Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and interleukin-17 (IL-17)and study the roles in the pathogenesis of chronic severe hepatitis B.MethodsTwenty patients of acute on chronic liver failure were collected from the infection disease in-patients department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College,Zhejiang University from 2009 to 2010,and 40 health controls were from medical examination center during the same period.Meanwhile,Balb/C mice were used for ConA injection to induce fulminant hepatitis and the plasma,serum and liver tissue of mice were collected.OPN and IL-17concentrations were measured using ELISA kits.PBMC were separated and cultured with anti-TNF-α or TNF-α.Supernatants were collected for analysis of OPN and IL-17.Differences between groups were evaluated by using a Student's t test and the relationship between IL-17 and OPN were evaluated by Pearson correlation.ResultsIn chronic severe hepatitis B group,levels of OPN and IL-17 were markedly higher than those of healthy control,respectively.(42.4 ± 12.9 vs 10.6 ±4.8 pg/ml; 1460.1 ±523.1 vs 472.8 ±67.5 ng/ml) ( t =2.387,3.570,P ＜ 0.05).The level of OPN in blood and liver reached peak at 6 hours at 12 hours after ConA injection,respectively.The level of IL-17 in blood and liver was significantly increased after ConA injection.IL-17 were positive correlated with OPN levels (R2 =0.582,P =0.026).TNF-α can increase the level of OPN secreted by lymphocytes.ConclusionsOPN and IL-17 levels in peripheral blood of hepatitis B patients are closely related to the hepatitis B degree.TNF-α can increase the level of OPN secreted by lymphocytes.
