Cytokine Profiles and Virological Marker Monitoring during 48 Weeks Peginterferon Alfa Treatment for HBeAg-Positive Chronic Hepatitis B

         

摘要

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether cytokine profiles and virological markers might add value in monitoring the effects of peginterferon(PEG-IFN)therapy for hepatitis B e-antigen(HBeAg)positive chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods HBeAg positive patients with CHB were treated with PEG-IFN for 48 weeks.Clinical biochemical,and HBV serological indexes,as well as cytokines,were detected at baseline and every12 weeks.Results A total of 116 patients with CHB were enrolled in this study;100 patients completed the 48-week treatment and follow-up,of whom 38 achieved serum HBeAg disappearance,25 achieved HBeAg seroconversion,37 showed HBsAg decreases≥1 log10 IU/mL,9 showed HBsAg disappearance,and 8became HBsAb positive.The cytokine levels at baseline and during treatment were similar between the HBeAg disappearance group and non-disappearance group.The disappearance of HBeAg was independently associated with HBeAg levels at weeks 12 and 24,and with the HBeAg decline at week 24(P<0.05).The HBsAg response was independently associated with HBsAg,the HBsAg decline,HBeAg,the HBeAg decline at week 12,and HBsAg at week 24(P<0.05).Conclusion There was no significant correlation between the response to interferon(IFN)and cytokines during PEG-IFN treatment.The changes in virological markers predicted the response to IFN after 48 weeks.
