Abstract

Natural killer (NK) cells and cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) have been implicated as important effectors of antiviral defense. We previously isolated a novel antibacterial polypeptide, which was identified as high mobility group nucleosomal-binding domain 2 (HMGN2), from human mononuclear leukocytes. This study examined the antiviral activity of HMGN2 against human hepatitis virus B. HMGN2 was isolated and purified from the acid soluble proteins of the human THP-1 cell line, and identified by mass spectrum, Western blot and antibacterial assay. The hepatitis B virus (HBV)-transfected HepG2.2.15 cell line was used in the in vitro assay system. In the range of 1-100 microg/ml HMGN2, no cytotoxicity for HepG2.2.15 cells was detected by MTT assay. When incubated with HMGN2 at 1-100 microg/ml for 72 or 144 h, there was a significant reduction in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) expression, which were detected by ELISA, and a significant reduction in HBV DNA copies, which was determined by the real time quantitative PCR, in the supernatant of HepG2.2.15 cells. Northern and Southern blot analysis also showed that the levels of the HBV 3.5 kb and the 2.4/2.1 kb mRNA species and HBV replicative interm...Continue Reading
