1Circulating microRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for hepatitis B virus liver fibrosis显示文摘Viruses can alter the expression of host microRNAs(miRNA s) and modulate the immune response during a persistent infection. The dysregulation of host miRNA s by hepatitis B virus(HBV) contributes to the proinflammatory and profibrotic changes within the liver. Multiple studies have documented the differential regulation of intracellular and circulating miRNA s during different stages of HBV infection. Circulating miRNA s found in plasma and/or extracellular vesicles can integrate data on viral-host interactions and on the associated liver injury. Hence, the detection of circulating miRNA s in chronic HBV hepatitis could offer a promising alternative to liver biopsy, as their expression is associated with HBV replication, the progression of liver fibrosis,and the outcome of antiviral treatment. The current review explores the available data on miRNA involvement in HBV pathogenesis with an emphasis on their potential use as biomarkers for liver fibrosis.Diana Gabriela Iacob Adelina Rosca Simona Maria Ruta 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,11:4
2Injecting drug use: A vector for the introduction of new hepatitis C virus genotypes显示文摘Hepatitis C virus(HCV) genotypes' monitoring allows real-time insight into the dynamic changes that occur in the global epidemiological picture of HCV infection. Intravenous drug use is currently the primary driver for HCV transmission in developed and developing countries. The distribution of HCV genotypes/subtypes differs significantly between people who inject drugs(PWID) and the general population. HCV genotypes that previously exhibited a limited geographical distribution(3a,4) are becoming more prevalent in this high-risk group. Immigration from HCV-endemic countries and the evolving networks of HCV transmission in PWID influence HCV genotypes distribution in Europe. Social vulnerabilities(e.g.,unemployment,homelessness,and limited access to social and healthcare insurances systems) are important triggers for illicit drug use,which increases the associated risks of HCV infection and the frequent emergence of less prevalent genotypes. Genotype/subtype determination bears important clinical consequences in the progression of liver disease,susceptibility to antiviral therapies and the emergence of resistance-associated variants. An estimated half of the chronically HCV-infected PWID are unaware of their infection,and only one in ten of those diagnosed enter treatment. Nevertheless,PWID exhibit high response rates to new antiviral regimens,and the level of HCV reinfection is unexpectedly low. The focus of the healthcare system must be on the early detection and treatment of infection,to avoid late presentations that are associated with high levels of viremia and liver fibrosis,which may diminish the therapeutic success rate.Simona Ruta Costin Cernescu 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,38:2
3Atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer tissue miRNome analysis reveals hsa-miR-129-1 and hsa-miR-196a as potential early diagnostic biomarkers显示文摘BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)is one of the most frequently diagnosed tumor globally.In most cases,GC develops in a stepwise manner from chronic gastritis or atrophic gastritis(AG)to cancer.One of the major issues in clinical settings of GC is diagnosis at advanced disease stages resulting in poor prognosis.Micro RNAs(mi RNAs)are small noncoding molecules that play an essential role in a variety of fundamental biological processes.However,clinical potential of mi RNA profiling in the gastric cancerogenesis,especially in premalignant GC cases,remains unclear.AIM To evaluate the AG and GC tissue mi RNomes and identify specific mi RNAs’potential for clinical applications(e.g.,non-invasive diagnostics).METHODS Study included a total of 125 subjects:Controls(CON),AG,and GC patients.All study subjects were recruited at the Departments of Surgery or Gastroenterology,Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences and divided into the profiling(n=60)and validation(n=65)cohorts.Total RNA isolated from tissue samples was used for preparation of small RNA sequencing libraries and profiled using next-generation sequencing(NGS).Based on NGS data,deregulated mi RNAs hsa-mi R-129-1-3 p and hsa-mi R-196 a-5 p were analyzed in plasma samples of independent cohort consisting of CON,AG,and GC patients.Expression level of hsa-mi R-129-1-3 p and hsa-mi R-196 a-5 p was determined using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and 2-ΔΔCt method.RESULTS Results of tissue analysis revealed 20 differentially expressed mi RNAs in AG group compared to CON group,129 deregulated mi RNAs in GC compared to CON,and 99 altered mi RNAs comparing GC and AG groups.Only 2 mi RNAs(hsa-mi R-129-1-3 p and hsa-mi R-196 a-5 p)were identified to be step-wise deregulated in healthy-premalignant-malignant sequence.Area under the curve(AUC)-receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that expression level of hsa-mi R-196 a-5 p is significant for discrimination of CON vs AG,CON vs GC and AG vs GC and resulted in AUCs:88.0%,93.1%and 66.3%,respectively.Comparing results in tissue and plasma samples,hsa-mi R-129-1-3 p was significantly down-regulated in GC compared to AG(P=0.0021 and P=0.024,tissue and plasma,respectively).Moreover,analysis revealed that hsa-mi R-215-3 p/5 p and hsa-mi R-934 were significantly deregulated in GC based on Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection status[log2 fold change(FC)=-4.52,P-adjusted=0.02;log2 FC=-4.00,P-adjusted=0.02;log2 FC=6.09,P-adjusted=0.02,respectively].CONCLUSION Comprehensive mi RNome study provides evidence for gradual deregulation of hsa-mi R-196 a-5 p and hsa-mi R-129-1-3 p in gastric carcinogenesis and found hsami R-215-3 p/5 p and hsa-mi R-934 to be significantly deregulated in H.pylori carrying GC patients.Greta Varkalaite Evelina Vaitkeviciute Ruta Inciuraite Violeta Salteniene Simonas Juzenas Vytenis Petkevicius Rita Gudaityte Antanas Mickevicius Alexander Link Limas Kupcinskas Marcis Leja Juozas Kupcinskas Jurgita Skieceviciene 2022World Journal of Gastroenterology2022,28,6:2
4Polymorphisms of micro RNA target genes IL12B, INSR, CCND1 and IL10 in gastric cancer显示文摘AIM To evaluate associations between mi RNA target genes IL12B,INSR,CCND1 and IL10 polymorphisms and gastric cancer(GC)in European population.METHODS Gene polymorphisms were analyzed in 508 controls and474 GC patients from 3 tertiary centers in Germany,Lithuania and Latvia.Controls were patients from the out-patient departments,who were referred for upper endoscopy because of dyspeptic symptoms and had no history of previous malignancy.Gastric cancer(GC)patients had histopathological verification of gastric adenocarcinoma.Genomic DNA was extracted using salting out method from peripheral blood mononuclear cells.IL12B T>G(rs1368439),INSR T>C(rs1051690),CCND1 A>C(rs7177)and IL10 T>C(rs3024498)SNPs were genotyped by the real-time polymerase chain reaction.Associations between gene polymorphism and GC were evaluated using multiple logistic regression analysis with adjustment for sex,age and country of birth.RESULTS We observed similar distribution of genotypes and allelic frequencies of all polymorphisms between GC patients and controls except of INSR rs1051690.The frequency of the T allele of INSR gene was significantly higher in GC patients than in controls(23.26%and 19.19%respectively,P=0.028).CT genotype was also more prevalent in patients compared to control group(38.48%and 30.12%respectively,P<0.021).Logistic regression analysis revealed that only one polymorphism(rs1051690 in INSR gene)was associated with increased risk of GC.Carriers of CT genotype had higher odds of GC when compared to CC genotype(OR=1.45,95%PI:1.08-1.95,P=0.01).Similar association was observed in a dominant model for INSR gene,where comparison of TT+CT vs CC genotypes showed an increased risk of GC(OR=1.44,95%PI:1.08-1.90,P=0.01).Other analyzed SNPs were not associated with the presence of GC.CONCLUSION INSR rs1051690 SNP is associated with increased risk of GC,while polymorphisms in IL12B,CCND1 and IL10genes are not linked with the presence of GC.Vytenis Petkevicius Violeta Salteniene Simonas Juzenas Thomas Wex Alexander Link Marcis Leja Ruta Steponaitiene Jurgita Skieceviciene Limas Kupcinskas Laimas Jonaitis Gediminas Kiudelis Peter Malfertheiner Juozas Kupcinskas 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,19:2

6Impact of hepatitis C virus core mutations on the response to interferon-based treatment in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM To determine whether hepatitis C virus(HCV) core substitutions play a role in the response to interferon-based treatment in Caucasian patients. METHODS One hundred eight HCV chronically infected patients initiating treatment with pegylated IFN plus ribavirin for 48 wk were tested for baseline substitutions at codons 70 and 91 of the viral core protein(Big Dye Terminator vers.3.1, Applied Biosystems,) and for genetic polymorphisms in host IL28 B gene rs12979860(Custom TaqM an 5' allelic discrimination assay; Applied Biosystems).RESULTS Of the patients, all were infected with HCV genotype 1b, 44.4% had low baseline HCV viral load, and 37.9% had mild/moderate fibrosis. Only 38.9% achieved therapeutic success, defined as sustained virological response(SVR). Eighty-eight percent of the patients presented at least one substitution at core position 70(R70Q/H) or/and position 91(L91M). The favorable IL28 B CC polymorphism was detected in only 17.6% of the patients. In the univariate analysis, young age(P < 0.001), urban residence(P = 0.004), IL28 B CC genotype(P < 0.001), absence of core mutations(P = 0.005), achievement of rapid virologic response(P < 0.001) and early virological response(P < 0.001) were significantly correlated with SVR. A multivariate analysis revealed three independent predictors of therapeutic success: young age(P < 0.001), absence of core substitutions(P = 0.04) and IL28 B CC genotype(P < 0.001); the model correctly classified 75.9% of SVR cases with a positive predictive value of 80.7%. CONCLUSION HCV core mutations can help distinguish between patients who can still benefit from the affordable IFNbased therapy from those who must be treated with DAAs to prevent the evolution towards end-stage liver disease.Camelia Sultana Gabriela Oprisan Monica Delia Teleman Sorin Dinu HepGen 88/2012 Project Team Cristiana Oprea Mihai Voiculescu Simona Ruta 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,37:0
