Targeting HBV Messenger RNA Transcription
One promising antiviral target is viral messenger RNA (mRNA) transcription. Chronic HBV infection is characterized by excess HBsAg‐containing subviral particle production. The continued exposure of T cells to viral antigens results in the functional T cell impairment of immune response commonly seen in HBV infection. If viral mRNA transcription were controlled, this will lead to a profound reduction in viral antigens, followed by host immune reconstitution, HBsAg seroclearance, and finally a functional cure.3 This whole action can be augmented with the simultaneous suppression of viral replication via nucleos(t)ide therapy, which indirectly controls cccDNA amplification. One such example is ARC‐520, which is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) that can be successfully delivered to the cytosol of hepatocytes. Viral RNAs contain overlapping sequences, and a single RNA interference can theoretically suppress all related viral protein production. A phase 2a study involving one to two doses of intravenous ARC‐520, when in combination with entecavir, resulted in a profound and durable reduction of viral antigens (Fig. 2).4 Other siRNAs (e.g., ARB‐1467) and other viral mRNA inhibitors achieving satisfactory suppression of HBV viral antigens in preclinical studies are also entering clinical development (Table 1).5
