Clinical significance of decoy receptor 3 upregulation in patients with hepatitis B and liver fibrosis.

Abstract:

:Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a tumor necrosis factor receptor, which may inhibit apoptosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of DcR3 upregulation in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatic fibrosis. A total of 128 patients with a clinical diagnosis of CHB who underwent liver biopsy were included in the present study. The expression levels of DcR3, hyaluronic acid (HA), type III procollagen, type IV collagen (IV-C) and laminin protein were assessed. The diagnostic value of DcR3 in patients with CHB with hepatic fibrosis was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. DcR3 was significantly upregulated in patients with CHB, particularly in patients with active CHB. The expression of DcR3 was significantly increased in patients with CHB with liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis, compared with patients with CHB without liver fibrosis. The area under the ROC curve for the diagnosis of CHB liver fibrosis based on DcR3 or DcR3 combined with IV-C/HA was 0.807 or 0.869, with a sensitivity and specificity of 76.9 and 77.8% or 84.6 and 81.2%, respectively. DcR3 is a marker for liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B infection. The use of DcR3 in combination with IV-C and HA may further increase its diagnostic value for liver fibrosis.
