Objective: To explore the expression level of peripheral blood Th1/Th2 type cytokines of chronic hepatitis b (CHB) patients in the entecavir (ETV) antiviral treatment, analyze the relationship between various cytokines, and the correlation among of cytokines and HBV DNA loads. Methods: Luminex Liquid Chip Technology was applied to detect the peripheral blood Th1/Th2 type cytokines expression level of CHB patients; At the same time, liver function was detected by Fully Automatic Biochemical Analyzer; HBV DNA loads were detected by PCR Method; Hepatitis b virology markers were detected by Chemiluminescence Method. F-test and Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: Before ETV antiviral treatment, peripheral blood Th1 cytokines IFN gamma expression level in patients with CHB increased significantly (P = 0.010) compared with the healthy control group while TNF alpha expression level having no statistically significant difference (P = 0.095); Th2 type cytokines IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 levels decreased obviously (P = 0.039, P = 0.014, P = 0.026) compared with those in the control group. After 48 weeks of treatment, Th1 cytokines IFN gamma and TNF alpha expression levels were reduced significantly (19.2±5.03 pg/ml vs 24.69±6.51 pg/ml, and 6.09±4.99 pg/ml vs 9.50±7.34 pg/ml, P < 0.001, and P = 0.016) compared with that before treatment; Th2 type cytokines IL-4, IL-6 expression level increased significantly (33.86±22.47 pg/ml vs 21.32±12.84 pg/ml, and 11.65±6.91 pg/ml vs 8.51±4.94 pg/ml, P = 0.004, and P = 0.029) compared with that before treatment while IL-10 expression level having no statistical significance (P = 0.081). There was disorder and irregularity in the correlation between the levels of Th1/Th2 type cytokines. And there was no correlation between the various cytokines and HBV DNA loads in patients with CHB. Conclusion ETV can not only inhibit HBV DNA replication, reducing HBV DNA loads, but also contribute to regulate Th1/Th2 type cytokines expression level in patients with CHB, but there was no correlation between the levels of various cytokines, various cytokines and HBV DNA loads.
