Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of treating cells infected with HCV and mammals suffering from HCV infection by transfecting the infected cells with miRNA-196 mimic. miRNA-196 mimic significantly down-regulates Bach1 protein and HCV gene expression, while also up-regulating HMOX1 gene expression. miRNA-196 binds with the 3'-UTR of Bach1 mRNA to reduce the expression of Bach1. As such, miRNA-196 can play an important role in the regulation of HCV  replication and HMOX1/Bach1 expression in hepatocytes. The present invention also provides a formulation for the treatment of cells expressing HCV comprising a therapeutically effective amount of miRNA-196 such that Bach1 and HCV gene expression are down- regulated while HMOX1 expression is increased. The formulations are adapted to enable the transfection of miRNA-196 mimic into hepatocytes expressing HCV proteins.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying, selecting and obtaining mammalian cells that are capable of producing proteinaceous molecules comprising predetermined post-translational modifications, wherein said post-translational modifications are brought about by the mammalian cell in which the proteinaceous molecule is expressed.  Preferably, said predetermined post-translational modifications comprise glycosylation. The invention further provides methods for obtaining and producing proteinaceous molecules, using mammalian cells obtainable by a method of the present invention. Preferably said proteinaceous molecules comprise erythropoietin (EPO), since the effect of (recombinant) EPO depends heavily on the glycosylation pattern of the oligosaccharides present on the protein.  Mammalian cells that have been obtained on the basis of their ability to produce proteins and/or post-translational modifications that are indicative for a predetermined post-translational modification that is desired are also provided. Preferably, said mammalian cells have neural characteristics and properties such that significant amounts of recombinant proteins can be produced that harbor 'neural- or brain-type' properties.
