Background & Aims: HCV relies on host lipid metabolism to complete its life cycle and HCV core is crucial to this interaction. Liver secreted ANGPTL-3 is an LXR-and HNF-1 alpha-regulated protein, which plays a key role in lipid metabolism by increasing plasma lipids via inhibition of lipase enzymes. Here we aimed to investigate the modulation of ANGPTL-3 by HCV core and identify the molecular mechanisms involved. Methods: qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to assess ANGPTL-3 mRNA and protein levels in HCV patients, the JFH-1 infectious system and liver cell lines. Transfections, chromatin immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence delineated parts of the molecular mechanisms implicated in the core-mediated regulation of ANGPTL-3 gene expression. Results: ANGPTL-3 gene expression was decreased in HCV-infected patients and the JFH-1 infectious system. mRNA and promoter activity levels were down-regulated by core. The response was lost when an HNF-1 alpha element in ANGPTL-3 promoter was mutated, while loss of HNF-1 alpha DNA binding to this site was recorded in the presence of HCV core. HNF-1 alpha mRNA and protein levels were not altered by core. However, trafficking between nucleus and cytoplasm was observed and then blocked by an inhibitor of the HNF-1 alpha-specific kinase Mirk/Dyrk1B. Transactivation of LXR/RXR signalling could not restore coremediated down-regulation of ANGPTL-3 promoter activity. Conclusions: ANGPTL-3 is negatively regulated by HCV in vivo and in vitro. HCV core represses ANGPTL-3 expression through loss of HNF-1 alpha binding activity and blockage of LXR/RXR transactivation. The putative ensuing increase in serum lipid clearance and uptake by the liver may sustain HCV virus replication and persistence. (C) 2013 European Association for the Study of the Liver.
