Staging fibrosis is crucial for the prognosis and to determine the rapid need of treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and C (CHC). The expression of 13 fibrosis-related microRNAs (miRNAs) (miR-20a, miR-21, miR-27a, miR-27b, miR-29a, miR-29c, miR-92a, miR-122, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-221, miR-222, and miR-224) was analyzed in 194 serums and 177 liver biopsies of patients with either CHB or CHC to develop models to diagnose advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (Metavir F3-F4). In CHB patients, the model (serum miR-122, serum miR-222, platelet count and alkaline phosphatase) was more accurate than APRI and FIB-4 to discriminate in between mild and moderate fibrosis (F1-F2) and F3-F4 (AUC of CHB model: 0.85 vs APRI: 0.70 and FIB-4: 0.81). In CHC patients, the model (hepatic miR-122, hepatic miR-224, platelet count, albumin and alanine aminotransferase) was more accurate than both APRI and FIB-4 to discriminate in between patients with F3-F4 and F1-F2 (AUC of the CHC model = 0.93 vs APRI: 0.86 and FIB-4: 0.79). Most of the miRNAs tested were differentially expressed in patients with CHB and CHC. In particular, serum miR-122 was 28-fold higher in patients with CHB than in those with CHC. Both CHB and CHC models may help for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3-F4).
对慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)和丙型肝炎(CHC)患者进行纤维化分期对于预后评估和确定治疗的迫切需求至关重要。在 194 例 CHB 患者和 177 例 CHC 患者的血清和肝组织活检中分析了 13 种纤维化相关 microRNAs(miRNAs)(miR-20a、miR-21、miR-27a、miR-27b、miR-29a、miR-29c、miR-92a、miR-122、miR-146a、miR-155、miR-221、miR-222 和 miR-224)的表达,以开发用于诊断晚期纤维化和肝硬化(Metavir F3-F4)的模型。在 CHB 患者中,与 APRI 和 FIB-4 相比,该模型(血清 miR-122、血清 miR-222、血小板计数和碱性磷酸酶)更能准确地区分轻度和中度纤维化(F1-F2)与 F3-F4(CHB 模型的 AUC:0.85 vs APRI:0.70 和 FIB-4:0.81)。在 CHC 患者中,与 APRI 和 FIB-4 相比,该模型(肝 miR-122、肝 miR-224、血小板计数、白蛋白和丙氨酸氨基转移酶)更能准确地区分 F3-F4 与 F1-F2 的患者(CHC 模型的 AUC = 0.93 vs APRI:0.86 和 FIB-4:0.79)。在 CHB 和 CHC 患者中,大多数测试的 miRNAs 表达水平不同。特别是,血清 miR-122 在 CHB 患者中比 CHC 患者高 28 倍。CHB 和 CHC 模型都可能有助于诊断晚期纤维化和肝硬化(F3-F4)。
