dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND AND AIMS: Micro RNA-122 (miR-122) is under investigation as a target for direct antiviral agents against the hepatitis C virus (HCV), and as a biomarker for both cancer and acute liver injury. Previous data suggest HCV mono-infection is associated with increased serum miR-122 levels. This study sought to determine outcomes in regard to miR-122 levels following clearance of HCV in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected patients. METHODS: Nine HCV-HIV co-infected patients undergoing antiviral therapy were treated with interferon and ribavirin for 48 weeks between January 2009 and March 2011, and had serial miR-122 levels measured in triplicate from serum with mirVanaTM PARISTM kit according to the instructions from the manufacturer (Ambion, AM1556). Values were measured at baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, end of treatment (EOT; 48 weeks), and at 24 weeks after treatment completion (SVR24). SAS V9.3 was used to analyze these data. Change from baseline (copies/μL) was calculated as Log10 (Baseline)-Log 10(time), where time was 1 week, 4weeks, EOT, and SVR24; a repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the results over time for the patients. If the ANOVA was found significant, post hoc, pairwise comparisons were used to examine change from baseline across the four time points. RESULTS: Six of nine achieved SVR24, 1 was undetectable at EOT but relapsed, and 2 patients were non-responders. Among the 6 patients achieving SVR, all showed a decrease in miR-122 levels between 0.16 and 1.46 logs, between baseline and SVR24. The ANOVA confirmed a significant decrease in miR-122 levels from 1 week to SVR24 (p=0.0225). Significant pairwise comparisons for change from baseline were found at 1 week versus SVR24 (p=0.0063), 4 weeks versus SVR24 (p=0.0086), and EOT versus SVR24 (p=0.0458). CONCLUSION: Clearance of chronic HCV is associated with decreased miR-122 levels in HIV co-infected patients and was not improved in patients with continued infection who failed to respond to treatment.en
