| Abstract | The hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx), which is encoded by hepatitis B virus (HBV), plays crucial roles in the tumorigenesis of HBV associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recent studies suggest that the HBx is involved in regulation of host immune cytokines and chemokines in HBV-associated HCC patients. However, effects of the HBx on autocrine chemokine expression profiles of hepatoma cells, which were shown in modulation of tumor-immune cell interactions, have not been investigated comprehensively. In the present study, human hepatoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and HepG2 were transfected with HBx-expressing plasmid. Human chemokine antibody array 1 (RayBio®), which simultaneously detects 38 chemokine factors, was used to determine chemokine expression profiles. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) was used to further confirm the differential expression of chemokines. Chemokine antibody array revealed that all 38 chomekines were found to be expressed by SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cell lines. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) was obviously up-regulated, and epithelial neutrophil-activating protein 78 (ENA78), eosinophil chemotactic protein-1 (Eotaxin-1), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, MCP-3 and macrophage inflammatory protein-3β (MIP-3β) were significantly declined in both cell lines following transfection of HBx-expressing plasmid. Other chemokines showed little or no significant changes. HBx-induced differential chemokine expression levels were validated by real-time PCR. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified a distinction of chomekine expression profiles between HBX-expressing hepatoma cell lines and controls. Our findings provide new evidence that HBx is able to selectively regulate chomekines in hepatoma cells that may be involved in the regulation of tumor-immune cell interactions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
