ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes and significance of serum soluble programmed death-1 (sPD-1) in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and study its role in the progression of CHC. Methods Serum levels of sPD-1 in CHC patients and healthy controls ( HC) were measured using ELISA and compared. Correlations of serum sPD-1 with peripheral hepatitis C virus ( HCV) RNA, alanine amin-otransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and liver fibrosis (indicated by APRI) were ana-lyzed. Results The serum sPD-1 level in the CHC group was significantly higher than that in the HC group (P<0. 05), and positively correlated with peripheral HCV RNA, ALT and AST (P<0. 05). In addition, the serum sPD-1 levels in patients with APRI greater than 1. 2 (indicating severe liver fibrosis) were higher than those in patients without or with mild liver fibrosis (P<0. 05). Conclusions sPD-1 might be involve in the progression of CHC. Measuring serum sPD-1 in CHC patients would assist the prediction of disease progression and help to make the correct diagnosis and appropriate clinical therapy decision.
