目的:了解最新广州地区无偿献血人群丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)基因型与病毒载量的关联性。方法:收集2008~2011年广州地区无偿献血人群中抗-HCV阳性标本605份,采用荧光定量PCR(Q-PCR)的方法对其进行核酸及病毒载量检测,阳性标本作NS5B基因扩增;核苷酸序列测定后运用DNASTAR、BioEdit和Mega4.0等软件作序列分析和基因分型,采用SPSS16.0软件对病毒载量与基因型(亚型)的关联性进行分析。结果:337份HCV RNA阳性的标本扩增出NS5B基因320份,HCV 1b、6a、3a、2a、3b、1a、6n比例依次为45.00%、33.44%、8.75%、7.81%、4.38%、0.31%和0.31%。HCV1b与2a、3a、6a、6a与2a、3a之间病毒载量存在显著差异:HCVba病毒载量高于2a、3a和6a,HCV6a病毒载量高于2a和3a。结论:广州地区无偿献血人群中HCV1b和6a为主要亚型且其病毒载量高于其他亚型。
Objective:To determine the lastest correlation between HCV genotypes and viral loads among volunteer blood donors in Guangzhou.Methods:605 anti-HCV positive plasma samples were obtained from volunteer blood donors in Guangzhou during year of 2008 to 2011.Firstly,HCV RNA in those samples were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Q-PCR).Futher,NS5B gene were detected by Q-PCR followed by direct DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis in HCV RNA positive samples.Results:337 samples were found HCV RNA positive in 605 anti-HCV positive plasma samples.320 samples(95%,320/337) were genotyped(based on NS5B gene) in 337 HCV RNA positive samples,and subtypes HCV 1b,6a,3a,2a,3b,1a,6n were detected at frequencies of 45.00%,33.44%,8.75%,7.81%,4.38%,0.31%,0.31%,respectively.HCV1b was associated with a significantly(P0.05) higher viral load compared to HCV6a,2a and 3a,while HCV6a also had a relatively higher viral load than HCV 2a and 3a.Conclusion:HCV 1b and 6a were the most predominant subtypes due to the higher viral load than the other subtypes among volunteer blood donors in Guangzhou.
