目的:探讨细胞因子(TNFα及IL-6)水平与HBV前C区变异之间的关系。方法:应用ELISA法及3′-碱基特异性聚合酶链反应法对43例HBVDNA阳性慢性乙型肝炎患者进行血清TNFα、IL-6含量及HBV前C区1896位点突变的检测。结果:HBV前C区突变株,检出率为48.8%(21/43),突变株感染组TNFα、IL-6水平明显高于野生株感染组。结论:慢性乙型肝炎患者血清TNFα及IL-6水平与HBV前C区基因变异有密切关系,机体免疫压力的增高可能是导致HBV前C区变异的重要原因之一
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the levels of cytokines (TNFα and IL-6) and the variation of pre-HBV C region. Methods: Serum levels of TNFα and IL-6 were measured in 43 patients with HBVDNA-positive chronic hepatitis B by ELISA and 3’-base-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: The positive rate of pre-HBV mutants was 48.8% (21/43). The levels of TNFα and IL-6 in the mutants were significantly higher than those in the wild-type infected ones. Conclusion: The serum levels of TNFα and IL-6 in patients with chronic hepatitis B are closely related to the gene mutation in pre-C region of HBV, and the increase of immune pressure may be one of the important causes of pre-HBV mutation
