摘要
众所周知干扰素应答在慢性丙型感染病毒感染中是下调的。特别是几项研究表示那些患有慢性HCV感染具有干扰素刺激基因的高自然水平的的患者不能实现病毒的清除以及对于聚乙二醇化干扰素α和利巴韦林的治疗具有较差的应答性。与其他HCV感染患者相比,负责较高内源性的ISG表达的病毒和(或)宿主因子仍有待确定。然而, III型干扰素特别是新发现的拉姆达干扰素(L)4基因,似乎在驱动ISG反应和促进HSV持久性的建立中起主要作用。本综述的重点阐述近期ISG应答和IFNλ基因因子是如何影响HCV感染的临床结果,强调了在当前抗病毒治疗中使用直接抗病毒剂的影响。

摘要: It is known that the production of and/or response to interferon (IFN) are deregulated during chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In particular, several studies have shown that patients with chronic HCV infection who have a high natural level of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) do not achieve viral clearance and have a poor response to treatment with pegylated IFNα and ribavirin. The viral and/or host factors that are responsible for the higher endogenous ISGs expression in some HCV infected patients compared to others remain to be determined. However, type III IFNs, and in particular the new discovered IFN lambda (L) 4 Gene, appear to play a dominant role in driving ISGs response and in contributing to the establishment of HCV persistence. This review focuses on recent studies on how the ISGs response and the IFNλ genetic factors (interleukin-28B and IFNL4) affect the clinical outcome of HCV infection highlighting their impact in the current antiviral therapies with direct acting antiviral agents.
