Abstract
Background
Seroclearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a potentially achievable target of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Plasma proteins relevant to HBsAg seroclearance remain undetermined.
Methods
We prospectively recruited treatment-naive CHB patients with spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance and matched HBsAg-positive controls. Plasma protein profiling was performed using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation-based proteomics, with the expression of candidate proteins validated in a separate cohort. The predictive value of fibronectin was assessed at 3 years, 1 year (Year -1) before, and at the time (Year 0) of HBsAg seroclearance.
Results
Four hundred eighty-seven plasma proteins were identified via proteomics, with 97 proteins showing altered expression. In the verification cohort (n = 90), median plasma fibronectin levels in patients with HBsAg seroclearance was higher than in controls (P = .009). In the longitudinal cohort (n = 164), patients with HBsAg seroclearance, compared with controls, had a higher median fibronectin levels at Year -1 (413.26 vs 227.95 µg/mL) and Year 0 (349.45 vs 208.72 µg/mL) (both P < .001). In patients with an annual HBsAg log reduction >0.5, Year -1 fibronectin level achieved an area under the receiving operator characteristic of 0.884 in predicting HBsAg seroclearance.
Conclusions
Using proteomics-based technology, plasma fibronectin may be associated with HBsAg seroclearance and a potential predictor of “functional cure”.
