Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have gained much attention as cellular factors regulating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. miR-27b has been shown to regulate HCV infection in the hepatocytes via various mechanisms that have not been fully elucidated. In this study, therefore, we examined the mechanisms of miR-27b-mediated regulation of HCV infection. Methods: In silico screening analysis, transfection with miR-27b mimic, and a cell-based reporter assay were performed to identify miR-27b target genes. Cell cultured-derived HCV (HCVcc) was added to Huh7.5.1 cells knocked down for aquaporin (AQP) 11 (AQP11) and overexpressing AQP11. HCV replication levels were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR analysis of HCVcc genome. Results: Infection of Huh7.5.1 cells with HCVcc resulted in significant elevation in miR-27b expression levels. In silico analysis revealed that AQP11, which is an AQP family member and is mainly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), was a candidate for a target gene of miR-27b. Transfection of a miR-27b mimic significantly reduced AQP11 expression, but a cell-based reporter assay demonstrated that miR-27b did not suppress the expression of a reporter gene containing the 3′-untranslated region of the AQP11 gene, suggesting that miR-27b indirectly suppressed AQP11 expression. AQP11 expression levels were significantly reduced by infection with HCVcc in Huh7.5.1 cells. Knockdown and over-expression of AQP11 significantly reduced and increased HCVcc genome levels in the cells following infection, respectively, however, AQP11 knockdown did not show significant effects on the HCVcc titers in the culture supernatants. Conclusions: These results indicated that HCV infection induced a miR-27b-mediated reduction in AQP11 expression, leading to a modest reduction in HCV genome levels in the cells, not HCV titers in the culture supernatants.
