Abstract：
:Successful elimination of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) during acute infection has been linked to strong HCV-specific in vitro T-cell proliferation, whereas T cells from patients with chronic hepatitis C respond only weakly to HCV antigens. Lipid-coupled peptides are immunostimulants, which might provide a basis for novel therapeutic strategies against HCV. Therefore, in 20 patients with chronic hepatitis C, we studied whether tri-palmitoyl-S-cysteine-coupled peptides could modify in vitro T-cell proliferation (by [3H]thymidine uptake) in response to virus core and NS4. The lipopeptides corresponded to five immunodominant T helper epitopes of HCV core. Contrary to unmodified peptides, the lipopeptides specifically enhanced [3H]thymidine uptake in response to HCV antigens but not to a non-HCV related control antigen. They increased the frequency of responders (stimulation index, SI > or = 4) to core (13/20 versus 2/20; p = 0.0008) and NS4 (20/20 versus 7/20; p < 0.0001) among our patients with chronic hepatitis C. This immunostimulatory effect was dose-dependent, and was observed specifically with lipopeptides corresponding to the HCV epitopes. Our data demonstrate that the poor in vitro T-cell proliferation of patients with chronic hepatitis C can be improved when T cells are co-stimulated with HCV core-derived T helper lipopeptides, while the same peptides in unlipidated form had no effects. Thus, lipopeptides corresponding to HCV T-cell epitopes may offer novel immunomodulatory strategies against HCV.
