12	Oxidative Stress Induces Mitochondrial Compromise in CD4 T Cells From Chronically HCV-Infected Individuals Schank, Madison B., Zhao, Juan, Wang, Ling, Nguyen, Lam N., Cao, Dechao, Dang, Xindi, Khanal, Sushant, Zhang, Jinyu, Zhang, Yi, Wu, Xiao Y., Ning, Shunbin, Elgazzar, Mohamed A., Moorman, Jonathan P., Yao, Zhi Q. 01 January 2021 (has links) We have previously shown that chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can induce DNA damage and immune dysfunctions with excessive oxidative stress in T cells. Furthermore, evidence suggests that HCV contributes to increased susceptibility to metabolic disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms by which HCV infection impairs cellular metabolism in CD4 T cells remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated mitochondrial mass and intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by flow cytometry, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content by real-time qPCR, cellular respiration by seahorse analyzer, and dysregulated mitochondrial-localized proteins by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) in CD4 T cells from chronic HCV-infected individuals and health subjects. Mitochondrial mass was decreased while intracellular and mitochondrial ROS were increased, expressions of master mitochondrial regulators peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor 1 alpha (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA) were down-regulated, and oxidative stress was increased while mitochondrial DNA copy numbers were reduced. Importantly, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockdown of mtTFA impaired cellular respiration and reduced mtDNA copy number. Furthermore, proteins responsible for mediating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and mtDNA maintenance were significantly altered in HCV-CD4 T cells. These results indicate that mitochondrial functions are compromised in HCV-CD4 T cells, likely the deregulation of several mitochondrial regulatory proteins. adult aged CD4-positive t-lymphocytes (immunology) DNA mitochondrial female hepatitis c chronic (immunology) humans male middle aged mitochondria (genetics immunology) oxidative stress reactive oxygen species (immunology) young adult mtDNA mtTFA HCV mitochondrial respiration oxidative stress Internal Medicine
