PEVIVA用于肝脏疾病——细胞凋亡和肝脏损伤


PEVIVA用于肝脏疾病——细胞凋亡和肝脏损伤



  由细胞凋亡引起肝细胞死亡在所有急性和慢性肝脏疾病中都有出现。细胞修复后的应激反应包括炎症和纤维化都可以由细胞凋亡引起。这些生物学效应中,肝纤维化可能是最严重的,最终肝纤维化恶化成肝硬化。

  引起肝纤维化的主要原因是病毒性肝炎(比如乙肝病毒和丙肝病毒感染),酒精性脂肪肝(ASH)和非酒精性脂肪肝(NASH)。实验和临床研究表明肝细胞凋亡有助于形成肝纤维化。进来研究也表明肝细胞凋亡与患有慢性HBV、HCV病人和非酒精性脂肪肝的疾病状态有关。

  在临床方面,评估肝脏疾病情况和监测慢性肝脏疾病病人一直以来是个大挑战。虽然肝脏活检被认为是评估患病情况的标准方法,但是这种侵入式的技术有一定风险,不适合疾病监测。

  因此,在肝脏损伤的血清标记物和治疗反馈中,非常希望提供一种非入侵式方法检测人肝细胞凋亡状况。» Brochure: M30 Apoptosense ELISA – A Serum Apoptosis Marker for Chronic Liver Disease

 


肝脏细胞凋亡生物标记物Caspase-cleaved K18 (“M30″)

  细胞凋亡的最后常规步骤, caspases (特别是caspase-3 和caspase-7)激活。这些特定的细胞内水解酶可以催化世界几种细胞来源的底物,包括角蛋白18 (K18, 也称为细胞角蛋白18 或者CK18), 由干细胞表达的主要中间丝状体蛋白。

  M30单抗检测caspase催化水解K18后在Asp396处形成的新表位(Leers et al., 1999; 专利注册1998). M30 Apoptosense® ELISA与该抗体,试剂盒自出用于肿瘤研究 (Hägg et al., 2002, Ueno et al., 2003, Kramer et al., 2004).

  接着发现可用M30 Apoptosense® ELISA检测丙肝病毒(HCV)感染引起的肝细胞凋亡 (Bantel et al., 2004).来自肝细胞,由caspase催化水解K18产生的片段可在血液循环中检测到。 M30 Apoptosense® ELISA可用于HCV的预后好监测(见以下内容). Bantel et al. 首次发现使用M30 Apoptosense® ELISA检测肝细胞凋亡胡,其他研究者也发现与肝细胞凋亡相关的其他疾病,血液循环中 caspase-cleaved K18升高。非酒精性脂肪肝(NASH) 是其中一种疾病,M30 Apoptosense® ELISA 可用于确诊该疾病的患病情况 (Wieckowska et al., 2006)。毒素相关的脂肪性肝炎 (TASH; Cave et al., 2010) 严重胆道感染和严重胆汁淤积的病人 (Yagmur et al., 2007; reviewed by Yilmaz, 2009).也有相似结果报道。

HCV临床的细胞凋亡标记物


  大约全世界人口的3%—超过1700万人口—感染了丙肝病毒。大约70%的感染转变成慢性:与恶化成晚期肝脏疾病有关,比如肝硬化和肝细胞癌症(HCC)。慢性HCV感染病人的M30值大部分与常规替代标记物比如转氨酶水平有关。然后,正常ALT病人和患有HCV相关肝纤维化病人的血清中caspase-cleaved 角蛋白18水平提高,表明M30在检测早期肝脏损伤方面是一个更灵敏的标记物。检测血清样品中caspase活性也反映了那些病人肝脏脂肪变性的程度。另外,在检测慢性HBV感染的病人方面,M30也 一个可信的血清标记物。

  时下进行的抗病毒治疗中,大概50%的HCV病人治疗没有效果。所以很需要在早期就能检测出这些疾病(这些疾病对抗病毒治疗无效)。进来对315个病人研究,证明在进行抗病毒治疗时治疗有效病人血清中M30水平会下降,但是治疗无效的病人血清中M30的值不会下降。(Sgier et al., 2010).

NASH病人中caspase-cleaved K18


  非酒精性脂肪肝是一连串的脂肪不正常现象,从脂肪变性到非酒精性脂肪肝。根据观察,HCV感染病人的脂肪变性与M30的血清水平相关,近来研究表明血清中caspase-cleaved K18水平与NAFLD病人肝脏脂肪变性有关。而且,这项研究血清中caspase-cleaved K18检测可以区分简单的NAFLD和NASH,检测患晚期肝脏疾病的风险。
