Abstract Sera of two children were examined to determine whether specific hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants may contribute to anti-hepatitis B e/hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe/HBeAg) reactivations during the course of chronic hepatitis B. The full-length HBV genome isolated from sera of patient 1 and the basic core promoter (BCP) from patient 2 were amplified and sequenced before and after several reactivations. The functional significance of the mutant BCP from patient 1 was studied using the luciferase assay. In both patients, rare mutations were found in the BCP at nucleotides 1764(G-->T)/1766(C-->G) and 1766(C-->T)/1768(T-->A) in case 1 and 2, respectively. In the BCP from patient 1, a putative new binding site for the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 (HNF3) was generated. The functional analyses of the mutant showed a 2.8-fold increase of core promoter activity, whereas the BCP variant of patient 2 was also identified to result in enhanced promoter activity. The alignment of full-length genomes from child 1 to the reference sequence showed 61 nucleotide substitutions. Furthermore, the time of reactivations from child 1 was always accompanied by selection of a precore mutation at nucleotide position 1899. In liver tissue of patient 1 before development of hepatocellular carcinoma only free viral sequences were found, whereas a single site integration of HBV was detected in hepatocytes after activation of carcinogenesis. Specific mutations in the HBV BCP of the two patients that are rarely present in chronic carriers were identified to increase the core promoter activity possibly by altering transcription factor binding, suggesting that these variants may be involved in the pathogenesis of frequent HBV reactivations.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
