The PD-L1/BT-2 ratios in immunoreactive and immunotolerant patients were significantly higher than that of the healthy controls （P all 〈 0.01）; the PD-L1/ B7-2 ratio was significantly higher in the immunoreactive patients than in the immunotolerant patients （P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion： In chronic HBV infection, changes in the expression of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules imply a protective adjustment against the patient＇ s immune response that may result in increased immunotolerance and persistent HBV infection.

Clinical significance of serum sB7-H3 and IL-1 in patients with hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of serum sB7-H3 and IL-1 in patients with hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: 122 cases of patients with hepatitis B related liver diseases admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to June 2018 were selected, including 47 cases of patients with hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma, 41 cases of patients with hepatitis B related cirrhosis and 34 cases of patients with hepatitis B virus, and 45 cases of healthy persons in the same period as normal control group. The serum sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β levels were compared among the four groups. The relationship between serum sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed, and the correlation of sB7-H3, IL-1α and IL-1β was analyzed by Pearson method. The efficacy of serum sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β in early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation for hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma were analyzed by ROC and Logistic regression analysis. Results: The serum sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β levels in the four groups were in order from high to low: hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma>hepatitis B related cirrhosis>hepatitis B virus>normal control group, all above had statistical difference (P<0.05). The high levels of serum sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β were significantly correlated with TNM stage, alpha fetoprotein level and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the serum level of sB7-H3 was positively correlated with IL-1α and IL-1β(r=0.837, 0.756;P<0.05), the serum level of IL-1α was positively correlated with IL-1β(r=0.734, P<0.05). The ROC curve and Logistic regression analysis showed that the AUC of sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β and combined detection for the diagnosis of hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma was 0.893, 0.887, 0.881, 0.961 (P<0.05), respectively;the AUC of sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β and combined detection for the prognostic evaluation for hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma was 0.843, 0.837, 0.834, 0.917, respectively. Conclusion:Serum sB7-H3, IL-1α, IL-1β levels could all be used for the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of hepatitis B associated hepatocellular carcinoma, and the combined detection is more effective, which has important clinical significance.

Synergetic anticancer effect of combined quercetin and recombinant adenoviral vector expressing human wild-type p53,GM-CSF and B7-1 genes on hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro

AIM: This study investigated the anti-cancer effect ofcombined quercetin and a recombinant adenovirus vectorexpressing the human p53, GM-CSF and B7-1 genes(designated BB-102) on human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cell lines in vitro.METHODS: The sensitivity of HCC cells to anticancer agentswas evaluated by 3-(4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The viability of cells infectedwith BB-102 was determined by trypan blue exclusion. Theexpression levels of human wild-type p53, GM-CSF and B7-1genes were determined by Western blot, enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometric analysis,respectively. The apoptosis of BB-102-infected or quercetin-treated HCC cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT) assay or DNA ladder electrophoresis.RESULTS: Quercetin was found to suppress proliferation ofhuman HCC cell lines BEL-7402, HUH-7 and HLE, with peaksuppression at 50 μmol/L quercetin. BB-102 infection wasalso found to significantly suppress proliferation of HCC celllines. The apoptosis of BB-102-infected HCC cells was greaterin HLE and HUH-7 cells than in BEL-7402 cells. Quercetin didnot affect the expression of the three exogenous genes inBB-102-infected HCC cells (P＞0.05), but it was found to furtherdecrease proliferation and promote apoptosis of BB-102-infected HCC cells.CONCLUSION: BB-102 and quercetin synergeticallysuppress HCC cell proliferation and induce HCC cell apoptosis,suggesting a possible use as a combined anti-cancer agent.

Prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in mice by IL-2 and B7-1 genes co-transfected liver cancer cell vaccines

AIM: To study the immunoprotective effect of liver cancer vaccine with co-transfected IL-2 and B7-1 genes on hepatocarcinogenesis in mice.METHODS: The murine liver cancer cell line Hepal-6 was transfected with IL-2 and/or B7-1 gene via recombinant adenoviral vectors and the liver cancer vaccines were prepared. C57BL/6 mice were immunized with these vaccines and challenged with the parental Hepal-6 cells afterwards.The immunoprotection was investigated and the reactive T cell line was assayed.RESULTS: The immunoprotection of the tumor vaccine was demonstrated. The effect of IL-2 and B7-1 genes cotransfected Hepal-6 liver cancer vaccine (Hep6-IL2/B7vaccine) on the onset of tumor formation was the strongest.When attacked with wild Hepal-6 cells, the median survival period of the mice immunized with Hep6-IL2/B7 vaccine was the longest (68 days, χ2=7.70-11.69, P＜0.05) and the implanted tumor was the smallest (z =3.20-44.10, P＜0.05).The effect of single IL-2 or B7-1 gene-transfected vaccine was next to the IL2/B7 gene co-transfected group, and the mean survival periods were 59 and 54 days, respectively.The mean survival periods of wild or enhanced green fluorescence protein gene modified vaccine immunized group were 51 and 48 days, respectively. The mice in control group all died within 38 days and the implanted tumor was the largest (z=3.20-40.21, P＜0.05). The cellular immunofunction test and cytotoxicity study showed that the natural killer (NK) cell, lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cell and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activities were significantly increased in mice immunized with the Hep6-IL2/B7 vaccine, (29.5±2.5%,65.0±2.9%, 83.1±1.5% respectively, compared with other groups, P＜0.05).CONCLUSION: The Hep6-IL2/B7 liver cancer vaccines can induce the mice to produce activated and specific CTL against the parental tumor cells, and demonstrate stronger effect on the hepatocarcinogenesis than single gene modified or the regular tumor vaccine. Therefore, the vaccines may become a novel potential therapy for recurrence and metastasis of HCC.

Ribavirin and IFN-α combination therapy induces CD4+ T-cell proliferation and Th1 cytokine secretion in patients with chronic hepatitis B

AIM: To investigate the anti-viral mechanism of combination therapy of interferon (IFN)-α and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis B. METHODS: Twenty patients were assigned to receive either IFN-α plus ribavirin (group A,n = 14) or no treatment as a control (group B,n = 6). Patients were analyzed for T-cell proliferative responses specific for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-antigen and cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). RESULTS: Combination therapy induced HBV-antigen specific CD4+ T-cell proliferative responses in four patients (28.6%). Production of high levels of HBV-specific IFN-γ,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interleukin (IL)-12 by PBMCs was found in five patients (35.7%),who showed significantly lower HBV DNA levels in serum at 12 mo after treatment ended (P = 0.038) and at 24 mo of follow-up (P = 0.004) than those without high levels of cytokine production. CONCLUSION: HBV-antigen specific CD4+ T cells may directly control HBV replication and secretion of anti-viral T helper 1 (Th1) cytokines by PBMCs during combination therapy of chronic hepatitis B with ribavirin and IFN-α.

Study of human B7 homolog 1 expression in patients with hepatitis B virus infection

AIM: To further investigate the role of human B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1) in the mechanism of persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. METHODS: Peripheral and intra-hepatic B7-H1 expression were compared by flow cytometry and immunochemical staining between two 2 distinct groups, one being chronic HBV tolerance patients (CHB-T) and the other being acute hepatitis B patients (AHB). B7-H1 mRNA expression level was also compared by real time polymerase chain reaction between CHB-T and AHB patients. The location of intra-hepatic B7-H1 and CD40 expression were analyzed by immunofluorescence. The levels of B7-H1 and CD40 expression on cultured myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) with or without hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) treatment were analyzed dynamically by flow cytometry. Intracellular interferon-γ (IFN-γ) staining and the stimulatory capacity of mDC of cultured mDC with or without HBsAg treatment were also compared by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Peripheral B7-H1 expression on mDCs was increased significantly in AHB compared to CHB-T patients (P < 0.05). In the liver tissues from CHB-T patients, B7-H1 positive cells were almost absent despite a persistently elevated serum HBsAg load. In contrast, there were indeed increased B7-H1-positive cells in situ in the liver tissue from AHB. In vitro analysis showed the parallel upregulation of B7-H1 and CD40 on CD11c+ mDCs after the onset of stimulation. Addition of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (rHBsAg) significantly decreased CD40 expression (P < 0.05 at 16 h, 20 h and 24 h time points). B7-H1 expression was also inhibited by rHBsAg, and the inhibition rate of CD40 was greater than that of B7-H1. This preferential inhibition of CD40 expression on mDCs by rHBsAg resulted in the dysfunction of mDCs and T cells in the mixed leucocyte reaction (MLR) system. With rHBsAg pretreatment, in a carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) labeled MLR system at a ratio of 1:5 responder cell-stimulator cell (R/S), the CFSE dim percentage of T cells decreased from 85.1% to 25.4% and decreased from 30.3% to 12.0% at 1:10 R/S. IFN-γ production by CD8+ T cells, in the MLR system, was reduced significantly by HBsAg pretreatment. At ratios of 1:5 R/S, the percentage of IFN-γ and CD8 dual positive T cells decreased from 55.2% ± 5.3% to 15.1% ±3.1% (P < 0.001), and decreased from 35.0% ± 5.1% to 7.3% ± 2.7% at ratios of 1:10 R/S (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: B7-H1 is not a signature of immune dysfunction, but an inflammation marker. HBsAg regulate immune response by tipping the balance between B7-H1 and CD40.
