Hepatitis C virus (HCV) directly induces oxidative stress and liver injury. Bach1, a zipper (bZip) mammalian transcriptional repressor, negatively regulates heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1), a key cytoprotective enzyme that has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. microRNAs are small non-coding RNAs (~22 nt) that are important regulators of gene expression. Whether and how microRNAs regulate Bach1 or HCV are largely unknown. The aims of this study were to determine whether miR-196 regulates Bach1, HMOX1, and/or HCV gene expression. HCV replicon cell lines (Con1 and 9-13) of the Con1 isolate and J6/JFH1-based HCV cell culture system were used in this study. The effects of miR-196 mimic on Bach1, HMOX1 and HCV RNA and protein levels were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blots, respectively. The Dual Glo™ Luciferase Assay System was used to determine reporter activities. miR-196 mimic significantly down-regulated Bach1 and up-regulated HMOX1 gene expression, and inhibited HCV expression. Dual luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that transfection of miR-196 mimic resulted in a significant decrease in Bach1 3′-UTR-dependent luciferase activity but not in mutant Bach1 3′-UTR-dependent luciferase activity. Moreover, there was no detectable effect of mutant miR-196 on Bach1 3′-UTR-dependent luciferase activity. miR-196 directly acts on the 3′-UTR of Bach1 mRNA and translationally represses the expression of this protein, and up-regulates HMOX1. miR-196 also inhibits HCV expression in HCV replicon cell lines (genotype 1b) and in J6/JFH1 (genotype 2a) HCV cell culture system. Thus, miR-196 plays a role in both HMOX1/Bach1 expression and the regulation of HCV expression in human hepatocytes. Over-expression of miR-196 holds promise as a potential novel strategy to prevent or ameliorate hepatitis C infection, and to protect against liver injury in chronic HCV infection.
