Methods for treating hepatitis b and d virus infection |
abstract |
In the present invention, a combination of computational and experimental approaches was used to unravel the main determinants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) membrane fusion process. They discovered that ERp57 is a host factor critically involved in triggering HBV fusion and infection. Then, through modelling approaches, they uncovered a putative allosteric cross-strand disulfide (CSD) bond in the HBV S glycoprotein and demonstrate that its stabilization could prevent membrane fusion. These results underscore a membrane fusion mechanism that could be triggered by ERp57, allowing a thiol/disulfide exchange reaction to occur and regulate isomerization of a critical CSD, which ultimately leads to the exposition of the fusion peptide. Finally, targeting ERp57 with a pharmacological agent or with oligo antisense approach in a infection assay with human cell line (with HDV and HBV particle) induced a strongly decrease the level of HBV and HDV infection. Furthermore, these results were confirmed in vivo in a liver humanized mice (HuHep mice) and inhibition of ERp57 with a pharmacological agent prevent HBV propagation and infection. Accordingly, the present invention relates to an inhibitor of ERp57 for use in the treatment of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection said inhibitor said ERp57 inhibitor inhibit the virus entry by membrane fusion. |
