a key lipid phosphatase for phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns 4P/PI 4P), an intact membrane protein, present in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and in the Golgi apparatus, circulating between the endoplasmic reticulum and the early Golgi apparatus. Studies have shown that SAC1 promotes replication of certain viruses, including Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) and epstein barr virus, in vitro by recruiting large amounts of PI4P to the viral replication site. Popescu et al reported that in Huh7 cells with SAC1 Knockdown (KO), SAC1 deletion resulted in PI4P accumulation, which prevented HBV envelope protein transport to the polysomes (MVBs), thus inhibiting HBV viral nucleocapsid packaging and secretion, suggesting that SAC1 may be a key host cytokine regulating viral assembly and secretion. So far, it is not clear whether SAC1 regulates other steps in HBV life cycle.
Disclosure of Invention
Phosphatidylinositol lipids play an important role in lipid signaling, membrane recognition, carrier transport, and viral replication. Previous studies have shown that SAC1 phosphatidylinositol phosphatase (SACM 1L/SAC 1) with phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI 4P) as a substrate greatly affects replication of several viruses in vitro. However, whether and how SAC1 regulates replication of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is unclear. In the studies of the present invention, we found that SAC1 silencing significantly increased HBV replication and production of hepatitis b virus surface antigen, whereas SAC1 overexpression produced the opposite effect.
Based on this, the present application provides the use of a substance targeting SAC1 for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of hepatitis b, which medicament overexpresses SAC 1.
In the technical scheme, the medicine is a SAC1 promoter.
Over-expressed SAC1 inhibits HBV replication.
SAC1 prevents replication of hepatitis b virus by enhancing autophagy degradation mediated by autophagosome-lysosomal fusion.
SAC1 enhances autophagosome-lysosomal fusion by promoting interactions between synaptosome associated protein 29 (SNAP 29) and vesicle associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP 8).
The invention also provides application of the SAC1 protein or the recombinant plasmid expressing the SAC1 protein in preparing medicaments for treating hepatitis B.
The recombinant plasmid for expressing the SAC1 protein is obtained by accessing a gene for encoding the SAC1 protein into an expression vector.
In the technical scheme, the recombinant plasmid is a SAC1-myc plasmid.
In the above technical solution, the drug includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In the technical scheme, the medicine is tablets, capsules, injections, granules, powder, pills or oral liquid.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
the present inventors have found that SAC1 silencing significantly increases HBV replication and production of hepatitis b virus surface antigen, whereas SAC1 overexpression produces the opposite effect. SAC1 overexpression inhibited HBV replication in a hydrodynamic injection model of chronically HBV infected mice. Through further mechanistic studies, SAC1 silencing was found to increase the number of autophagosomes containing HBV and PI4P levels on autophagosome membranes, SAC1 silencing prevented autophagosome-lysosomal fusion by inhibiting the interaction between synaptosome associated protein 29 (SNAP 29) and vesicle associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP 8). The research of the invention shows that SAC1 can obviously inhibit HBV replication by promoting autophagy degradation of HBV virions, and SAC1 has good application prospect as a new potential target point for anti-HBV treatment.
The study of the invention shows that SAC1 deletion causes accumulation of a large amount of PI4P in Golgi-ATG 9 vesicle-autophagosome, and the interaction between SNAP29 and VAMP8 is inhibited to block autophagy-lysosome fusion, so that autophagy degradation of HBV virions is reduced, and HBV replication is enhanced. The research result of the invention provides a new anti-HBV strategy from the perspective of phospholipid metabolism.

3 results
3.1SAC1 silencing promotes HBV replication
We explored whether SAC1 regulates HBV replication and viral gene expression by silencing SAC 1. To this end, hepg2.2.15 cells were transfected with two specific siRNAs against SAC1 or control siRNA, huh7 cells were co-transfected with phbv1.3 plasmid and siRNAs. 72h after transfection, we found that SAC1 silencing significantly increased the levels of hepg2.2.15 and HBV transfected Huh7 cell culture supernatant and intracellular HBsAg (fig. 1A-B). However, there was no significant effect on HBeAg and HBV RNA, including TotalHBVRNA and pgRNA. Consistent with this result, confocal microscopy showed a significant increase in the number of HBsAg punctate fluorescence after SAC1 silencing (fig. 1C). Westernblot analysis of cell lysates further showed a significant increase in the expression of hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) following SAC1 silencing (FIG. 1D). The level of HBVDNA was detected by real-time quantitative qPCR and southern blot experiments, respectively. The results showed a significant increase in intracellular HBVDNA after SAC1 silencing (fig. 1e, f). Taken together, these data indicate that SAC1 silencing promotes HBV replication and expression of related genes in HBV expressing hepatoma cells.
3.2SAC1 overexpression inhibits HBV replication
To investigate the effect of SAC1 overexpression on HBV replication and viral gene expression, we co-transfected Huh7 cells with phbv1.3 and SAC1-myc plasmid or vector pcdna3.1 expressing SAC1 gene. After 72h transfection, ELISA results showed that SAC1 overexpression significantly reduced the level of HBsAg in culture supernatants and cell lysates (FIGS. 2A-B). Confocal microscopy showed that SAC1 overexpression significantly reduced intracellular HBsAg expression in HBV transfected Huh7 cells (fig. 2C). Consistent with this result, westernblot experiments demonstrated a decrease in HBcAg expression levels after SAC1 overexpression (fig. 2D), followed by detection of HBVDNA levels using real-time quantitative qPCR and southern blot experiments. The results showed that SAC1 overexpression inhibited intracellular HBVDNA levels (fig. 2e, f). Taken together, these results indicate that SAC1 overexpression inhibits HBV replication and expression of related genes in vitro.
3.3 SAC1 overexpression inhibits HBV replication in a mouse model of chronic HBV infection
To assess the inhibition of HBV replication by SAC1 in vivo, we Hydrotropic Injected (HI) pAAV-HBV1.2 and SAC1-Myc or control pcdna3.1-Myc plasmids in a mouse model of chronic HBV infection to investigate whether SAC1 overexpression inhibited HBV replication. Mouse serum and liver samples were taken at various time points after injection (fig. 3A). SAC1 overexpression significantly inhibited HBsAg secretion for more than 6 weeks (fig. 3B). 2 or6 weeks after injection, 2 mice were sacrificed per group, livers were harvested, and intracellular HBcAg and HBVDNA expression levels were detected. Quantitative immunohistochemistry of liver sections showed that SAC1 overexpression resulted in a significant decrease in HBcAg positive hepatocytes (fig. 3C). Furthermore, real-time qPCR and southern blotting results showed that the levels of HBVDNA in mouse liver samples were significantly reduced after SAC1 overexpression (FIG. 3D-E). Taken together, these data indicate that SAC1 overexpression inhibits HBV replication in vivo.

Studies in yeast and mammals have shown that SAC1 is responsible for PI4P turnover in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. We speculate that SAC1 may regulate HBV replication and gene expression by altering intracellular PI4P turnover. Thus, we assessed the effect of SAC1 silencing and overexpression on PI4P levels in liver cancer cell lines. Confocal microscopy showed that SAC1 silencing increased the number of PI 4P-point signals in the cell (fig. 4A), while SAC1 overexpression had the opposite effect (fig. 4B). Measurement of intracellular PI4P total levels using PI 4P-specific ELISA kits we found that SAC1 silencing increased intracellular PI4P levels (fig. 4C), whereas SAC1 overexpression reduced intracellular PI4P total levels (fig. 4D). Next, we examined the distribution of PI4P expression in golgi (gm130+), ATG9 vector (atg9+) and autophagosome (lc3+) using immunofluorescent staining. Confocal microscopy showed that SAC1 silencing significantly increased the co-localization percentage of PI4P with golgi complex (fig. 4E), ATG9 vesicle (fig. 4F), or autophagosome (fig. 4G). These results indicate that SAC1 silencing increases total PI4P levels in cells.
3.5SAC1 silencing increases HBV replication by autophagy flux
Recent studies have shown that SAC1 plays an important role in autophagy induction and autophagosome-lysosomal fusion. Our and others' studies indicate that autophagy processes affect HBV replication, whereas SAC1 plays a role in regulating autophagy, we evaluate whether SAC1 silencing would increase HBV replication by altering autophagy flux. We found that the addition of the autophagy early inhibitor VPS34-IN1 to HepG2.2.15 cells partially reversed the promotion of SAC1 silencing on supernatant and intracellular HBsAg levels (FIG. 5A). Following simultaneous treatment with autophagy inducer Torin1, the silenced SAC1, hepg2.2.15 cell supernatants and intracellular HBsAg levels were further increased (fig. 5B). These results indicate that silencing of SAC1 promotes HBV replication at least in part by altering autophagy flux. To further support our hypothesis, we assessed the effect of SAC1 silencing on the ATG5KOHuh7 cell line. Consistent with the effects of VPS34-IN1, ATG5-KO partially inhibited SAC1 silencing or overexpression from promoting or inhibiting intracellular HBcAg expression (FIGS. 5C-D), as well as supernatant and intracellular HBsAg levels (FIGS. 5E-F). Taken together, these findings indicate that SAC1 silencing increases HBV replication by modulating autophagy flux.
Silencing 3.6SAC1 results in autophagic volume accumulation
To explore how SAC1 regulates autophagy flux, we first examined the effect of SAC1 silencing or overexpression on autophagosome numbers and autophagy degradation in HBV transfected Huh7 cells. Confocal microscopy showed that SAC1 silencing significantly increased the amount of LC3 punctate fluorescence (fig. 6A), and Westernblotting analysis showed up-regulation of LC3II levels (fig. 6B). In contrast, SAC1 overexpression significantly reduced the amount of LC3 punctate fluorescence (fig. 6C), inhibiting LC3II protein expression (fig. 6D). Interestingly, SAC1 silencing significantly increased the level of cargo receptor p62, whereas SAC1 overexpression had the opposite effect. These data indicate that SAC1 silencing leads to the accumulation of large numbers of autophagosomes by interfering with autophagy degradation. Subsequently, co-transfection of Huh7 cells with mCherry-GFP-LC3 plasmid and siSAC1 or siNC with the lysosomal acidification inhibitor chloroquine as positive control resulted in accumulation of LC3 punctiform proteins expressing GFP and mCherry, similar to chloroquine treatment (fig. 6E). Taken together, these data indicate that SAC1 silencing leads to massive accumulation of autophagosomes by induction of incomplete autophagy, leading to hindered degradation of intracellular cargo.
3.7SAC1 silencing inhibits autophagosome-lysosomal fusion by blocking interactions between VAMP8 and SNAP29
Next, we studied the molecular mechanism by which SAC1 silencing leads to the accumulation of large numbers of autophagosomes in HBV expressing cells. Our recent studies indicate that SAC1 defects prevent autophagosome-lysosome fusion and, in addition, liu et al report that SAC1 deletions disrupt salmonella-containing autophagosome and lysosome fusion, thereby compromising salmonella clearance in the autophagy degradation pathway, resulting in increased bacterial replication. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that SAC1 silencing induces intracellular autophagosome accumulation by modulating autophagosome-lysosomal fusion. Thus, we studied the effect of SAC1 silencing on autophagy degradability. DQ-RedBSA degradation experiments showed that SAC1 silencing resulted in a significant decrease in the DQ-RedBSA fluorescent signal generated by intracellular autophagy lysosomal proteolysis (FIG. 7A), indicating that SAC1 silencing reduced lysosomal transport or degradation of the autophagy cargo DQ-RedBSA. To elucidate how SAC1 silencing prevents autophagy degradation, lysosomal acidification and autolysosomal formation, evaluation was performed using LysoTracker staining and immunofluorescence co-localization analysis of autophagosomes and lysosomes, respectively. Lysotracker staining showed no significant difference in red fluorescent signal of cells after SAC1 silencing (fig. 7B), indicating that SAC1 silencing did not affect lysosomal acidification. However, co-localization of GFP-LC3 and LAMP1 was significantly reduced after SAC1 silencing (fig. 7C), indicating that SAC1 silencing prevented autophagosome-lysosomal fusion. The STX17/SNAP29/VAMP8SNARE complex is critical for autophagosome fusion with lysosomes, which can recruit homologous fusion and protein sorting complexes. We studied whether SAC1 silencing inhibits autophagosome-lysosomal fusion by blocking STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8 assembly. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments with either exogenous (FIG. 7D-E) or endogenous (FIG. 7F) proteins showed that SAC1 silencing blocked SNAP29 interaction with VAMP8 but not STX17 in Huh7 cells and HepG2.2.15 cells (FIG. 7D-F). Taken together, these results indicate that SAC1 silencing inhibits autophagy fusion by blocking SNAP29 binding to VAMP 8.
4 analysis
SAC1 is currently the only phosphatase that is effective in reducing PI4P levels in certain vesicles. However, whether and how SAC1 regulates HBV replication process is still unclear. We studied the effect of SAC1 on HBV replication and its underlying molecular mechanism (FIG. 8). We found that SAC1 silencing significantly increased HBV replication and HBsAg production, whereas SAC1 overexpression had the opposite effect. SAC1 silencing increased the number of autophagosomes containing HBV and PI4P levels on autophagosome membranes. In addition, SAC1 silencing prevents autophagosome-lysosomal fusion by inhibiting the interaction between SNAP29 and VAMP 8. Overall, our data indicate that phosphatase SAC1 significantly inhibits HBV replication by promoting autophagic degradation of HBV virions.
SAC1 regulates replication of certain viruses and bacteria by different mechanisms. It inhibits replication of HCV and epstein barr virus by preventing PI4P recruitment to the viral replication site. HCV has evolved strategies to destroy the antiviral effects of SAC1 in the late stages of infection. The literature reports that SAC1 deletion results in abnormal accumulation of PI4P on Salmonella-containing autophagosomes, resulting in reduced autophagy degradation and promotion of bacterial replication. Thus, SAC1 may promote bacterial and viral replication by affecting PI4P levels. Consistent with this hypothesis, our findings indicate that SAC1 silencing significantly increases HBV replication and HBsAg production in vitro, while SAC1 overexpression produces adverse effects in vitro and in a hydrodynamically injected-based mouse model of chronic HBV infection. Interestingly, studies have reported that depletion of SAC1 reduces the envelope and secretion of HBV particles in SAC1-KO Huh7 cells, while increasing the number of HBV nucleocapsids in the cells. They believe that the SAC1 deletion causes PI4P accumulation and prevents HBV envelope protein transport to the multivesicular body, suggesting SAC1 is a key host cytokine controlling HBV nucleocapsid envelope and morphogenesis. Thus, in this study we studied how SAC1 regulates other steps in HBV life cycle.
SAC 1-deficient increases the number of HBV-containing autophagosomes by up-regulating the level of its substrate PI4P on the autophagosome membrane. Following autophagy activation, SAC1 is transported from the ER to the ER-golgi intermediate region and complex where membrane components containing certain lipids are produced and then transported by ATG9 vesicles to autophagosomes for the post autophagy process. SAC1 is the only lipid phosphatase capable of hydrolyzing PI4P, reducing PI4P levels and autophagosome numbers. SAC1 and PI4P kinase phosphatidylmyo-4-kinase II alpha regulate autophagosome maturation by altering PI4P levels. Vanhauwa et al found that SAC1 affected maturation of presynaptic terminal autophagosomes. Thus, we hypothesize that SAC1 regulates HBV replication by modulating autophagy flux. We found that SAC1 silencing resulted in significantly elevated intracellular PI4P levels, mainly in golgi, ATG9 vesicles and autophagosomes. Although we cannot rule out the possibility that SAC1 defects increase PI4P levels in other organelles, our results strongly suggest that SAC1 defects modulate autophagy flux by up-regulating its substrate PI4P levels on autophagosome membranes. Further evidence is provided by the use of autophagy inhibitors VPS34-IN1 and ATG5-KOHuh7 cells (FIG. 5). The results show that autophagy inhibition partially inhibits the promotion of HBV production by SAC1 silencing, suggesting that autophagy is the primary mechanism of SAC 1-mediated HBV replication inhibition. We speculate that other effects of SAC1, including lipid transport and formation of cellular membrane scaffolds, may contribute in part to this effect in cells
Silencing of SAC1 prevents autophagosome-lysosomal fusion by inhibiting interactions between VAMP8 and SNAP29, thereby increasing HBV replication. Previous studies by Miao et al and our team showed that SAC1 silencing resulted in increased intracellular PI4P levels and prevented autophagosome-lysosomal fusion. We found that PI4P accumulation on autophagosome membranes induced by SAC1 deficiency resulted in failure of recruitment of the SNARE component of autophagosome-lysosome fusion without altering lysosomal acidification, a process that is highly conserved in yeast and eukaryotes. In agreement with this, we found that SAC1 silencing induced incomplete autophagosome formation and reduced cargo degradation by blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Thus, we speculate that the main cause of SAC1 silencing leading to enhanced HBV replication and HBsAg production is impaired autophagy degradation. Since SNAP29/VAMP8/STX17SNARE complex plays a role in autophagy degradation of HBV virions, the SAC1 deletion and thus PI4P accumulated on autophagosome membrane may interfere with autophagosome-lysosomal fusion and HBV replication. Notably, accumulation of PI4P may alter the spatial conformation of the membrane. Co-IP experiments demonstrated that SAC1 silencing inhibited the interaction between SNAP29 and VAMP 8. This finding suggests that SAC1 deficiency results in PI4P accumulation in early golgi compartments, which results in excessive PI4P integration into the autophagosome membrane, defective recruitment of the SNARE component of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Thus, SAC1 defects may increase the number of HBV autophagosomes containing excess PI4P, which are not fused to lysosomes, thereby compromising lysosomal degradation of HBV virions. However, the specific molecular mechanism by which excessive autophagosome PI4P interferes with SNARE component interactions is not yet known.
Taken together, our studies indicate that SAC1 deletion results in accumulation of large amounts of PI4P by golgi-ATG 9 vesicle-autophagosomes and blocks autophagy-lysosomal fusion by inhibiting the interaction between SNAP29 and VAMP8, thereby reducing autophagy degradation of HBV virions and enhancing HBV replication. Our results of the study provide a new strategy against HBV from the perspective of phospholipid metabolism.
