HCV treatment outcome depends on SNPs of IFNL3-Gene polymorphisms (rs12979860) and cirrhotic changes in liver parenchyma. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21194. [PMID: 37928048 PMCID: PMC10623284 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The allelic discrimination of IFNL3-(rs12979860 C > T) polymorphism reveals ambiguous associations with the effectiveness of oral HCV treatment. Solitary intra peripheral-blood-mononuclear-cells (PBMCs) HCV-RNA antisense-strands are independently detected in naïve and experienced cases regardless of viremia or hepatic-parenchymal alterations. We examined the frequencies of IFNL3-genetic variants with chronic-HCV-induced liver changes during the sustained virologic response (SVR) by evaluating the PBMCs- HCV-PCR after oral antiviral therapy. Methods: Twelve weeks after finishing oral antiviral therapy, the effects of IFNL3-genetic variants were evaluated in three groups of patients: Group-I (n = 25) showed HCV-RNA negativity in both serum and PBMCs-, group II (n = 52) showed positivity of HCV-RNA in PBMCs, and group-III (n = 25) had positive HCV-RNA in serum. The genetic variants of the IFNL3-gene were estimated for all the enrolled cases and correlated with their hepatic image changes. Results: IFNL3-(rs12979860) genotyping in post-direct acting antivirals (DAAs) SVR and HCV-relapse revealed: a) high frequency of CC-genotype and C-allele in group I compared to group II (P < 0.005) and group III(P ≤ 0.05) when hepatic-parenchyma looks normal by ultrasound b) frequent CT-genotype and T-allele in group II compared with I(P < 0.01) and III(P < 0.05) when liver tissues are bright (early cirrhotic-changes) c) frequent TT-genotype and T-allele in group III relative to I (P < 0.05) and II (P ≤ 0.08) when liver-tissues appear coarse by ultrasound. Conclusion: Outcomes of HCV treatment depend on host IFNL3-gene polymorphism and hepatic-parenchymal changes. A high frequency of wild-CC-genotype and C-allele is observed in patients with normal hepatic parenchyma and that achieved SVR. Solitary relapse in PBMCs occurs on increasing CT-genotype frequency when liver tissues are bright. Serologic relapse is detected when TT-genotype and T-allele are dominant in association with the cirrhotic liver. Therefore, IFNL3-gene-SNP analysis as a genetic predictor in relation to ultra-sonographic hepatic-parenchymal changes could be valuable for selecting the patients with the highest priority for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Predictors of chronic HCV response to oral antiviral therapy (OAT) are related to host genetic variations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and alleles variations of host genes in association with hepatic fibro-cirrhotic changes have a distinct role in OAT outcomes. The current research evaluated the association of Cirrhosis-Risk-Scores (CRS) values, based on the correlation of seven genes signature-SNPs, with sonographic liver parenchymal changes in determining OAT outcomes. METHODS All study subjects (n = 54) were recruited three months after completing OAT and classified into three groups. Group I (n = 21) had negative HCV PCR, group II (n = 17) showed positive solitary intra-PBMCs HCV infection, and group III(n = 16) was serum HCV RNA PCR-positive. All study-population were subjected to examination by hepatic-ultrasound (US), FIB-4-scoring, and screening for 7 gene-signature that addressed CRS values as low, intermediate, and high depending on gene SNPs identification. RESULTS Group I showed a significant association with low CRS values compared to other groups (P < 0.001). Solitary intra- PBMCs HCV infection in group II was significantly combined with intermediate CRS values in comparison to groups I and III (P < 0.001). The high CRS values were significantly found in group III when compared to groups I and II (P < 0.01). On US imaging, low CRS values were common in normally appeared hepatic parenchyma (P < 0.001) and high CRS values were frequent in coarse-liver (P < 0.001), while bright-liver-tissues appearance was mainly detected in the intermediate CRS category (P = 0.09). On FIB-4 scoring, high CRS value were associated with hepatic fibro-cirrhosis compared to intermediate (P < 0.001) and low (P = 0.08) CRS-categories. CONCLUSION The current study concluded the association of (a) high CRS values with coarse liver in viral-RNA serologic relapse, (b) low CRS values with normal liver tissues in sustained virologic response (SVR), (c) intermediate CRS values with bright liver in solitary PBMCs relapse.

Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir-based Regimens in Hepatitis C Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Clin Transl Hepatol 2023; 11:144-155. [PMID: 36406321 PMCID: PMC9647115 DOI: 10.14218/jcth.2022.00006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Decompensated cirrhotic patients with hepatitis C (HCV) are often under-represented in clinical trials. We aimed to evaluate pooled data on the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir (SOF)-based regimens in these patients. METHODS We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis by searching multiple databases for studies published from October 2010 to October 2020. Outcomes of interest were sustained virologic response (SVR) and safety of SOF-based regimens in decompensated HCV patients. Two reviewers independently performed the study selection and data extraction. RESULTS We included 33 studies that enrolled 5,302 HCV patients. The pooled SVR rate in decompensated patients with SOF-based regimens was 85.1% (95% CI: 82.8-87.3). Patients on SOF/velpatasvir±ribavirin achieved a significantly higher SVR (91.0%, 95% CI: 87.7-93.9) than that of SOF/ledipasvir±ribavirin [(86.3%, 95% CI: 84.6-87.8); p=0.004)], or on SOF/daclatasvir±ribavirin (82.4%, 95% CI: 78.2-86.2%; p<0.001). Adding ribavirin to SOF-based regimens (pooled SVR 84.9%, 95% CI: 81.7-87.9) did not significantly increase the SVR [(83.8% (95% CI: 76.8-89.8%; p=0.76)] in decompensated patients, which was also true in subgroup analyses for each regimen within the same treatment duration. However, adding ribavirin significantly increased the frequency of adverse events from 52.9% (95% CI: 28.0-77.1) to 89.2% (95% CI: 68.1-99.9) and frequency of severe events. The pooled incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and case-fatality of decompensated patients were 3.1% (95% CI: 1.5-5.0) and 4.6% (95% CI: 3.1-6.3), respectively. The overall heterogeneity was high. There was no publication bias. CONCLUSIONS The analysis found that 12 weeks of SOF/velpatasvir without ribavirin is the preferred therapy, with a significantly higher SVR compared with other SOF-based regimens in decompensated HCV patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying de-novo hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) is still under investigation. This work aims to study P53 and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) as possible diagnostics of de-novo hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following DAAs in comparison to alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). METHOD This case-control study included 166 patients with liver cirrhosis divided into group-1: patients without HCC (n = 50), group-2: patients with de-novo HCC following DAAs, and achieved sustained virological response (n = 50), and group-3: patients with HCC without DAAs (n = 66). P53 antibody and HGF were determined using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (Cusabio Co, Houston, USA). RESULTS Patients with HCC showed significantly higher HGF. Patients with de-novo HCC following DAAs had significantly higher P53 than HCC without DAAs (P < 0.0001). The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the P53 levels were significantly associated with susceptibility to de-novo HCC (P value = 0.004). The best overall formula was constructed for HCC diagnosis by entering significant markers into the regression model. A three markers model was developed = (1.22 + AFP X 0.002 + HGF X 0.001 + P53 X 0.001). The medians (percentiles) of combined three markers were 1.8 (1.0-2.1) in liver cirrhosis and 2.2 (2.0-2.9) in all HCC (P < 0.00001). The AUC of combined markers was greater than a single marker. The AUC was 0.87 to differentiate HCC from liver cirrhosis; AUC 0.91 to differentiate de-novo HCC after DAAs from liver cirrhosis. CONCLUSION P53 may serve as a diagnostic marker for de-novo HCC after DAAs therapy. HGF may serve as a diagnostic marker for HCC but not specific for de-novo HCC after DAAs therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Occult hepatitis C infection (OCI) is a type of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, defined as the presence of HCV RNA in hepatocytes or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the absence of HCV RNA in serum. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A literature review was conducted to identify articles that characterized OCI as a disease, including its epidemiology, mode of transmission, pattern of infection, progression, and treatment. RESULTS OCI patients experience a milder degree of inflammatory and cirrhotic changes than patients with chronic hepatitis C. OCI is transmissible parenterally both in vivo and in vitro, however the duration and outcome of OCI remains unclear. OCI is most consistently found in patients with previous hepatitis C disease and hemodialysis patients. Beyond the at-risk populations, OCI has also been demonstrated among healthy individuals and blood donors. CONCLUSIONS This review summarises our current understanding of OCI and suggests areas for further research to improve our understanding of this phenomenon, including a better understanding of its epidemiology and full clinical course. The current understanding of OCI and its clinical implications remain limited. Further standardized detection methods, ongoing surveillance, and investigation of its potential transmissions are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of shortened 8-week regimen of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LED/SOF) combination therapy in treatment-naïve children without cirrhosis aged 4-10 years of age with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. STUDY DESIGN This observational single arm prospective study included 30 treatment-naïve children (20 males) with proved chronic HCV fulfilling inclusion criteria. Their body weights ranged from 17 to 26 kg. Four patients were excluded from the study. All the included children received a single oral dose of LED/SOF 45/200 mg for 8 weeks. Body weight, HCV-RNA, complete blood count, and liver function tests were monitored at 0, 2, 4, and 8 weeks and sustained virologic response was evaluated after 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12). The emergence of any side effects was also monitored. RESULTS The most common risk factor (53.3%) was an parent or sibling with HCV infection. Twenty-nine patients (96.7%) were negative for HCV-RNA by week 2 of treatment and 1 patient became negative by week 4. The end of treatment response and SVR12 were 100%. Transaminases levels declined and returned to normal levels by week 2. Major side effects were fatigue in 90% (27/30) and headache in 76.7% (23/30). Side effects were minimal, tolerable, and did not interfere with daily activity or necessitate treatment discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS A shortened 8-week regimen of LED/SOF (45/200 mg) is safe and effective with 100% SVR12 in treatment-naïve children with cirrhosis aged 4-10 years with chronic HCV infection genotype 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C is a disease that constitutes a serious global health problem, is often asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose and about 60-80% of infected patients develop chronic diseases over time. As there is no vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV), developing new cheap treatments is a big challenge. OBJECTIVE The search for new drugs from natural products has been outstanding in recent years. The aim of this study was to combine structure-based and ligand-based virtual screening (VS) techniques to select potentially active molecules against four HCV target proteins from in-house secondary metabolite dataset (SistematX). MATERIALS AND METHODS From the ChEMBL database, we selected four sets of 1199, 355, 290 and 237chemical structures with inhibitory activity against different targets of HCV to create random forest models with an accuracy value higher than 82% for cross-validation and test sets. Afterward, a ligandbased virtual screen of the entire 1848 secondary metabolites database stored in SistematX was performed. In addition, a structure-based virtual screening was also performed for the same set of secondary metabolites using molecular docking. RESULTS Finally, using consensus analyses approach combining ligand-based and structure-based VS, three alkaloids were selected as potential anti-HCV compounds. CONCLUSION The selected structures are a starting point for further studies in order to develop new anti- HCV compounds based on natural products.
