Abstract

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) Infection remains a serious global health concern. Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used to treat various cancers. However, HBV-infected patients receiving chemotherapy are at risk of HBV reactivation via unknown mechanisms, which we aimed to elucidate in this study. We found that Autophagy plays a central role in cisplatin-induced HBV replication. Cisplatin treatment induced Autophagy in both HBV-replicating cells and an HBV-transgenic mouse model as evident from marked upregulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 LIGHT chain 3 (LC3)-II and the accumulation of red fluorescent protein (RFP)-LC3 puncta. Cisplatin induced complete autophagic flux, which was detected via monitoring of p62 degradation and RFP-GFP-LC3 expression. Inhibition of Autophagy by chloroquine, 3-methyladenine, or Atg5 knockdown significantly attenuated cisplatin-induced HBV replication. Additionally, cisplatin-induced Autophagy could be significantly attenuated by using the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine. Mechanically, cisplatin promoted HBV replication and Autophagy through ROS/JNK and Akt/mTOR signaling. Inhibition of JNK or activation of Akt/mTOR signaling reversed cisplatin-mediated Autophagy and HBV replication promotion. In contrast, suppression of Akt/mTOR signaling further promoted cisplatin-induced HBV replication. Finally, pharmacotherapeutic inhibition of Autophagy or ROS production impaired HBV production induced by cisplatin in vivo. Together, our results indicate that ROS/JNK and mTOR/AKT-mediated Autophagy plays an important role in cisplatin-induced HBV reactivation.
