Clinical characteristics and distribution of hepatitis B virus genotypes in Guangxi Zhuang population

AIM: To investigate the distribution of HBV genotypes and their YMDD mutations in Guangxi Zhuang population, China, and to study the relationship between HBV genotypes and clinical types of HB, ALT, HBV DNA, HBe system as well as the curative effect of Lamivudine (LAM) on hepatitis B.METHODS: A total of 156 cases were randomly chosen as study subjects from 317 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). HBV genotypes were determined by PCR-microcosmic nucleic acid cross-ELISA. YMDD mutations were detected by microcosmic nucleic acid cross-nucleic acid quantitative determination. HBV DNA was detected by fluorescence ratio PCR analysis.LAM was given to 81 cases and its curative effect was observed by measuring ALT, HBV DNA load, HBeAg, and HBeAg/HBeAb conversion rate.RESULTS: HBV genotypes B, C, D, and non-classified genotypes were found in Guangxi Zhuang population.accounting for 25.6%, 47.4%, 58.3%, and 16.0%,respectively. Seventy-four cases were CD-, CB-, BD-mixed genotypes (47.7%). Forty-six (29.5%) cases had YMDD mutations. Genotype B was mostly found in mild and moderate CHB patients. Genotypes C, D and mixed genotype mostly occurred in severe CHB cases.Genotypes D and CD HBV-infected patients had higher ALT and HBV DNA than patients with other types of HBV infection. There was no significant difference among the genotypes in YMDD mutations, clinical types, ALT and HBV DNA level. Non-classified types geno had a significantly lower positive rate of HBeAg than other genotypes (x2= 12.841, P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in ALT recovery rate, HBV DNA load, HBeAg,and HBeAg/HBeAb conversion rate, 48 wk after LAM treatment between groups of genotypes D, CD, and nonclassified type.CONCLUSION: Genotypes B, C, and D, non-classified and mixed genotype of HBV are identified in the Guangxi Zhuang population. Variations in genotypes are associated with clinical severity and serum ALT levels, but not with YMDD mutation or HBV DNA load.Therapeutic effects of LAM on clinical parameters are not influenced by differences in genotypes. Further studies are needed to gain an in-depth understanding of the relationship between HBV genotypes and serum HBeAb and HBeAg.

Effects of Zhuang Gu Zhi Tong Formula on Wnt/β-catenin Osteoporosis Pathway Antagonist SOST in Osteoporosis

Objective To observe the effects of Zhuang Gu Zhi Tong Formula (ZGZTF) on antagonist SOST in canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in osteoporosis. Methods We analyzed the differential genes of patients with osteoporosis and normal subjects from the GEO database and then found SOST with specific expression. We analyzed SOST as an antagonist of the Wnt signaling pathway by the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. Then we studied the effect of ZGZTF on SOST in Wnt signaling pathway. Osteoporosis model was induced by ovariectomy (OVX) in 8-week-old female Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. After 12 weeks of treatment with ZGZTF by intragastric administration, the rats were put to death in batch. The changes of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone gla protein (BGP) and estradiol (E2) in serum were determined, and bone mineral density (BMD) and histomorphology of right femur were observed. Biomechanics of lumbar vertebra were measured, and the expression of SOST, Wnt3a,β-catenin, LRP5, Runx2, Osx and their mRNA involving the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were detected by Western blot, RT-PCR and Immunohistochemical analysis. All data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0. Results Twelve weeks of treatment with ZGZTF could significantly decrease the level of ALP and BGP in serum, increase the BMD of femurs, and improve the biomechanical capability of vertebral body in maximum loading and elastic modulus. Concerning histomorphology, we found ordered arrangement of trabeculae, slightly thinning of trabeculae and none obvious slight fractures in femurs after 12 weeks of treatment with ZGZTF. The expression of LRP5,β-catenin, Runx2 and Osx involved in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was significantly up-regulated in the presence of ZGZTF,and the expression of SOST in this pathway was down-regulated. Conclusions These results suggest that ZGZTF may be antiosteoporosis by down-regulating SOST protein to promote Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
