Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a major public health problem globally. HBeAg seroconversion is a vital hallmark for the improvement of CHB. The plasma metabolic profile has not been clear in CHB patients and searching metabolic candidates to represent HBeAg seroconversion is also difficult currently. In this study, CHB patients were recruited, followed and divided into the HBeAg-positive (HBeAg-pos.) group (n = 29) and the HBeAg-negative (HBeAg-neg.) group (n = 29) based on HBeAg seroconversion or not. The plasma metabolic profiles were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) at 0 week (0w), 24 weeks (24w) and 48 weeks (48w) after administration. The acquired data was analyzed using orthogonal partial least squares discriminate analysis (OPLS-DA) and the differential metabolites were further assessed by self and group comparison. No differences of age, gender and serological characteristics were observed between two groups at 0w and 48w separately. The OPLS-DA score plots depending on administration time displayed robust metabolic differences no matter HBeAg turned to be negative or not. According to VIP> 1.0, a total of 15 differential metabolites were same in the two groups, 7 differential metabolites (glycolic acid, D-talose, L-proline, L-(-)-arabitol, ethyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, L-leucine and dihydroxybutanoic acid) were derived from one group alone and considered as metabolic candidates. At 0w versus (vs.) 24w, only 3 of 7 candidates (L-proline, L-(-)-arabitol, dihydroxybutanoic acid) showed nonuniform in the two groups, while at 0w vs. 48w, all of them varied inconsistently. Conclusively the dynamic metabolic profiles assayed by GC-MS were different between CHB patients with and without HBeAg seroconversion. The 7 metabolic candidates probably had the ability to reflect the CHB progression for HBeAg seroconversion and 3 of them showed strong relationship with HbeAg seroconversion early.
