Chronic HCV infection is strictly associated with host lipid/lipoprotein metabolism disorders. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between viral load, lipid profile, IFN, and the expression of miR-122 and LPL in the liver and PBMCs. Sera, PBMCs, and matching liver biopsies from 17 chronic hepatitis C patients were enrolled in this study. Collected data shows that liver (not PBMCs) miR-122 expression is positively correlated with HCV RNA load and IFN and reversely with LPL expression in CHC patients. Presented, for the first time, in this study, the reverse correlation of miR-122 and LPL expression in liver; miR-122 and LPL seem to be important factors of CHC infection.
慢性 HCV 感染与宿主脂质/脂蛋白代谢紊乱密切相关。本研究旨在分析病毒载量、血脂谱、IFN 以及 miR-122 和 LPL 在肝和 PBMCs 中的表达之间的关系。本研究纳入了 17 例慢性丙型肝炎患者的血清、PBMCs 和匹配的肝活检组织。结果表明,慢性丙型肝炎患者肝(而非 PBMCs)中 miR-122 的表达与 HCV RNA 载量和 IFN 呈正相关,与 LPL 表达呈负相关。本研究首次发现,miR-122 和 LPL 在肝组织中的表达呈负相关;miR-122 和 LPL 似乎是 CHC 感染的重要因素。
