Influence of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 polymorphisms on the outcomes of hepatitis B virus infection.

Abstract:

:Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) regulates T-cell activation and Th1/Th2 cytokine production and is involved in the immune response against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To detect the association of the CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to HBV infection a hospital-based case-control study was conducted. A total of 1,119 unrelated individuals were recruited. The CTLA-4 variants rs5742909, rs231775 and rs3087243 were genotyped via the TaqMan method in this cohort. A comparison with a chronic active hepatitis B group revealed that the SNP rs231775 exhibited significant susceptibility to HBV progression, with the highest odds ratio (OR) reaching 1.659 and P=0.009-0.049. Although an HBV clearance group was used as a control, results of the present study demonstrated an association of rs5742909 with viral persistence [OR=1.694, 95% confidence intervals (CI)=1.124-2.553 and P=0.012]. Subsequent analyses revealed risk haplotypes (C-A-A and T-A-G, for which the highest OR reached 1.865) compared with the protective haplotype C-G-G. Therefore, SNPs in the CTLA-4 gene may be associated with HBV progression and viral persistence which is consistent with its emerging role in the T regulatory cells in the pathogenesis of disease.
