negative association of plasma levels of vitamin d and mir-378 with viral load in patients with chronic hepatitis b infection

چکیده
background chronic hepatitis b (chb) is accompanied by inflammation of liver because of infection with hepatitis b virus (hbv). previous studies revealed an inverse association between vitamin d and hbv dna levels. objectives the current study aimed to investigate the levels of 25 (oh) d3 (the steady form of vitamin d), mir-378 and hbv dna in the patients with chb. patients and methods one hundred and seventy three patients with hbeag negative chb were recruited for the study. plasma levels of hbvdna and 25 (oh) d3 were quantified. the expression level of mir-378 in plasma was measured by a relative quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qrt-pcr) assay. results in the pathway regression analysis, the plasma level of 25 (oh) d3 showed a significant inverse correlation with plasma levels of hbv dna (-0.198, p = 0.008) and direct correlation with mir-378 (0.188, p = 0.013). similarly plasma level of mir-378 had inverse association with hbv dna level (-0.177, p = 0.020). conclusions these results suggest that vitamin d could involve in a mirna- mediated regulatory pathway in control of hbv replication. further studies are recommended to understand the effects of mir-378 and anti-infective action of vitamin d on hepatitis b virus.

OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to investigate the levels of 25 (OH) D3 (the steady form of vitamin D), miR-378 and HBV DNA in the patients with CHB. PATIENTS AND METHODS One ...
متن کاملEvaluation of miR-101 Level in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Liver Cirrhosis
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: MiRNAs are small RNAs that are expressed in most eukaryotes, and can regulate gene expression by attaching to the 3’ end of target mRNA. MicroRNA-101 (miR-101) post-transcriptional regulation is important for host-virus interactions. In addition, miR-101 has a tumor suppressive role in liver cancer and metastasis, an...
متن کاملAssociation of Plasma Levels of Vitamin D With Chronic Hepatitis B Infection
Vitamin D has been identified as an immune-modulator due to its immunomodulatory effects on cells of the immune system during the last decade. Research on vitamin D level in patients with HBV is a relatively new subject, which has been investigated in many studies. As the first step, the beneficial role of vitamin D in patients with HBV was suggested by Luong and Nguyen in 2012 (1). In the foll...
متن کاملCan Viral Load Predict Liver Histology in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B?
Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. Serum HBV DNA measurement is a non-invasive test that predicts the liver disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the HBV DNA level and look for a relation between the HBV DNA level and liver histology. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on chronic...
متن کاملVitamin D levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with several adverse health outcomes, and vitamin D appears to have systemic antimicrobial effects that may be crucial in a variety of both acute and chronic illnesses. In the present study, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels were compared among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection, naturally immunized individuals and control individuals. Thirty-...
