Abstract BACKGROUND: Clinically, some patients whose HBsAg becomes negative owing to antiviral therapy or spontaneously still show a low level of HBV DNA persistence in serum. T-lymphocyte subsets, cytokine levels and HBV S gene sequences were analyzed in this study. METHODS: A total of 52 HBsAg-negative and HBV DNA-positive patients(HBsAg-/HBV DNA+ patients), 52 persistently HBsAg-positive patients(HBsAg+/HBV DNA+ patients) and 16 healthy people were evaluated. T-lymphocyte subsets of these patients were detected by flow cytometry, serum cytokines and chemokines were detected by the Luminex technique, and the HBV S region was evaluated by Sanger sequencing. T%, T-lymphocyte, CD8+ and CD4+T lymphocyte were lower in the HBsAg-negative group than in the HC group. Compared with the HBsAg-positive group, the HBsAg-negative group had lower levels in T lymphocyte %, CD8+T lymphocyte %, CD8+T lymphocyte and CD4/CD8. These difference were statistically significant (P<0.05). Serum IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha and FLT-3L levels were significantly higher in the HBsAg-negative group than in the HBsAg-positive group (P<0.05). However, levels of many cytokines related to inflammation (i.e., IL-6, IL-8, IL10, IL-12, IL-17A) were lower in the HBsAg-negative group. Fifty-two HBsAg-negative samples were sequenced, revealing high-frequency amino acid substitution sites in the HBV S protein, including immune escape mutations (i.e., Y100C, S114T, C124Y, P127L, G130R, T131N, M133T, C137S, G145A) and TMD region substitutions (i.e., E2K/R/D, G7D/R, G10D, A17R, F20L/S, L21V, L22V). CONCLUSIONS: According to the results of T-lymphocyte subsets and serum cytokines, it can be deduced that the cellular immune function of HBsAg-negative patients is superior to that of HBsAg-positive patients, with attenuation of liver inflammation. HBsAg-negative patients may show a variety of mutations and amino acid replacement sites at high frequency in the HBV S region, and these mutations may lead to undetectable HBsAg, HBsAg antigenic changes or secretion inhibition.

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.
