Hepatitis C Virus Downregulates Core Subunits of Oxidative Phosphorylation, Reminiscent of the Warburg Effect in Cancer Cells

Abstract: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) mainly infects liver hepatocytes and replicates its single-stranded plus strand RNA genome exclusively in the cytoplasm. Viral proteins and RNA interfere with the host cell immune response, allowing the virus to continue replication. Therefore, in about 70% of cases, the viral infection cannot be cleared by the immune system, but a chronic infection is established, often resulting in liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Induction of cancer in the host cells can … Show more

“…Concomitantly, expression of cellular proto-oncogenes including hras, c-fos, c-jun, c-myc, and vav1 was elevated under ARF/core+1 overexpression, and the number of tumors in mice overexpressing the ARF/core+1 protein during chemically induced tumorigenesis was significantly increased [245]. This indicates that HCV not only rapidly reprograms the hepatocyte metabolism to promote the Warburg effect that is a characteristic of tumor cells [11,246] but also establishes proto-oncogene expression changes that lead to cancer in the long run. Future research should also systematically search for cellular binding partners of the ARF/core+1 protein by global scale interactome and for targets of gene expression regulation by crosslink immunoprecipitation (CLIP) studies.…”

“…However, most HCV infections remain inapparent [5,6], and the virus infection can become chronic in about 60% to 70 % of all infections [7], often without being noticed. Chronic infection can, in the long run, result in liver cirrhosis and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) [8][9][10], while a metabolic reprogramming of the infected cells according to the "Warburg effect" like in cancer cells can be observed only a few days after the onset of HCV replication [11]. Moreover, inapparent replication of the virus usually results in unnoticed spread of the virus to other individuals, a fact that is a major challenge for surveillance, health care, and treatment [12].…”

“…We have found that levels of lactic acid were increased after 12 hpi (Figs 2 & 4, S1A File), indicative of a Warburg effect. Growing evidence support the idea that many DNA viruses (human papillomavirus, HCMV, EBV, KSHV, human adenovirus), but also single-stranded RNA viruses (poliovirus, dengue virus, hepatitis C virus, influenza virus) exploit aerobic glycolysis [1,3,48,49].…”

“…Metabolism node showed also a higher functional node activity in Covid-19 patients than in healthy controls. The increase in glycolysis reactions implies an increase in Krebs cycle reactions as well and therefore in ATP production, essential for the virus replication [10, 11]. The differences on the metabolism functional node suggested that a deeper analysis of metabolism, as Flux Balance Analysis, could supply more detail information.…”
