摘要
目的:了解慢性丙型肝炎患者的血浆及其外周血单个核细胞(peripheralbloodmononuclearcels,PBMC)中丙型肝炎病毒(hepatitisCvirus,HCV)的存在及存在形式。方法:反转录多聚酶链反应(reversetranscriptpolymerasechainreaction,RTPCR)技术检测124例慢性丙型肝炎患者的血浆及PBMC中的HCV。结果:在70例抗HCV及血浆HCVRNA阳性的患者中有21例(30%)的患者其PBMC内存在HCVRNA正链,仅1例存在HCVRNA负链。在54例抗HCV阳性、血浆HCVRNA阴性的患者中,仅有2例(3.7%)检出HCVRNA正链,未检出HCVRNA负链,这2例患者均为干扰素治疗3~6个月的病人。结论:PBMC可作为肝外病毒复制场所。对慢性HCV感染者来说,3~6个月的干扰素治疗时间可能是不够的,HCV在PBMC内的存在可能是干扰素治疗后复发的原因之一。
Objective: To study HCV RNA in plasma and its peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Methods: Detection of HCV RNA in plasma and PBMC of patients with chronic hepatitis C by RT-PCR. Results: In 70 patients whose antiHCV and HCV RNA were positive in their plasma with chronic hepatitis C, HCV RNA positive strands in 21 patients(30%) and HCV RNA negative strand in 1 patient were detected by RT-PCR. The HCV RNA positive strands of 2/54(3.7%) patients whose antiHCV was positive and HCV RNA was negative in their plasma with interferon treatment for 3 or 6 months were detected,and no HCV RNA negative strands in their PBMCs were found by RT-PCR. Conclusion:These results suggest that HCV can infect PBMCs and replicate in it, and demonstrate that HCV infection of PBMCs exists in patients with HCV RNA seropositive more easily than those with HCV RNA negative in their sera. Interferon treatment for three or six months was inadequate in some patients, because HCV RNA in their PBMCs may be detected.
