14 SUMMARY HBeAg seroconversion is an important clinicopathological event in the natural history of chronic hepatitis B that results in 3 log decrease in HBV DNA, remission of liver disease and improved clinical outcomes. The relation between viral mutations and this event were explored initially using paired serum (before and after) from 33 patients with spontaneous or interferon induced HBeAg seroconversion. Genotype B was associated with higher prevalence rates of seroconversion, and sequencing of the core promoter region was performed to examine the impact of mutations in this region on previously described transcription factor binding sites, as an explanation for the decrease in viral replication and load. Compared to 10 interferon treated non-seroconverters, seroconverters had universally, mutations that affected at least one transcription factor binding site. In addition, precore stop codon mutations (G1896A) and the TA 1762/1764 mutation were seen in pre-seroconversion samples, a surprising finding. This raised the possibility of mixed viral species being present and characterization of these species was performed by PCR, cloning and sequencing of the 639-bp precore/core gene, described as an important immunogenic region. From each serum sample, at least 20 clones were sequenced. The clinical groups were expanded from the 5 patients with spontaneous seroconversion and 5 patients with interferon induced seroconversion to include interferon treated non-responders (5), and non-treated controls (5) who were persistently HBeAg positive. Patients were selected if they had stored serum comprising 4-5 time points over a 5-8 year period, and had only genotype B. Characterization of quasispecies was performed by DGGE and sequencing. DGGE gels demonstrated that only seroconverters had a high proportion of quasispecies with little variation in non- xiv
15 seroconverters. Analysis of sequences from the viral clones showed that there was considerably viral divergence and heterogeneity, most marked in spontaneous seroconverters, and somewhat less so for interferon induced seroconverters but a considerably lower rate of mutations in non-seroconverters. Separately, studies of selected mutations that affected HBeAg secretion was demonstrated by identifying their entrapment in golgi and endoplasmic reticulum using specific antibodies. Taken together, a hypothesis of HBV viral behavior can be postulated. The increase in viral diversity before seroconversion may explain the increase in immune response due to generation of many new viral epitopes to previously tolerised viral antigens. Spontaneous seroconverters had more extreme diversity than interferon induced seroconverters, suggesting that immunomodulator therapy is needed in patients where diversity is insufficient to stimulate the immune system to clear virus by itself. Clearance of immunoreactive strains occurs after seroconversion, with a decrease in viral diversity. Following seroconversion, HBV DNA is 3 log lower, indicating strains which are less replication efficient. Core promoter mutations exist in these strains that affect transcription factor binding sites which may contribute to replication efficiency. Finally, mutations may affect secretion of eag due to entrapment in Golgi or endoplasmic reticulum as an explanation for the absence of HBeAg in the serum when the classic stop codon mutation is absent. Viral mutations of HBV clearly have a highly significant impact on viral behavior and consequently natural history of the disease. xv
