Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS:A sequence of 40 amino acids within the nonstructural protein 5A of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been suggested to be an interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR). The variations in the ISDR after 12-14 years of chronic infection and the correlation between ISDR and interferon response were studied in patients who were infected by the same HCV isolate. METHODS:We determined the HCV-ISDRs of 13 chronically infected patients by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products. All patients were infected by isolate HCV-AD78, but differed with respect to their sensitivity to interferon. Four patients were complete responders, two patients were non-responders, and seven showed a partial response. RESULTS:The ISDR of HCV-AD78 differed from a prototypical HCV-1b sequence in one amino acid and was therefore classified as an intermediate type. Direct sequencing of the HCV-ISDRs of the patients 12-14 years after infection, but before interferon therapy, revealed a rate of 2.2x10(-3) nucleotide substitutions per site per year, resulting in only single intermediate type amino acid exchanges. All sequences ranked with the intermediate type. Moreover, during interferon treatment no selection to a wild type ISDR was observed in five partial responders. CONCLUSIONS:Within the homogeneous patient group examined here, no correlation was found between the ISDR and the interferon response. Recent studies found only a small number of mutant type ISDRs in Europe. Additionally, our results indicate that the ISDR is a stable sequence element. This provides an explanation for the divergent data relating to the importance of the ISDR in different geographical regions.
