description | (1) Background: Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) functions as a key receptor for the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Analyzing HBV and NTCP interaction is an important issue not only for basic research but also for the development of anti-HBV therapeutics. We developed here a novel model system to analyze the interaction of NTCP with liposomes instead of HBV. (2) Methods: Liposomal binding and endocytosis through NTCP in HEK293T cells were achieved by serial treatments of HEL293T cells transiently expressing NTCP-green fluorescence protein (GFP) fusion protein with a synthetic biotinylated pre-S1 peptide (Myr47-Bio) and streptavidin (SA) complex (i.e., Myr47-Bio+SA) followed by biotinylated liposomes. By this procedure, binding of [biotinylated liposomes]-[Myr47-Bio+SA]-[NTCP-GFP] was formed. (3) Results: Using this model system, we found that liposomal binding to NTCP on the cell surface via Myr47-Bio+SA was far more efficient than that to scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1). Furthermore, liposomes bound to cell surface NTCP via Myr47-Bio+SA were endocytosed into cells after cells were cultured at 37 °C. However, this endocytosis was suppressed by 4 °C or cytochalasin B treatment. (4) Conclusions: This model system will be useful for not only analyzing HBV entry mechanisms but also screening substances to prevent HBV infection. |
