Abstract:
Objective To analyze the effect of single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) rs8099917 of interleukin-28B ( IL-28B) on spontaneous virus clearance and the efficacy of antiviral therapy in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients in Huzhou area of Zhejiang Province.Methods A total of 268 HCV-infected patients were enrolled.The high sensitive HCV RNA quantification , HCV genotype and the IL-28B rs8099917 SNP were detected at baseline.One hundred and sixty-three patients received pegylated interferon α-2a ( Peg-IFNα-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) combined antiviral therapy (referred as PR treatment) for 48 weeks, who were followed up for 24 weeks.The remaining 44 patients were treated with sofosbuvir and daclatasvir for 12 weeks. The virological response of patients with different IL-28B rs8099917 genotypes was monitored.The count data was compared by χ2 test.Results The distributions of IL-28B rs8099917 SNP were 84.33%for TT genotype and 15.67%for GT genotype, while the GG genotype was not detected.Of the 135 patients with acute HCV infection, 61 cases had spontaneous viral clearance , 74 cases were converted to chronic infection.The spontaneous clearance rates were 47.11% for TT genotype and 28.57% for GT genotype.There was no significant difference of the spontaneous clearance rate between TT and GT genotype (χ2 ＝1.072, P＝0.30). In 163 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with PR treatment, the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) after 24 weeks follow-up was 86.50%(141 cases).SVR rate in patients with TT genotype was significantly higher than those with GT genotype (91.67%vs 47.36%, χ2 ＝28.212, P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference of the SVR rates between genotype 1b and 2a (χ2 ＝1.525, P＞0.05).In 44 patients received sofosbuvir and daclatasvir treatment , both SVR rates of TT genotype and GT genotype were 100%. Conclusions In Huzhou area of Zhejiang Province , there is no significant correlation between IL-28B rs8099917 genotype and spontaneous clearance in patients with acute HCV infection , but the genotype of IL-28B rs8099917 is valuable for the prediction of PR treatment efficacy , the SVR rate of the TT genotype is superior to the GT genotype.The SVR rate can reach 100% in patients received combination therapy of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir independent of polymorphism of IL-28B.
