Association between interleukin‑15 gene polymorphisms and efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment in patients with HBeAg‑negative chronic hepatitis B
To analyze the association between interleukin-15 (IL-15) gene polymorphisms and the efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment in patients with hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Methods
2
A total of 312 HBeAg-negative CHB patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (
n
=156) and the control group (
n
=156). Both groups received antiviral treatment of Western medicine. In addition, the treatment group received Bushen Jianpi Lishi Granules (Kidney-tonifying and Spleen-Strengthening Dampness-Dispersing Granules), while the control group received a placebo of the granules. Patients in both groups were treated for one year. The treatment response rates of the two groups were compared, and changes in serum IL-15 levels were observed. Tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL-15 gene were selected for genotyping, and the association between IL-15 gene polymorphisms and treatment response was analyzed.
Results
2
①A total of 306 patients completed the trial, including 155 patients in the treatment group and 151 patients in the control group. ②There was no statistically significant difference in the treatment response rate between the two groups (
P
>
0.05). ③Intra-group comparisons before and after treatment showed that serum HBsAg levels decreased and IL-15 levels increased in the treatment group (
P
<
0.05), and serum HBsAg levels decreased in the control group (
P
<
0.05). Inter-group comparisons after treatment showed statistically significant differences in serum HBsAg and IL-15 levels (
P
<
0.05). ④After treatme
nt, serum IL-15 levels increased in patients with a treatment response and decreased in patients without a response in both groups (
P
<
0.05), and patients with a treatment response had higher IL-15 levels than patients without a treatment response in the treatment group (
P
<
0.05). ⑤The results of association analysis revealed significant associations between treatment response and five SNPs: rs6819823, rs2857261, rs10519612, rs10519613, and rs1057972 (
P
<
0.05). ⑥Before treatment, patients in the treatment group with the rs6819823 TT genotype had lower serum IL-15 levels than those with the GG genotype, those with the rs2857261 AA genotype had lower IL-15 levels than those with the GG genotype, and those with the rs1057972 AA genotype had lower IL-15 levels than those with the TT genotype (
P
<
0.05). After treatment, patients carrying the minor alleles of rs6819823, rs2857261, rs10519612, rs10519613, and rs1057972 as homozygotes or heterozygotes showed an increase in serum IL-15 levels (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Genetic variations in the IL-15 gene and changes in IL-15 expression levels are associated with the clinical efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment in patients with HBeAg-negative CHB.
