dc.description.abstract | Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been related to increased risk of development of hepa tocellular carcinoma (HCC) while metformin (M) and statins treatment seemed to protect
against HCC development. In this work, we aim to identify the mechanisms by which metfor min and simvastatin (S) could protect from liver cancer. Huh7.5 cells were infected with
HCV particles and treated with M+S. Human primary hepatocytes were treated with M+S.
Treatment with both drugs inhibited Huh7.5 cell growth and HCV infection. In non-infected
cells S increased translational controlled tumor protein (TCTP) and phosphatase and tensin
homolog (PTEN) proteins while M inhibited mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and
TCTP. Simvastatin and metformin co-administered down-regulated mTOR and TCTP, while
PTEN was increased. In cells infected by HCV, mTOR, TCTP, p62 and light chain 3B II
(LC3BII) were increased and PTEN was decreased. S+M treatment increased PTEN, p62
and LC3BII in Huh7.5 cells. In human primary hepatocytes, metformin treatment inhibited
mTOR and PTEN, but up-regulated p62, LC3BII and Caspase 3. In conclusion, simvastatin
and metformin inhibited cell growth and HCV infection in vitro. In human hepatocytes, met formin increased cell-death markers. These findings suggest that M+S treatment could be
useful in therapeutic prevention of HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma. | es |
