Immunocytochemistry was used to confirm the successful transient transfection of NS5A expression plasmid. Immunofluorescene was performed to observe if there was any difference in IFNα-induced STAT1 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation between HCV NSSA-expressed and non-HCV NSSA-expressed cells. Western blot was used to compare the phosphorylated STAT1 protein of the cells.RESULTS： Expression of HCV NS5A was found in the cytoplasm of pCNS5A-transfected Huh7 cells, but not in the PRC/ CMV transfected or non-transfected cells, STAT1 Tyr701 phosphorylation was found strongest in 30 min of IFN induction, STAT1 phosphorylation and nuclear import were much less in the presence of HCV NS5A protein in contrast to pRC/CMV-transfected and non-transfected cells under fluorescent microscopy, which was further confirmed by Western blot.CONCLUSION： HCV NSSA expression plasmid is successfully transfected into Huh7 cells and HCV NS5A protein is expressed in the cytoplasm of the cells. IFN-α is able to induce STAT1 phosphrylation and nuclear translocation, and this effect is inhibited by HCV NS5A protein, which might be another possible resistance mechanism to interferon alpha therapy.展开更多

Protein kinases transfer a phosphate from ATP to a specific residue（s）, typically at serine, threonine, or tyrosine, in proteins, while phosphatases remove phosphoryl groups from proteins. Such a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle can be regarded as a molecular ＂on-off＂ switch. It is estimated that the human genome contains over 2,000 kinases and 1,000 phosphatases. A very large number of protein kinases has been identified and studied in detail, and more and more, information concerning protein phosphatases has emerged recently.展开更多
