Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effect of soluble human leukocyte antigen G (sHLA-G) on the efficacy of pegylated interferon combined with ribavirin in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). METHODS: A total of 63 CHC patients from October 2013 to October 2015 were enrolled. The genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV), HCV RNA and sHLA-G were detected by gene chip, RT-PCR and ELISA method accordingly. All patients received a subcutaneous injection of pegylated interferon combined with oral ribavirin. The factors affecting the sustained virological response (SVR) were observed and analyzed. RESULTS: The proportion of female and non-genotype 1 in SVR group was significantly higher than that in non-sustained virological response (NSVR) group (female:70.59% vs.44.83%, χ2=4.285; non-genotype 1:82.76% vs.55.88%, χ2=5.217, P<0.05); other baseline indexes presented no significant difference (P>0.05). The level of plasma sHLA-G before treatment in NSVR group was significantly higher than that in SVR group[1.85(1.49-16.00) ng/L vs.1.53(1.36-2.80) ng/L; U=329.00, P<0.05]. After multivariable logistic regression analysis, sHLA-G and HCV genotypes were the independent influencing factors associated with the outcome of treatment with Exp(B)(95% CI) were 0.922(0.868-0.978) and 14.204(1.898-106.289), respectively. CONCLUSION: sHLA-G exhibits an important effect on the standardized treatment of hepatitis C patients, and patients with low sHLA-G level are more likely to achieve a sustained virological response.
