Project description:Risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains after sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Epigenetic abnormalities might be key regulators in the development of HCC. This study aimed to identify the genes involved in hepatocarcinogenesis after SVR. DNA methylation in liver tissues was compared between 21 CHC patients without HCC and 28 CHC patients with HCC, all of whom had achieved SVR. Through additional comparisons with 23 CHC patients before treatment and 10 normal livers, we found that the several genes were methylated and demethylated by HCV infection and the development of HCC after achieving SVR.

Project description:Approximately 50% of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) have a sustained virologic response (SVR) to treatment with pegylated interferon (pegINF)-α and ribavirin. Non-response to treatment is associated with constitutively increased expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in the liver. Treatment of patients with acute hepatitis C (AHC) is more effective, with SVR rates >90%. We investigated mechanisms of the different responses of patients with CHC and AHC to pegIFN-α therapy. We analyzed IFN signaling and ISG expression in liver samples from patients with acute hepatitis C (AHC), patients with chronic hepatitis (CHC), and individuals without hepatitis C (controls) using microarray, immunohistochemical, and protein analyses. Findings were compared with those from primary human hepatocytes stimulated with IFN-α or IFN-γ, as reference sets. Expression levels of 100s of genes, primarily those regulated by IFN-γ, were altered in liver samples from patients with AHC compared with controls. Expression of IFN-γ–stimulated genes was induced in liver samples from patients with AHC, whereas expression of IFN-α–stimulated genes was induced in samples from patients with CHC. In an expression analysis of negative regulators of IFN-α signaling, we did not observe differences in expression of SOCS1 or SOCS3 between liver samples from patients with AHC and those with CHC. However, USP18 (another negative regulator of IFN-α signaling), was upregulated in liver samples of patients with CHC that did not respond to therapy, but not in AHC. In conclusion, differences in expression of ISGs might account for the greater response of patients with AHC, compared to those with CHC, to treatment with pegINF-α and ribavirin. Specifically, USP18 is upregulated in liver samples of patients with CHC that do not respond to therapy, but not in patients with AHC. (Interferon-γ Stimulated Genes, but not USP18, are Expressed in Livers of Patients with Acute Hepatitis C; Dill MT, Makowska Z et al, Gastroenterology 2012 (in press)) Primary human hepatocytes from 2 donors were analyzed. From each donor there are 5 samples: untreated cells, cells treated with interferon alpha (1000 IU/ml) for 6 and 24 hours and cells treated with interferon gamma (1000 IU/ml) for 6 and 24 hours.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is now routinely treated with interferon (IFN)-free regimens composed of directly acting antiviral (DAA) agents. Changes in hepatic and peripheral innate and adaptive immune function during DAA therapy associate with achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR). The present study explored the impact of cirrhosis on host endogenous interferon pathways during DAA therapy. mRNA and micro-RNA (miRNA) expression profiling was performed on paired pre- and end-of-treatment (EOT) liver biopsies from subjects treated with a 2 DAA regimen (sofosbuvir/ledipasvir [SOF/LDV]) for 12 weeks (n=4, 3 with cirrhosis) or a 3 DAA regimen (SOF/LDV with GS-9669 or GS-9451) for 6 weeks (n=6, 0 with cirrhosis). Nine of ten subjects achieved SVR, with one relapse in the GS-9669 treatment arm (ISHAK fibrosis 4). Hepatic interferon-stimulated gene expression was down-regulated in the liver of all subjects, with no observable impact of cirrhosis or duration of treatment. Hepatic down-regulation of all type-III IFNs was observed (IFNL1, IFNL2, IFNL3, IFNL4-ΔG), while IFNA2 expression, undetectable in all subjects pre-treatment, was detected in 3 of 9 subjects at EOT (all 3 achieved SVR). Only the subject who relapsed had detectable IFNL4-ΔG expression in EOT liver. No change in IFNB1, IFNG, or IFNA5 expression was observed, and expression of other type-I IFNs (IFNA1, IFNA4, IFNA5, IFNA6, IFNA8, IFNA16, IFNA17) was not detected pre- or post-treatment. While expression of multiple miRNAs changed in liver tissue over the course of treatment, most miRNAs previously associated with HCV replication, innate interferon signaling, and hepatic fibrosis did not change significantly. Conclusions: Changes in the host IFN-response during DAA therapy associate with favorable treatment outcome regardless of composition and duration of therapy or extent of hepatic fibrosis.

Project description:This dataset is part of the paper: Pegylated interferon-α regulates hepatic gene expression by transient activation of the Jak-STAT pathway; Dill MT et al; Journal of Clinical Investigation; in review Pegylated interferon-α (pegIFN-α) has replaced un-modified recombinant IFN-α for the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis because of its superior anti-viral efficacy that is generally attributed to improved pharmacokinetic properties. However, the pharmacodynamic effects of pegIFN-α in the liver have not been studied. We analyzed pegIFN-α induced signaling and gene regulation in paired liver biopsies obtained before treatment and during the first week after injection of pegIFN-α in 18 patients. Despite sustained high serum concentrations of pegIFN-α over the entire one-week dosing interval, IFN-α signaling through the Jak-STAT pathway occurs only during the first day. PegIFN-α induces hundreds of genes that can be classified into 4 clusters based on different temporal expression profiles. In all clusters, gene transcription is mainly driven by IFN stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3). IFN induced secondary transcription factors do not cause additional waves of gene expression. We could not confirm a role of un-phosphorylated STAT1 in prolonging IFN-α induced gene transcription. Collectively, our results reveal that the major effects of pegIFN-α in the liver are caused by an early and transient activation of ISGF3. Prolonging the serum half-life of IFN-α does not necessarily improve its pharmacodynamic properties. Paired liver biopsy samples were collected before and during the first week of pegylated interferon alpha treatment of 21 chronic hepatitis C patients. Total: 21 patients and 42 samples. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Expression data from NIH-3T3 cells treated with mock, 100 U/ml IFN alpha or 100 U/ml gamma for 1 or 3h on nt-RNA labeled for 30-60 min at different times of interferon treatment; Differential gene expression caused by IFN alpha or gamma was analyzed in newly transcribed RNA (nt-RNA) of NIH-3T3 cells treated for 1 or 3 h. RNA was labeled for 30 to 60 min and separated from total cellular RNA (tc-RNA) following Trizol RNA preparation and thiol-specific biotinylation; We used microarrays to analyze the effects of IFNalpha and gamma treatment in newly transcribed RNA (nt-RNA) Experiment Overall Design: NIH-3T3 cells (5th to 15th passage after thawing) were split 24 h before start of the experiment. When starting the experiment 80% confluency was reached. The experiment was started by applying fresh, prewarmed, CO2-equilibrated medium containing either mock, 100U/ml IFN alpha or 100 U/ml IFN gamma. Labeling was either started simultaneously, 30 or 150 minutes later.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronically infects 170 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of liver-related mortality due to hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis1. Standard-of-care treatment is shifting from interferon-alpha (IFNM-NM-1)-based to IFNM-NM-1-free directly acting antiviral (DAA) regimens, which demonstrate improved efficacy and tolerability in clinical trials2,3. Virologic relapse after completion of DAA therapy is a common cause of treatment failure, although mechanisms are unclear2,3. We conducted a clinical trial using the DAA sofosbuvir with ribavirin (SOF/RBV)4, and report here detailed mRNA expression analysis of pre- and end-of-treatment (EOT) liver biopsies and blood samples. On-treatment viral clearance was accompanied by rapid down-regulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in liver and blood. Analysis of paired liver biopsies from patients who achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR) revealed that viral clearance was accompanied by decreased expression of ISGs, IFNG, and IFNLs, but increased expression of IFNA2. Patients who achieved SVR had higher expression of a hepatic type-I interferon gene signature in unpaired EOT liver biopsies than patients who later relapsed. Together, these results support a model whereby restoration of type-I intrahepatic interferon signaling at the EOT is associated with sustained hepatic HCV suppression and prevention of relapse upon withdrawal of SOF/RBV.
