为探讨丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染在肝癌发生中的作用,从35例HCV-RNA阳性的非甲非乙型肝病患者血清中提取HCV-RNA,经随机引物逆转录合成cDNA,在病毒的C基因区进行分型,再于病毒5'-末端至E1区间以多对引物进行巢式PCR扩增,其最终产物(425bp和621bp)分别连接p-GEM-T载体,在大肠杆菌中表达后进行测序分析。HCV基因型表现为82%Ⅱ型,9%Ⅲ型及9%Ⅱ+Ⅲ混合型。核心蛋白基因(573bp)与已报道的其他株比较,其核苷酸同源性为:慢性肝炎株93.0±2.4%,肝癌株91.4±1.5%;氨基酸同源性为:前者93.9±0.8%,后者91.0±1.6%;核心蛋白基因中核苷酸置换在肝癌株较明显地高于慢性肝炎株。研究结果提示,HCV核心蛋白基因的错义突变,与HCV的慢性持续感染及肝癌发生的关系密切。
To investigate the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma, HCV-RNA was extracted from serum of 35 patients with HCV-RNA positive non-A non-B hepatitis and reverse transcribed into cDNA by random primers. C gene region was typed. Then, multiple pairs of primers were used for nested PCR amplification at the 5’-end of the virus. The final products (425 bp and 621 bp) were respectively linked to the p-GEM-T vector and expressed in E. coli After sequencing analysis. HCV genotypes showed 82% type Ⅱ, 9% Ⅲ and 9% Ⅱ + Ⅲ mixed type. The nucleotide sequence of core protein (573bp) was 93.0 ± 2.4% for chronic hepatitis B and 91.4 ± 1.5% for hepatoma, compared with the other reported strains. Amino acid homology The former was 93.9 ± 0.8% and the latter 91.0 ± 1.6%. Nucleotide substitutions in the core protein gene were significantly higher in hepatocellular carcinoma than those in chronic hepatitis. The results suggest that the HCV core protein gene missense mutation, and HCV chronic persistent infection and the occurrence of liver cancer are closely related.
