Role of GSPT1 and GSPT2 polymorphisms in different outcomes upon Hepatitis B virus infection and prognosis to lamivudine therapy.

ABSTRACT: Purpose.ERF3, having been found expressing differently in liver tissues in our previous work, including eRF3a and eRF3b, which are structural homologs named GSPT1 and GSPT2 Recent studies have indicated that eRF3b involved in the development and proliferation of HepG2 cell, and eRF3a may be associated with tumor susceptibility. Based on this, we tested the effects of GSPT1 and GSPT2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms for all major Hepatitis B virus (HBV) outcomes and lamivudine (LAM) treatment in Han Chinese. Method. A total of 1649 samples were enrolled, and peripheral blood samples were collected in the present study. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the GSPT1 and GSPT2 region were genotyped using MALDI-TOF MS. Results. Our study demonstrated there was no obvious relevance of either GSPT1-rs33635 or GSPT2-rs974285 polymorphisms with HBV susceptibility, spontaneous recovery, and development of HBV-related diseases. However, we showed for the first time to our knowledge that GSPT1-rs33635C was a predictor for LAM therapy (viral response: odds ratio (OR) = 2.436, P=0.022; biochemical response: OR = 3.328, P=1.73 × 10^-4). Conclusions. These findings might provide potential implications for therapeutic guidance.

Project description:PURPOSE: This study aimed to clarify the long-term efficacy of the lamivudine treatment in Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B either with or without lamivudine resistance or with or without adefovir add-on treatment. METHODS: We followed 110 patients who received lamivudine for more than 12 months, including 67 hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive and 43 HBeAg-negative patients. RESULTS: The median follow-up after the onset of lamivudine was 48 (range = 12-86) months. In all the patients with or without lamivudine resistance, the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization decreased from 70.0% at 1 year to 36.4% at 5 years and the loss of serum HBV DNA level decreased from 72.7% at 1 year to 31.8% at 5 years. Sixty patients (54.6%) developed a lamivudine-resistant mutation, and this occurrence was more frequently observed in those who were HBeAg-positive (P < 0.01), those with a low level of ALT (P < 0.05), and those with a high level of serum HBV DNA (P < 0.01). Thirty-six of 60 patients received adefovir in addition to lamivudine to treat breakthrough hepatitis. A Cox proportional hazards model analysis revealed the level of baseline HBV DNA to be the best predictive factor for the virus recrudescence (risk ratio = 0.466, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.246-0.842, P = 0.011) and the breakthrough hepatitis (risk ratio = 0.444, 95% CI: 0.218-0.879, P = 0.019). We carefully monitored the efficacy of this treatment both in patients who received adefovir and in those who did not since the beginning of the lamivudine treatment. The normalization level of ALT was 61.4% at 5 years and the loss of serum HBV DNA was 61.4% at 5 years since lamivudine was started. A histologic improvement was observed in patients with ALT levels less than two times the upper limit of normal at the time of a second liver biopsy. CONCLUSIONS: Although the efficacy of lamivudine is limited because of breakthrough hepatitis, adefovir was used as a salvage treatment of patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B. In addition, lamivudine was used for the treatment of Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B with or without lamivudine resistance, and was found to be useful regarding the long-term virologic and biochemical responses.

Project description:BackgroundRecurrence of Hepatitis B Virus infection in patients undergoing liver transplanted (LT) is a serious and often fatal problem. Lamivudine (LAM) and Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin (HBIG) are widely used to manage hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation. However, the outcomes in patients are less elucidated.ObjectivesThe current study aimed to evaluate the YMDD motif mutations profile among the patients undergoing LT infected with HBV and treated with LAM/HBIG at least for one year.Patients and methodsThirty patients with liver transplantation due to HBV were enrolled, while DNA level remained under detection limit of 50 IU/mL before transplantation and abnormal higher levels of liver enzymes after LT. The HBV genome detection was performed by two different Polymerase Chain Reaction methods following viral quantification by commercial Real-Time PCR. HbsAg detection, besides liver function tests were conducted as complementary assays. To assess nucleotide analogue mutations, the major part of polymerase gene (aa 80 - 240) was amplified by Nested-PCR, introduced to sequencing and subjected to phylogenetic analysis.ResultsTotally, according to the laboratory criteria there were 13 cases with detectable HBV genome, while the mean liver enzyme levels were higher in recurrent patients and HBsAg was detected only in four out of the 13 cases. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that all isolated genomes belonged to genotype D. Critical M204I mutation, as a proof for resistance to LAM, was detected among 46% of the subjects and natural entecavir resistance (S202I) was also distinguished in one subject. Viral quantification showed higher titer in LAM resistant group in comparison to the group with undetectable drug resistance mutant (P > 0.05).ConclusionsAlthough the patients carrying M204I mutation were more likely to show lack of responses to LAM therapy, LAM replacing by other nucleoside/tide analogs plus HBIG maybe still effective in decreasing hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation. However, it is suggested that drug resistance test should be considered by clinicians during therapeutic management to avoid the following viral breakthrough.
