Additionally, HBV core antigen (HBcAg) in vitro stimulation using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 113 patients was done to assess interferon (IFN-) production.Results.Of the study subjects, 204 (73.4) developed spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion, 21 (7.6) developed spontaneous HBsAg clearance, and 10 (3.6) had spontaneous HBsAg seroconversion during the 19.1 ± 9.9 years of follow-up. The T allele at TLR5 rs5744174 (p.Phe616Leu) and the C allele at TLR9 rs5743836 promoter predicted earlier HBeAg seroconversion (hazard ratios [HRs], 2.45 and 3.65; P =. 04, and. 006, respectively). The TLR5 rs5744174 T allele carriers have higher PBMCs IFN-secretion to HBcAg stimulation (P=. 0002). The G allele carriers at TLR4 rs4986790 (p.Asp299Gly) predicted spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance (HR, 18.73; P <. 001) and seroconversion (HR, 43.45; P <. 001).Conclusions. Toll-like receptor 5 rs5744174 (p.Phe616Leu) and TLR9 rs5743836 promoter area polymorphism were associated with earlier spontaneous HBeAg seroconversion. Toll-like receptor 4 rs4986790 (p.Asp299Gly) was associated with HBsAg seroclearance/seroconversion in chronic HBV patients. Toll-like receptor 5 rs5744174 (p.Phe616Leu) was associated with higher IFN-production in chronic HBV-infected patients. ? The Author 2012. |
