摘要: 目的 探讨慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者肝X受体α(LXRα)和细胞色素P450亚型7A1(CYP7A1)基因表达水平与肝组织病理学炎症和纤维化程度的关系。方法 2019年1月~2020年10月我院收治的CHB患者118例,均接受肝穿刺活检,将炎症活动度分级>G2和肝纤维化分期>S2定义为肝组织炎症或纤维化程度显著;采用免疫组织化学染色法检测肝组织LXRα和CYP7A1表达,采用RT-PCR法检测LXRα mRNA和CYP7A1 mRNA水平。结果 118例CHB患者肝组织LXRα和CYP7A1蛋白和/或其mRNA阳性分别为78.0%和73.7%;38例肝组织显著炎症组LXRα mRNA和其蛋白(AOD)水平分别为(0.6±0.2)和(0.3±0.1),显著高于80例非显著炎症患者[分别为(0.4±0.1)和(0.1±0.0),P<0.05],CYP7A1 mRNA和其蛋白(AOD)水平分别为(0.8±0.2)和(0.4±0.1),显著高于非显著炎症患者[分别为(0.3±0.1)和(0.1±0.0),P<0.05];48例显著肝纤维化组肝组织LXRα mRNA和其蛋白(AOD)水平分别为(0.7±0.2)和(0.3±0.1),显著高于70例非显著肝纤维化患者[分别为(0.3±0.1)和(0.1±0.1),P<0.05],CYP7A1 mRNA和其蛋白(AOD)水平分别为(0.7±0.2)和(0.3±0.1),显著高于非显著肝纤维化患者[分别为(0.4±0.2)和(0.2±0.1),P<0.05]。结论 LXRα和CYP7A1表达上调可能参与了CHB患者肝组织炎症和肝纤维化发生发展过程,其机制值得进一步研究。

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between liver X receptor α (LXRα) and cytochrome P450 isoform 7A1 (CYP7A1) expression and liver histopathological inflammatory grading and fibrotic staging in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods 118 patients with CHB were enrolled in our hospital between January 2019 and October 2020, all patients underwent liver biopsies and histological activity >=G2 and liver fibrosis >=S2 were defined as significant inflammation or significant fibrosis. The expression and their mRNA levels of LXRα and CYP7A1 in liver tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining and by RT-PCR. Results The positive rates of hepatic LXRα和CYP7A1mRNA and/or their proteins in 118 patients with CHB were 78.0% and 73.7%, respectively; the LXRα mRNA level and its protein expression in 38 patients with significant liver inflammation were (0.6±0.2) and (0.3±0.1)average optical density (AOD), significantly higher or stronger than [(0.4±0.1) and (0.1±0.0)AOD, respectively, P<0.05] in 80 patients without significant hepatic histopathological inflammation, and the CYP7A1 mRNA level and its protein expression were (0.8±0.2) and (0.4±0.1)AOD, significantly higher or stronger than [(0.3±0.1) and (0.1±0.0)AOD, respectively, P<0.05] in patients without significant hepatic inflammation; the LXRα mRNA and its protein expression in 48 patients with significant liver fibrosis were (0.7±0.2) and (0.3±0.1)AOD, significantly higher or stronger than [(0.3±0.1) and (0.1±0.1)AOD, P<0.05] in 70 patients without significant liver fibrosis, and the CYP7A1 mRNA level and its protein expression were (0.7±0.2)and (0.3±0.1)AOD, significantly higher or stronger than [(0.4±0.2) and (0.2±0.1)AOD, respectively, P<0.05] in patients without significant liver fibrosis. Conclusion The up-regulation of LXRα and CYP7A1 gene might be involved in the pathogenesis of liver inflammation and fibrosis, which needs further investigation.
