Hepatitis C virus–apolipoprotein interactions: molecular mechanisms and clinical impact

Abstract: Introduction: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. Moreover, chronic HCV infection is associated with liver steatosis and metabolic disorders. With 130–150 million people chronically infected in the world, HCV infection represents a major public health problem. One hallmark on the virus is its close link with hepatic lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Areas covered: HCV is associated with lipoprotein components such as apolipopr… Show more

“…The formation of HCV lipoviral particles (LVP) occurs within the endoplasmic reticulum at interfaces between lipid droplets and is closely intertwined with lipid and lipoprotein metabolism [40]. As such, apolipoproteins are essential regulators of lipid metabolism and play an important role in the HCV life cycle [41]. apoB forms the protein backbone for the formation of TG lipoproteins including chylomicrons and VLDL as well as post-hydrolysis LDL.…”

“…apoB forms the protein backbone for the formation of TG lipoproteins including chylomicrons and VLDL as well as post-hydrolysis LDL. In contrast to apoB, other apolipoproteins including apoA1, apoC2, apoC3, and apoE are easily disassociated and can be exchanged between different classes of lipoproteins and the surface of HCV LVPs [41]. apoE association with HCV lipoviral particles enhances infectivity [13,42,43,44,45].…”

“…Characterization of HCV particles produced in cell culture (HCVcc) has confirmed these properties ( 16 18 ). Interactions of HCV particles with lipoprotein components play a critical role in the viral life cycle and contribute to viral persistence and development of chronic liver diseases ( 19 ).…”

“…Apolipoproteins were also found in our results. Apolipoproteins play an important role in hepatitis C virus (HCV) pathogenesis, including in viral attachment, entry, and assembly [41]. They may not only participate in NNV entry, but also involve other NNV morphogenesis stages.…”
