Oltipraz is currently being considered for clinical trial to protect against aflatoxin B1-induced hepatocarcinogenesis based on its proven protective effect in many different animal models. In addition, oltipraz inhibits human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. The inactivation of reverse transcriptase of HIV appears to be the antiviral mechanism. It has been demonstrated that a number of compounds that inhibit HIV replication also inhibit HBV replication in vitro. Therefore, we tested the possibility of oltipraz blocking HBV replication in 2.2.15 cells (clonal cells derived from HepG2 cells that were transfected with a plasmid containing HBV DNA) in vitro. Results of the experiments indicate that oltipraz has a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on HBV replication and specifically blocks HBV transcription in 2.2.15 cells. In addition, oltipraz induces endogenous wild-type p53 protein in a dose- and time-course-dependent manner. Taken together, we speculate that the effects of oltipraz against replication of HBV and specific blocking of HBV transcription may be through the induction of p53-mediated pathway in 2.2.15 cells. In addition to its known chemopreventive action on aflatoxin B1 hepatocarcinogenesis, oltipraz was shown here to inhibit HBV replication. These dual effects put oltipraz as the excellent candidate for the chemopreventive agent of human hepatocellular carcinoma. |
