METHODS: This study enrolled two groups of pa- tients aged 40-60 years: a control group and an HCV- infected group in Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Changhua Christian Hospital. Patients with co-infection with hepatitis B virus or human im- munodeficiency virus, autoimmune disease, malignant neoplasia, pregnancy, thyroid disease, or alcohol con- sumption 〉 40 g/d were excluded. HCV-infected pa- tients who met the following criteria were included: (1) positive HCV antibodies for 〉 6 mo; (2) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels more than twice the upper lim- it of normal on at least two occasions during the past 6 mo; and (3) histological fibrosis stage higher than F1. The mtDNA copy number and oxidative damage index of HCV mtDNA (mtDNA△CT) were measured in periph- eral blood leukocytes. The association between mtDNA copy number and mtDNA△CT was further analyzed using clinical data. RESULTS: Forty-seven normal controls (male/female: 26/21, mean age 50.51 ± 6.15 years) and 132 HCV- infected patients (male/female: 76/61, mean age 51.65 ± 5.50 years) were included in the study. The geno- types of HCV-infected patients include type 1a (n = 3), type 1b (n = 83), type 2a (n = 32), and type 2b (n = 14). Liver fibrosis stages were distributed as follows: F1/F2/F3/F4 = 1/61/45/25 and activity scores were A0/ A1/A2/A3 = 7/45/55/25. There were no age or gender differences between the two groups. HCV-infected pa- tients had higher hepatitis activity (aspartate transami- nase levels 108.77 ± 60.73 vs 23.19 ± 5.47, P 〈 0.01; ALT levels 168.69 ± 93.12 vs 23.15 ± 9.45, P 〈 0.01) and lower platelet count (170.40±58.00 vs 251.24 ± 63.42, P 〈 0.01) than controls. The mtDNA copy num- ber was lower in HCV-infected patients than in controls (173.49 vs 247.93, P 〈 0.05). The mtDNA△CT was higher in HCV-infected patients than in controls (2.92 vs 0.64, P 〈 0.05). To clarify the clinical significance of these results in HCV-infected patients, their association with different clinical parameters among HCV-infected pa- tients was analyzed. A negative association was found between mtDNA copy number and elevated aspartate transaminase levels (r = -0.17, P 〈 0.05). Changes in mtDNA copy number were not associated with HCV RNA levels, HCV genotypes, liver fibrosis severity, or inflammatory activity in the liver biopsy specimen. How- ever, a correlation was observed between mtDNA△CT and platelet count (r = -0.22, P 〈 0.01), HCV RNA level (r = 0.36, P 〈 0.01), and hepatitis activity (r = 0.20, P = 0.02). However, no difference in the change in mtDNA△CT was observed between different fibrosis stages or HCV CONCLUSION: Oxidative stress and mtDNA dam- age are detectable in patient's peripheral leukocytes. Increased leukocyte mtDNA△CT correlates with higher HCV viremia, increased hepatitis activity, and lower platelet count.展开更多
