摘要
目的研究外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)包膜抗原基因变异的意义。方法收集19例慢性乙肝患者的PBMC和配对血清,用PCR扩增PBMC及血清中HBV包膜基因片段(S,preS1,preS2),并对其中各5例PBMC及配对血清中的preS1和preS2基因片段,分别进行核苷酸序列分析。结果S、preS1和preS2片段在血清和PBMC中的检出率,分别为100%、947%、100%和0、263%、263%。与HBVADR序列比较,10份标本HBVDNA核苷酸序列分析,发现2份preS1和3份preS2的核苷酸序列,没有发生改变;8份preS1和7份preS2的核苷酸序列,均发生了一个至多个位点的点突变。结论PBMC中存在的包膜基因不完整,因而不会形成完整的HBV病毒颗粒,故不支持HBV可潜伏于PBMC并发展成为体内HBV再感染的来源。preS1点突变编码的氨基酸位点,集中在aa21~47区域,可能会影响HBV的吸附和穿入,及组织亲嗜性的改变。HBV亚基因片段在PBMC中,是否会影响细胞的功能,有待进一步研究。
Objective To study the significance of mutations of HBV preS and S genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Methods Srea and PBMCs of 19 chronic hepatitis B patients were collected. The S, preS1 and preS2 gene fragments of HBV were separately amplified by PCR, and 5 cases of preS1 and preS2 gene fragments in paired sera and PBMC were sequenced. Results The positive rates of S, preS1 and preS2 gene fragments in serum and PBMC were 100%, 94.7%, 100% and 0,26.3%, 26.3% respectively. Sequence analysis of preS1 and preS2 genes showed that in 8/10 specimens there were point mutations in preS1 and 7/10 mutations in preS2; while in the others (2 of preS1 and 3 of preS2) the sequences were identical to that of wildtype HBV. Conclusion No fulllength HBV genome in PBMC was detected by PCR, this is a fact not supporting that HBV can replicate, assemble and release from PBMC. The amino acid changes predicted mutatieds from nucleotide were focused in aa2147 region, which might affect adsorption and penetration of HBV, and alteration in tissue tropism. Whether the presence of HBV subgenomic fragments in PBMC can affect cell function should be pursued.
