Hepatitis C virus (HCV) exposure leads to persistent life-long infections characterized by chronic inflammation often developing into cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The mechanism by which HCV remains in the liver while inducing an inflammatory and antiviral response remains unclear. While the innate immune response to HCV in patients seem to be quite active, HCV has been shown in cell culture to employ a diverse array of innate immune antagonists, suggesting that current model systems to study interactions between HCV and the innate immune system are not representative of what is happening in vivo. We recently showed that hepatoma-derived HepG2 cells support the entire HCV life cycle if the liver-specific microRNA miR-122 is expressed along with the entry factor CD81 (HepG2-HFL cells). We found that there was a striking difference in these cells’ ability to sustain HCV infection and spread when compared to Huh-7 and Huh-7.5 cells. Additionally, HepG2-HFL cells produced a more robust antiviral response when challenged with other RNA viruses and viral mimetics than Huh-7 and Huh-7.5 cells. HCV infection elicited a potent IFN-λ (lambda), ISG, and cytokine response in HepG2-HFL cells, but not in Huh-7 cells, suggesting that HepG2-HFL cells more faithfully recapitulate the innate immune response to HCV infection in vivo. Using this new model, we found that blocking the RIG-I like receptor pathway or the IFN-λ signaling pathway, promoted HCV infection and spread in HepG2-HFL cells. HepG2-HFL cells represent a promising new system to study the interaction between HCV and the innate immune system, solidifying the importance of IFN-λ in hepatic response to HCV infection and revealing non-redundant roles of RIG-I and MDA5 in HCV recognition and repression of infection.
