C型肝炎病毒感染是許多肝臟疾病的成因,由其是肝硬化及肝癌。目前C型肝炎治療唯一有效藥物為干擾素治療,療效僅只有5成,而近期發展出的干擾素/ribavirin合併療法,僅能提高效果至5~8成,停止用藥後仍有復發的風險。 本案發現miR-125b及miR-550在IFN治療機轉中扮演重要角色,因此可利用檢測病患miR-125b及miR-550之表現來評估並預測病患對於IFN治療 HCV感染的效果,有潛力用於製造檢驗試劑等,並協助醫生開立適合的處方並避免無謂的醫療資源浪費以及對病人及其家庭的負擔。 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The mainstay for the treatment of hepatitis C (CHC) is interferon-α (IFN). However, the effect of IFN treatment can only reach about 50%. The recently developed HCV treatment, pegylated interferon-α (peginterferon-α)/ribavirin combination therapy, only improves the therapeutic effect reached 50%~80%, and still have risk of recurrence. In the present invention, miR-125b and miR-550 was found playing an important role in IFN pathway. Furthermore, the present invention may reduce the waste of medical resources and the burden of patients.
