24-month decline of non-invasive liver fibrosis markers in HCV-mono and HCV/HIV coinfection after direct-acting antiviral therapy.


ABSTRACT: Long term liver fibrosis (LF) changes and their best -monitoring non-invasive markers (NILFM) after effective anti-HCV DAA therapy are little- known. Matrix-metalloproteases (MMPs) and their tissue-inhibitors (TIMPs) are pivotal in liver inflammation repair. Their plasma levels might assess long-term LF changes after therapy. Overall 374 HCV-infected adult patients, 214 HCV-HIV coinfected, were followed-up for 24 months after starting DAA. LF was assessed by transient elastometry (TE), biochemical indexes (APRI, Forns, FIB-4) and, in 61 individuals, by MMPs and TIMP-1 plasma levels. Several MMPs and TIMP-1 SNPs were genotyped in 319 patients. TE was better than biochemical indexes for early and long-term LF monitoring. MMPs-2,-8,-9 and-TIMP-1 levels and TE displayed parallel declining curves although only TIMP-1 correlated with TE (P = 0.006) and biochemical indexes (P < 0.02). HCV monoinfected had significantly higher baseline NILFM and TIMP-1 plasma values, but lower MMPs levels than coinfected patients. No differences in NILFM course were observed between mono-and coinfected or between different DAA regimens. Only the MMP-2 (-1306 C/T) variant TT genotype associated with higher values of NILFM NILFM decline extends 24 months after therapy. TE and TIMP1 are reliable LF-monitoring tools. NILFM courses were similar in mono-and coinfected patients, DAA regimens type did not influence NILFM course.
