Complex Genotype Mixtures Analyzed by Deep Sequencing in Two Different Regions of Hepatitis B Virus

This study assesses the presence and outcome of genotype mixtures in the polymerase/surface and X/preCore regions of the HBV genome in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Thirty samples from ten chronic hepatitis B patients were included. The polymerase/surface and X/preCore regions were analyzed by deep sequencing (UDPS) in the first available sample at diagnosis, a pre-treatment sample, and a sample while under treatment. HBV genotype was determined by phylogenesis. Quasispecies complexity was evaluated by mutation frequency and nucleotide diversity. The polymerase/surface and X/preCore regions were validated for genotyping from 113 GenBank reference sequences. UDPS yielded a median of 10,960 sequences per sample (IQR 16,645) in the polymerase/surface region and 11_,595 sequences per sample (IQR 14,682) in X/preCore. Genotype mixtures were more common in X/preCore (90%) than in polymerase/surface (30%) (p<0.001). On X/preCore genotyping, all samples were genotype A, whereas polymerase/surface yielded genotypes A (80%), D (16.7%), and F (3.3%) (p = 0.036). Genotype changes in polymerase/surface were observed in four patients during natural quasispecies dynamics and in two patients during treatment. There were no genotype changes in X/preCore. Quasispecies complexity was higher in X/preCore than in polymerase/surface (p = 0.004).The results provide evidence of genotype mixtures and differential genotype proportions in the polymerase/surface and X/preCore regions. The genotype dynamics in HBV infection and the different patterns of quasispecies complexity in the HBV genome suggest a new paradigm for HBV genotype classification.     

Genotyping of hepatitis B virus in Malaysia based on the nucleotide sequence of preS and S genes

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been classified into eight genotypes, designated A-H. These genotypes are known to have distinct geographic distributions. The clinical importance of genotype-related differences in the pathogenicity of HBV has been revealed recently. In Malaysia, the current distribution of HBV remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the genotypes and subtypes of HBV by using PCR, followed by DNA sequencing, as well as to analyse the mutations in the immunodominant region of preS and S proteins. The S gene sequence was determined from HBV DNA of four apparently healthy blood donors' sera and three sera from asymptomatic chronic hepatitis B carriers. Of this batch of sera, the preS gene sequence was obtained from HBV DNA from three out of the four blood donors and two out of the three chronic carriers. Due to insufficient sera, we had to resort to using sera from another blood donor to make up for the sixth DNA sequence of the preS gene. Based on the comparative analysis of the preS sequences with the reported sequences in the GenBank database, HBV DNA from two normal carriers was classified as genotype C. Genotype B was assigned to HBV from one blood donor and two hepatitis B chronic carriers, whereas HBV of one chronic carrier was of genotype D. Based on the S gene sequences, HBV from three blood donors was of genotype C, that of one blood donor and one chronic carrier was of genotype B, and the remaining, of genotype D. In the five cases where both preS and S gene sequences were determined, the genotypes assigned based on either the preS or S gene sequences were in concordance. The nature of the deduced amino acid (aa) sequences at positions 125, 127, 134, 143, 159, 161 and 168 of the S gene enabled the classification of these sequences into subtypes, namely, adrq+, adw2 and ayw2. The clustering of our DNA sequences into genotype groups corresponded to their respective subtype, that is, adw2 in genotype B, adrq in genotype C and ayw in genotype D. Analysis of the point mutations revealed that five of the sequences contained aa substitutions at immunodominant epitopes involved in B or/and T cell recognition. In conclusion, despite the low numbers of samples studied, due to budget constraints, these data are still worthwhile reporting, as it is important for the control of HBV infections. In addition, the genotype and mutational data obtained in this study may be useful for designing new treatment regimes for HBV patients.     

Hepatitis B virus of genotype B with or without recombination with genotype C over the precore region plus the core gene

The entire nucleotide sequences of 70 hepatitis B virus (HBV) isolates of genotype B (HBV/B), including 38 newly determined and 32 retrieved from the international DNA database (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank), were compared phylogenetically. Two subgroups of HBV/B were identified based on sequence divergence in the precore region plus the core gene, one with the recombination with genotype C and the other without it. The analysis over the entire genome of HBV/B by the SimPlot program located the recombination with genotype C in the precore region plus the core gene spanning nucleotide positions from 1740 to 1838 to 2443 to 2485. Within this genomic area, HBV/B strains with the recombination had higher nucleotide and amino acid homology to genotype C than those without the recombination (96.9 versus 91.1% in nucleotides and 97.0 versus 92.9% in amino acids). There were 29 HBV/B strains without the recombination, and they were all recovered from carriers in Japan. The remaining 41 HBV/B isolates having the recombination with genotype C were from carriers in China (12 strains), Hong Kong (3 strains), Indonesia (4 strains), Japan (3 strains), Taiwan (4 strains), Thailand (3 strains), and Vietnam (12 strains). Due to the frequency of the distribution of HBV/B without the recombination (29 of 32 isolates, or 91%) and the fact that it was exclusive to Japan, it was provisionally classified into the Bj (j standing for Japan) subgroup, and HBV/B with the recombination was classified into the Ba (a for Asia) subgroup. Virological differences between HBV/Bj and HBV/Ba may be reflected in the severity of clinical disease in the patients infected with HBV of genotype B, which seems to be under strong geographic influences in Asia.     

Designing primers from multiple sequences using matchup program to improve detection of hepatitis B virus by polymerase chain reaction

Traditionally primers for PCR detection of viruses have been selected from genomic sequence of single or representative viral strain. However, high mutation rate of viral genomes often results in failure in detecting viruses in clinical and environmental samples. Thus, it seems necessary to consider primers designed from multiple viral sequences in order to improve detection of viral variants. Matchup is a program intended to select universal primers from multiple sequences. We designed using Matchup program primer pairs for HBV detection from 691 full genomic HBV DNA sequences available from NCBI GenBank database. Thousands of primer candidates were initially extracted and these were sequentially filtered down to 5 primer pairs. These primer pairs were tested by PCR using 5 HBV Korean HBsAg(+) patient sera, and eventually one universal primer pair was selected and named MUW (multiple-universal-worldwide). This primer pair, 3 HBV reference primer pairs reported by others and 1 commercial primer pair were compared using 86 HBV HBsAg(+) sera from Korean and Vietnamese patients. The detection rate for MUW primer pair was 72.1%, much greater than those obtained by reference and commercial primers (32.5 to 40.7%). The superiority of MUW primer pair appeared to be correlated with the conserved sequences of the forward primer binding sites and primer quality score. These results suggest that the universal primers designed by the Matchup program from multiple sequences could be useful in detecting viruses from clinical samples.     

Reconstructing the Complex Evolutionary History of Hepatitis B Virus

A detailed analysis of the evolutionary history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) was undertaken using 39 mammalian hepadnaviruses for which complete genome sequences were available, including representatives of all six human genotypes, as well as a large sample of small S gene sequences. Phylogenetic trees of these data were ambiguous, supporting no single place of origin for HBV, and depended heavily on the underlying model of DNA substitution. In some instances genotype F, predominant in the Americas, was the first to diverge, suggesting that the virus arose in the New World. In other trees, however, sequences from genotype B, prevalent in East Asia, were the most divergent. An attempt was also made to determine the rate of nucleotide substitution in the C open reading frame and then to date the origin of HBV. However, no relationship between time and number of substitutions was found in two independent data sets, indicating that a reliable molecular clock does not exist for these data. Both the pattern and the rate of nucleotide substitution are therefore complex phenomena in HBV and hinder any attempt to reconstruct the past spread of this virus.
