Objectives. Patients with chronic viral hepatitis C (VHC) have increased intrahepatic iron deposits, a condition that is associated with rapid progression of fibrosis and reduced viral response to antiviral therapy. The purpose of this study is to describe the behavior of serum prohepcidin, a peptide that acts decisively in iron homeostasis, depending on the viral response, but also its relationship with fibrosis, serum iron and ferritin in patients with VHC. We also aim to study the relationship prohepcidin - fibrosis in chronic viral hepatitis B (VHB). Material and method. The prospective, longitudinal, observational study includes 82 patients with VHC treated with pegylatinterferon alfa-2a or alfa-2b and ribavirin, in dosages according to weight, as well as 36 patients with VHB treated with pegylatinterferon alfa-2a for 48 weeks. Another group consisted of 33 healthy volunteers. Results. The prohepcidin serum level is statistically significantly lower in patients with VHC than in those with VHB or the healthy volunteers (p=0.001). In patients with VHC with early viral response (EVR), and sustained viral response (SVR) respectively, the dynamic evolution (0-72 weeks) of serum prohepcidin has a linear rising trend while the serum iron and ferritin median levels are decreasing, as opposed to patients with SVR, where the serum prohepcidin, serum iron and ferritin have no significant variations. Serum prohepcidin is suppressed in the early stages of fibrosis in VHC, as well as in stage 3 fibrosis in VHB. Conclusions. The serum prohepcidin synthesis is suppressed in VHC, especially in the early stages of the hepatic disease and it improves in patients who obtain EVR or SVR. The serum prohepcidin is low in the late stages of VHB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim. The aim of the research is the study on the long run of the level of serum erythropoietin in chronic viral hepatitis C patients treated with pegylatinterferon and ribavirinum; the assessment of serum erythropoietin as predictor for the onset of anemia, the comparison of the values of initial serum erythropoietin in chronic viral hepatitis B and C patients. Method. In this prospective study, carried out in Cluj-Napoca in the timeframe 2006-2009, we observed 82 patients with viral chronic hepatitis C with underwent treatment with pegylatinterferon alfa2a or alfa2b and ribavirinum, as well as 48 patients with viral chronic hepatitis B treated with pegylatinterferon. Another group consisted of 33 healthy volunteers. Results. The value of initial serum erythropoietin is higher in patients with viral chronic hepatitis B or C than in the healthy ones, the evolution of serum erythropoietin is of quadric type, following the evolution of the anemia during and after the antiviral therapy. The initial serum erythropoietin is a predictor for the onset of anemia 3 months after the therapy, respectively for the sustained viral response. The synthesis of erythropoietin is inadequate in viral chronic hepatitis C patients. Conclusion. The level of initial serum erythropoietin predicts the onset of anemia 3 months after the therapy, respectively for the sustained viral response, for which reason it could be used in the initial assessment of patients with viral chronic hepatitis C about to be treated with antiviral medication.

Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) is involved in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, how HBx promotes genetic instability or DNA damage during liver proliferation remains unclear. For that, we used mice transgenic for the full-length HBx (FL-HBx) to investigated the impact of HBx expression on polyploidization during normal liver proliferation and in liver diseases (fibrosis : carbon tetrachloride and HCC : diethyl nitrosamine, treatments). During postnatal liver development as well as in liver diseases, FL-HBx inhibits liver binucleation and triggers early production of polyploid nuclei (≥ 4n). These features were associated with aberrant G1/S and G2/M transitions and the propagation of DNA damage. Furthermore, hepatitis B virus infection, in liver humanized mouse model, shows similar deregulation of hepatocytes polyploidization. In FL-HBx animals, HCC initiation was associated with impairment of ChK1 activation and Mre11 and Rad51 expression (DNA repair proteins), inhibited apoptosis and upregulated IL-6 transcription while in fibrosis, increased expression of α-sma, PdgfR-β, TGF-β, TNF-α as well as a defect in glutamine synthetase expression were observed. In addition, treated FL-HBx animals displayed marked alterations to the cell cycle associated with stronger expression of HCC progenitor cell markers (Ly6D, GpC3, AFP). Finally, we showed that FL-HBx protein induces pathological polyploidization of hepatocytes by upregulating PLK1 through p38/ERK Mapks pathways. That promotes a loss of genomic integrity and an increase of hepatocytes expressing tumor progenitor cell markers during liver fibrosis and HCC initiation., La protéine HBx du virus de l'hépatite B (VHB) potentialise la survenue du carcinome hépatocellulaire (CHC). Cependant, les mécanismes par lesquels, HBx favorise l'instabilité génétique lors de la prolifération hépatique restent flous. La polyploïdisation hépatocytaire participe à la diversité génétique dans le foie. La modulation de la polyploïdie par l'HBx contribuerait-elle au développement de la maladie hépatique ? Ainsi, la polyploïdisation au cours du développement et de la maladie hépatique induite par le tétrachlorure de carbone ou le diéthylnitrosamine, a été évaluée dans les souris transgéniques FL-HBx (forme complète). Au cours du développement postnatal et dans la maladie hépatique, FL-HBx inhibe la binucléation hépatique au profit de noyaux polyploïdes (? 4n) par la dérégulation des transitions G1/S et G2/M, et l'accumulation d'ADN altérés. Une polyploïdisation similaire a été observé dans des souris avec un foie humanisé et infecté par le VHB. Dans les souris FL-HBx, l'initiation du CHC est associée à l'inactivation de ChK1, l'inhibition de Mre11, Rad51 et de l'apoptose, et à la surexpression d'IL-6 tandis que dans la fibrose, l'augmentation d'?-sma, PdgfR-?, TGF-?, TNF-? et la perte de l'expression de la glutamine synthétase ont été observées. De plus, les hépatocytes FL-HBx traitées présentent une prolifération anormale avec une forte expression de Ly6D, GpC3 et AFP. En conclusion, nos résultats montrent que par la surexpression de PLK1 via p38/ERK, FL-HBx induit une polyploïdisation pathologique du foie conduisant à la propagation d'ADN altérés et à l'apparition de marqueurs tumoraux au cours de la fibrose hépatique et de l'initiation du CHC.

Para diseñar programas eficientes de vacunación masiva, debemos conocer la prevalencia de infección por virus de Hepatitis B y C en la población de embarazadas. Dado que la data regional es escasa, llevamos a cabo un estudio prospectivo de determinación de AgHBs, antiHBc, anti-HBs y antiVHC. Materiales Y Métodos: Se recolectaron muestras serológicas de 3.588 embarazadas en control pre-natal referidas al Laboratorio del Sistema Regional de Salud del Estado Zulia, independientemente de edad de gestación en el período Enero 2007-Diciembre 2008. Las muestras fueron procesadas por ELISA (TecnoSuma). Los casos positivos se refirieron a Hepatología del Hospital Universitario de Maracaibo. Resultados: Se detectó AgHBs(+) 3 casos (0,08%) y la combinación AgHBs(-), antiHBc(+), antiHBs(+) que indica seroconversión adecuada en 69 casos (1,92%). Cinco casos (0.13%) se reportaron AgHBs (-), antiHBc(+), antiHBs(-). La mayoría no había tenido contacto con VHB, pero 7,24% de ellas (260 casos) habían sido vacunadas y tenían marcadores negativos. La prevalencia de Hepatitis B y C fue de 2.1% y 0,44% (16 casos) respectivamente. Conclusión: A pesar de la baja prevalencia, madres AgHBs+ tienen gran riesgo de trasmisión vertical y sus hijos se beneficiarían del despistaje para garantizarles inmunización activa y pasiva inmediatamente después del parto In order to design adequate vaccination programs it is necessary to known the Hepatitis B and C virus infection prevalence among pregnant women. Given our poor regional data, we conducted a prospective study for HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBs y anti-HCV seropositivity. Materials And Methods: Serological samples from 3.588 pregnant women no matter gestational age, referred to the Pre-birth Control Consult at the Regional System of Health in Zulia State, between January 2007 and December 2008. Samples were processed by ELISA (TecnoSuma). Positive cases were referred to the Hepatology consult at the Maracaibo University Hospital. Results: HBsAg prevalence was 0.08% (3 cases). We found 1, 92% prevalence (69 cases) for HBsAg (-), antiHBc(+), AntiHBs(+), indicator of adequate seroconversion. Five cases (0, 13%) were reported as HBsAg (-), antiHBc(+), AntiHBs(-). Most women had not contact with HB virus but 260 cases (7, 24%) had received the vaccine and they had other negative markers. Hepatitis B prevalence was 2,1% and Hepatitis C prevalence was 0,44% (16 cases). Conclusion: Despite low prevalence, mothers HBsAg+ have great risk to infection vertical transmission to their child and they will be beneficiated from the HBV screening in order to receive immediate active and passive immunization after delivery
