摘要:
目的 探讨慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者与HBV相关慢加急性肝衰竭(HBV-ACLF)患者血浆外泌体microRNA(miRNA)表达谱差异,分析其功能及生物学过程,以期获得可用于HBV-ACLF临床诊断的参考依据。 方法 选取2021年10月—2022年6月青岛市市立医院感染科住院的6例CHB患者及青岛市第六人民医院血液净化中心接受治疗的6例HBV-ACLF患者。运用Illumina高通量测序技术对这些患者的血浆外泌体miRNA进行检测,筛选差异miRNA并进行功能富集分析,分析其参与的生物学过程。检测得到的外泌体差异miRNA以倍数上调>2倍或下调>2倍且P<0.05为标准筛选。计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U秩和检验。计数资料两组间比较采用χ2检验。 结果 筛选差异miRNA共249种,与CHB组相比,HBV-ACLF组上调miRNA 126种,下调miRNA 123种。生物信息学分析结果显示,这些差异表达miRNA主要参与了性腺发育、调控蛋白质稳定性、细胞对外界刺激反应等生物学过程,并与乙型肝炎、蛋白多糖在癌症中的作用、调节干细胞多能性、MAPK、Hippo、TNF、脂质代谢等信号通路密切相关。 结论 通过Illumina高通量测序技术筛选出的差异miRNA可能作为HBV-ACLF早期诊断及预后判断的生物标志物。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the differences in plasma exosomal microRNA (miRNA) expression profile between patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and those with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF), as well as their functions and biological processes, and to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis of HBV-ACLF. Methods Six patients with CHB who were hospitalized in Department of Infectious Diseases, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, and six patients with HBV-ACLF who were treated in Blood Purification Center of Qingdao Sixth People's Hospital from October 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled. Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the plasma exosomal miRNAs of these patients to obtain the differentially expressed miRNAs between the two groups. The differentially expressed miRNAs were screened, and a functional enrichment analysis was performed to identify the biological processes involving such miRNAs. The Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Results A total of 249 differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs were obtained according to the criteria of upregulation >2-fold or downregulation >2-fold, with P < 0.05, and compared with the CHB group, there were 126 upregulated miRNAs and 123 downregulated miRNAs. The bioinformatics analysis showed that these differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in the biological processes such as gonadal development, regulation of protein stability, and cellular response to external stimuli, and they were closely associated with the signaling pathways such as hepatitis B, the role of proteoglycans in cancer, regulation of stem cell pluripotency, MAPK, Hippo, TNF, and lipid metabolism. Conclusion The differentially expressed miRNAs identified by Illumina high-throughput sequencing may be used as biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of HBV-ACLF. -
