OBJECTIVE: The RNA genome of hepatitis C virus varies considerably, especially within the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1), a domain located on the 5' end of the E2/NS1 envelope region. Our previous study has suggested there were greater numbers of quasispecies in the liver than in matched serum, independent of the viral load. However, the significance of this finding has not been examined extensively at genetic and serological levels. METHODS: By large scale cloning and sequencing, we studied the genetic complexity of HVR1 quasispecies in two selected patients with cirrhosis. The serum reactivity of peptides representing different HVR1 quasispecies isolated from these cases was also estimated by standard ELISA format. RESULTS: We found the same major (dominant and/or subdominant) viral quasispecies variants in serum and in the cirrhotic liver. Genetic analysis suggested that the evolutionary pressure on HVR1 was higher than on its flanking region in quasispecies derived from the liver, whereas this trend is attenuated in quasispecies from serum. The immunoreactivity to peptides representing different HVR1 quasispecies variants showed considerable cross-reactivity with heterologous sera, whereas the reactivity was strongest against the dominant HVR1 peptide over time in homologous sera. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that the formation and selection of HVR1 quasispecies may not be driven solely by humoral immune pressure, at least in these two cases.  相似文献

Alcohol abuse is described as a major cofactor in the development of hepatitis C (HCV) associated liver disease and may play a role in the outcome of interferon-based treatment interventions. The association between HCV viral heterogeneity and alcohol has not been previously described. This study was designed to evaluate the quasispecies nature of the HCV population in patients with compensated and decompensated alcoholic liver disease, to test the hypothesis that alcoholics have greater complexity than matched nonalcoholic controls. A nonisotopic heteroduplex complexity assay (HCA) was first validated by comparison with results of quasispecies complexity determined by subcloning and sequencing of amplicon products from the E2/NS1 hypervariable coding region (HVR). Subsequently, this methodology was applied to comparison of 20 compensated (Child's-Pugh A) and decompensated (Child's-Pugh B/C) alcoholic and 20 nonalcoholic controls. The complexity of the HVR, as well as the 5' Untranslated (5'UT) and the NS5b coding domains were evaluated. The HCA methodology provided a reasonable semiquantitative measure of HCV RNA quasispecies variability compared with subclone sequence homology comparison. Overall, alcoholic patients had greater quasispecies complexity (2.65 bands) than nonalcoholic controls (1.6 bands; P =.01). Subset analysis revealed that compensated alcoholic patients had a mean of 3.1 homo/heteroduplex bands per sample whereas Child's-Pugh B/C alcoholics showed intermediate complexity. A similar quasispecies complexity difference was seen in the 5'UTR, but not in the NS5b coding domain. Quasispecies complexity was not associated with viral titer, complementary DNA concentration, or genotype. The differences in quasispecies complexity may help explain reports of poor interferon responsiveness in alcoholic patients.  相似文献

AIM: To elucidate the influence of quasispecies on virological response and disease severity in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
METHODS: Forty seven patients with hepatitis C [32 with chronic active hepatitis (CAH), 9 with cirrhosis, and 6 with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)] were screened for the presence of quasispecies by single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis in the hypervariable region (HVR) and non-structural 5B (NS5B) viral genes of hepatitis C virus. The 41 patients excluding those with HCC were on therapy and followed up for a year with the determination of virological response and disease severity. Virus isolated from twenty three randomly selected patients (11 non-responders and 12 showing a sustained virological response) was sequenced for the assessment of mutations.
RESULTS: The occurrence of quasispecies was proportionately higher in patients with HCC and cirrhosis than in those with CAH, revealing a significant correlation between the molecular evolution of quasispecies and the severity of disease in patients with hepatitis C. The occurrence of complex quasispecies has a significant association (P 〈 0.05) with the non-responders, and leads to persistence of infection. Significant differences (P 〈 0.05) in viral load (log10 IU/mL) were observed among patients infected with complex quasispecies (CQS), those infected with simple quasispecies (SQS) and those with no quasispecies (NQS), after 12 wk (CQS-5.2 ± 2.3, SQS-3.2 ± 1.9, NQS-2.8 ± 2.4) and 24 wk (CQS-3.9 ± 2.2, SQS-3.0 ± 2.2, NQS-2.1 ± 2.3) in the HVR region. However, a statistically significant difference (P 〈 0.05) was observed between the viral loads of patients infected with CQS and those infected with NQS in NS5B viral gene after 24 wk (CQS-3.9 ± 2.2, SQS-3.0 ± 2.2, and NQS-2.1 ± 2.3) and 48 wk (CQS-3.1 ± 2.7, SQS-2.3 ± 2.4, NQS-2.0 ± 2.3) of therapy. Disease severity was significantly associated with viral load during th  相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Studies on hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies dynamics in the natural course of infection are rare owing to difficulties in obtaining samples from the early phase of infection. METHODS: We studied 15 patients from the Transfusion-Transmitted Viruses Study who seroconverted to anti-HCV after receiving infected blood. Follow-up serum samples were collected every 2-3 weeks for 6 months, at 10 months, and at 11-16 years. Viral quasispecies in the second envelope hypervariable region 1 (E2/HVR1) and 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) were analyzed with single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA). RESULTS: Seven patients cleared infection within 7-24 weeks (mean, 14.0 wk) and 3 patients eventually became anti-HCV negative. In 6 patients with resolving hepatitis the SSCP band pattern remained stable, whereas in one patient minor changes appeared before clearance. In contrast, in all 8 patients progressing to chronicity, major changes in the E2/HVR1 quasispecies developed at 8-22 weeks (mean, 13.1 wk). Shannon entropy and medium mobility shift values derived from HMA gels remained stable in patients with resolving hepatitis but changed in those who developed chronic infection. Only 2 patients showed minor changes in 5'UTR. A decrease in E2/HVR1 complexity at the time of transmission (bottleneck) was found in 5 patients altogether. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in E2/HVR1 quasispecies 8-22 weeks after infection, likely caused by mounting immune pressure, were predictive of ensuing chronic infection, whereas stability was associated with resolution. Our study also showed that composition of HCV quasispecies may be preserved during transmission from host to host.  相似文献

Nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) may repress the interferon (IFN)-induced protein kinase R (PKR). High variability of different regions in the carboxy-terminal half of NS5A implicated in the interaction with PKR (particularly the interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR)) may be a predictor of response to IFN in patients infected with genotype 1b of HCV. We examined pretreatment serum samples from 17 HCV-1b infected patients included in the same schedule of IFN therapy. Seven patients were a rare series of sustained responders (SR) with a post-treatment follow-up of 5-7 years, while ten were nonresponders (NR). The carboxy-terminal half of the NS5A gene was amplified and directly sequenced in all 17 cases. In addition, the entire NS5A gene and the part of the HCV E2 gene coding for the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) were amplified, cloned and sequenced in six cases (three NR and three SR). No difference in number and distribution of amino acid mutations was observed between isolates from SR and NR in any portion of the protein, including the ISDR region. Analysis of full length NS5A confirmed no difference between the two groups. The NS5A gene sequence was different among the six cases cloned although it appeared to be conserved in each individual patient independently of the quasispecies complexity evaluated through HVR1 examination. These data indicate that pretreatment analysis of theNS5A genomic variability has no value in predicting long-lasting response to IFN therapy in HCV-1b-infected patients, and that the HCV NS5A gene has high quasispecies homology.  相似文献

Recent results of clinical trials suggest that combination of interferon and ribavirin exhibits an enhanced antiviral effect in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. To investigate the effect of ribavirin on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we analysed the evolution of the genetic heterogeneity of HCV in relation to the anti-HCV humoral response in patients treated by ribavirin alone. The study population included 35 patients with liver biopsy proven chronic hepatitis C infected with HCV genotype 1. Among them, 26 were treated with ribavirin for at least 12 months and nine untreated patients served as a control group. Serum samples were analysed before and at 6 and 12 months of therapy. Three regions of the HCV genome, i.e. HVR1, a domain of NS5A including part of the interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR), and a segment of NS5B, were amplified by RT-PCR using specific primers. The PCR products were then studied using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis followed by either direct sequencing, or cloning and sequencing. In parallel, the humoral anti-E1 response was studied using an ELISA (Innotest HCV E1Ab, Innogenetics). The results of HCV genome analysis showed no significant effect on the amino acid sequence evolution of the HVR1, NS5A and NS5B regions of HCV. Analysis of a phylogenetic tree from the major quasispecies variants showed the absence of correlation with ribavirin response, and the absence of selection of viral strains during ribavirin treatment. A trend towards a decrease in the anti-E1 Ab response was also observed. Altogether these results suggest that ribavirin may not exhibit a direct antiviral effect, but may trigger a favourable response to interferon by modulating the immune response against HCV.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the evaluation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies in the envelope region and its relationship with the outcome of acute hepatitis C. METHODS: HCV quasispecies were characterized in specimens collected every 2-6 mo from a cohort of acutely HCV-infected subjects. We evaluated two individuals who spontaneously cleared viremia and three individuals with persistent viremia by cloning 33 1-kb amplicons that spanned E1 and the 5' half of E2, including hypervariable region 1 (HVR1). To assess the quasispecies complexity and to detect variants for sequencing, 33 cloned cDNAs representing each specimen were assessed by a combined method of analysis of a single-stranded conformational polymorphism and heteroduplex analysis. The rates of both synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions for the E1, HVR1 and E2 regions outside HVR1 were analyzed. RESULTS: Serum samples collected from chronic phase of infection had higher quasispecies complexity than those collected from acute phase of infection in all individuals examined. The genetic diversity (genetic distance) within HVR1 was consistently higher than that in the complete E1(0.0322±0.0068 vs-0.0020±0.0014, P<0.05) and E2 regions outside HVR1 (0.0322±0.0068 vs 0.0017±0.0011, P<0.05) in individuals with persistent viremia, but did not change markedly over time in those with clearance of viremia. For individuals with persistent viremia, the rate of nonsynonymous substitutions within the HVR1 region (2.76×10-3±1.51×10-3) predominated and gradually increased, as compared with that in the E1 and E2 regions outside HVR1 (0.23×10-3±0.15×10-3, 0.50×10-3±0.10×10-3). By contrast, the rates of both nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions for the E1 and E2 regions including HVR1 were consistently lower in individuals with clearance of viremia. CONCLUSION: HCV persistence is associated with a complexity quasispecies and positive selection of HVR1 by the host immune system.  相似文献

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies nature in the hypervariable region (HVR) has been reported and found to relate to the effectiveness of interferon (IFN) treatment. However, the quasispecies nature in the nonstructural (NS) 5b region remains to be addressed. To examine this characterization and relationship with IFN therapy, we sequenced six independent HCV clones from each of eight patients. The eight patients were classified as responders or nonresponders to IFN. In the four responders, we found one to three isolates in each of the six clones. In the nonresponders, the six clones consisted of four, five, six, and six isolates, respectively. Compared the (NS) 5b genes of the isolates obtained from the patients with that of the reported hepatitis C virus HC-C2 or HC-J6 isolate the ratio of nonsynonymous to total substitutions ranged from 17.61% to 30.95% in the responders and from 33.11% to 76.47% in the nonresponders. We also compared posttreatment with pretreatment sequences. The average number of varying amino acids ranged from 5.5 to 9.0 in isolates remaining after IFN treatment and from 4.3 to 5.5 in the isolates that disappeared with IFN treatment. Two changed amino acids (glycine to arginine and valine to isoleucine) (compared with the pretreatment clones) were found in the posttreatment clones of one of the responders and one amino acid change (valine to alanine) was found in another responder. These results suggest that the NS5b quasispecies correlates with IFN treatment effectiveness. These results also implied that the heterogeneity in different hierarchical strata has a common impact on IFN treatment, making infected patients resistant to IFN. Our study also provides evidence that HCV elimination and mutation may occur simultaneously during IFN therapy. Received Sept. 19, 1997; accepted Feb. 27, 1998  相似文献

Hemophiliac patients with chronic hepatitis C might be exposed to and become infected with multiple hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains by means of frequent use of blood products, even if they are infected with a single subtype of HCV. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the genetic diversity of hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of HCV in chronically infected hemophiliacs and in patients with chronic posttransfusion hepatitis with a single HCV inoculation. The diversity of nucleotide sequences in HVR1 of serum HCV RNA was compared between 21 hemophiliacs infected with a single HCV subtype and 16 patients with posttransfusion HCV infection. The number of HCV quasispecies was determined by fluorescence single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. Direct sequencing was performed to determine the diversity in HVR1. The number of HCV quasispecies in the blood was 5.2 +/- 2.0 clones in hemophiliacs and 4.0 +/- 2.3 clones in posttransfusion patients, a nonsignificant difference (P = .0943). The number of sites at which the nucleotide was not homogenous in all quasispecies was significantly higher in hemophiliacs (13.0% +/- 7.4%) than in posttransfusion hepatitis patients (2.7% +/- 2.8%; P < .0001). In conclusion, there was a high degree of genetic variation in HVR1 of HCV specimens isolated from hemophiliacs compared with posttransfusion patients. These findings indicate the possibility that multiple infections of a single HCV subtype may occur among patients frequently exposed to blood products; single HCV subtypes may therefore derive from multiple origins.  相似文献
