摘要
目的 探讨 HBeAg阴性的慢性重型乙型肝炎患者HBV前C区变异及前C区 T1862突变体对e抗原合成和分泌影响。方法选取9例重型乙型病毒性肝炎患者,用PCR方法扩增血清中HBV前C/C基因区,并克隆后测序和序列分析;构建HBV前C区T1862位点突变体表达质粒pGEMT,经体外翻译比较野毒株和变异株的表达产物。结果HBV前C区有3个位点变异使氨基酸序列改变,A1896、 A1899和T1862;A1899并不单独出现。前C区T1862突变并不阻止HBV e前体蛋白体外合成。同时,有2例并未检测到前C区的变异。结论 部分重型肝炎HBeAg阴性原因除了T1896变异外,还存在T1862变异。前C1862突变对HBVe抗原前体蛋白合成并无影响,可能e抗原前体在分泌过程中受阻。
Objective To detect mutations in precore region of hepatitis B virus of HBeAg negative - patients with fulminant hepatitis and to determine the effect of T1862 mutants on synthesis of precursor of hepatitis B e antigen. Methods The entire precore and core region were amplified from sera of nine HBeAg negative-patients with fulminant hepatitis B by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR products were cloned into plasmid pUC18, and sequencing for analysis of precore mutations. Precore and core sequence of T1862 variant were also cloned into expression plasmid pGEMT for in vitro transcription and translation study on synthesis and procession of e antigen. Results Three variants, A1896, A1899 and T1862, whose nucleotide mutation led to amino acids substitutions, were detected in patients with fulminant hepatitis. T1862 variant didn't effect the synthesis of precursor of e antigen. Also there was no variant detected in precore region of hepatitis B virus in two patients. Conclusions The causes for negative of e antigen in fulminant hepatitis patients may be partially explained by precore mutation of A1896 and T1862, and the latter variant may effect the process of precursor of e antigen, rather than the synthesis of precursor protein.
