Project description:The natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could be divided in different phases by transaminase and HBV replication levels. However, it remains unknown how the intrahepatic transcriptomes in patients are correlated with the clinical phases. Here, we determined the intrahepatic transcriptomes of chronic hepatitis B patients and examined the role of specific groups of genes, including immune-related genes, in the control of hepatitis B virus infection.

Project description:The natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could be divided in different phases by transaminase and HBV replication levels. However, it remains unknown how the intrahepatic transcriptomes in patients are correlated with the clinical phases. Here, we determined the intrahepatic transcriptomes of chronic hepatitis B patients and examined the role of specific groups of genes, including immune-related genes, in the control of hepatitis B virus infection. The transcriptomes of 83 chronic hepatitis B patients (22 immune tolerant, 50 immune clearance, and 11 inactive carrier state) were analyzed by performing microarray analysis of liver biopsies.KEGG pathway analysis showed that immune response genes and interferon-stimulated genes were up-regulated in the immune clearance phase. Although immune tolerant patients and inactive state carriers had significantly different serum viral loads, the hepatic transcriptomes of the two groups were largely similar and only significantly differed in the expression of 109 genes (p < 0.01). Thus, we hypothesized that some of the 109 genes may be involved in HBV control and identified genes of interest by performing systematic screening using specific siRNAs. We showed that silencing candidate genes such as EVA1A resulted in significantly increased viral replication. Conversely, overexpression of candidate genes suppressed virus replication. Conclusions: The immune related pathways were up-regulated in the immune clearance phase but not in the inactive carrier phase. A number of host genes unrelated to immune pathways were expressed in the inactive carrier phase and these may participate in the control of hepatitis B virus replication, resulting in low viral replication. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant public health threat as new 1.75 million HCV infections emerged worldwide. The majority of these infections become persistently infected, while around 30 % spontaneously eliminate the virus. Clinical factors for viral clarification are related to HCV interaction with host immune system, but little is known about the consequences after HCV spontaneous resolution. These individuals are difficult to recruit and study as acute infection is usually asymptomatic, and they will not be identified unless it progress to chronic infection. The study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of these patients is crucial, as PBMCs are one of the main HCV extrahepatic reservoirs, and its transcriptional profile provide us information of innate and adaptive immune response against HCV infection. Our research shows novel insight on molecular consequences of spontaneous resolution after an acute HCV infection. 96 Individuals with different HCV exposure status were recruited: spontaneous resolved, chronic infected and healthy controls; and the microRNA profile of their PBMCs were analyzed. Our results indicate similar disruption of miRNA expression on HCV chronic patients and those who spontaneously clarified the infection, compared to control patients. The disrupted miRNAs formed a signature of 21 miRNAs that mainly regulate lipid metabolism. This is the first report showing miRNA profile similarities between chronic HCV patients and spontaneous resolved individuals. Thus, our results suggest that HCV infection promotes molecular alterations in PBMCs that will last longer after HCV spontaneous eradication. This evidences open up new prospects in the management of individuals who spontaneously clarified infection, as they should be monitored and followed to dismiss future HCV-related complications, such us liver diseases complications. The identified miRNA signature could be used as biomarker to monitor HCV fingerprint on HCV-exposed patients.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped, coated, non-cytopathic and hepatotropic partially double-stranded DNA virus in the family Hepadnaviridae genus Orthohepadnavirus. Despite significant progress in the availability of safe vaccines and antiviral therapies against HBV, it still affects approximately 257 million people worldwide and is responsible for about 887,000 deaths per year around the world [4]. HBV infection, which are associated with acute and chronic liver failure responses to viruses attacked the liver, can result in inactive carrier state, chronic hepatitis, or fulminant hepatitis and put them at high risk to develop advanced liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular cancer. Many viral factors, which could affect the disparity of clinical outcomes or disease prognosis during chronic HBV infection, have been reported in previous studies; among them, the viral genotype, as well as HBV mutations ascribing the virus to a certain phenotype, was reported to be the most important factor influencing viral pathogenesis, including the change of host immune recognition, the enhanced virulence with increased HBV replication and the facilitation of cell attachment or penetration.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis (HBV-LC) is susceptible to bacterial infections, which could lead to adverse prognosis in patients. MicroRNA (miRNA) is easily detected in peripheral blood and is involved in multiple liver diseases. This pilot study aimed to investigate the differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in the serum of patients with HBV-LC and bacterial infection, and to identify the potential biomarker. The clinical samples was collected, including four patients with HBV-LC and infection, four patients with HBV-LC without infection, four patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and four healthy controls. miRNA expression was analyzed by Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Array. A total of 385 DE miRNAs (upregulated, 160; downregulated, 225) were detected in patients with HBV-LC and infection compared with patients with HBV-LC without infection.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects close to 300 million individuals worldwide, representing one of the major etiological factors for the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). At the molecular level, the mechanisms behind chronic HBV infection are based on the persistence of the viral genome as an episomal structure termed covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), and the evasion of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Thus, it is considered that HBV cure will be a multi-layered combination approach of anti-viral and immune-boosting strategies. Although the development of potential HBV therapeutics has been hampered by the lack of suitable long-term infection models, the stark contrast between human and non-human primates regarding their immune responses and infection outcomes, represents an opportunity to identify the molecular mechanisms favoring HBV elimination. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the early transcriptomic changes associated with HBV exposure in human and macaque immune cell populations.
