EASL Expert Interview | Professor Fengmin Lu: From Mechanistic Research to Clinical Cure – Exploring Potential Treatment Strategies for CHB

By Mourabit Halima 2024.06.20

In the field of chronic HBV infection, the discovery of basic core promoter (BCP) and pre-core (PC) mutations dates back nearly thirty years. However, the potential link between these mutations and the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), as well as their impact on antiviral treatment response, has been a focal point for virologists for a long time. At the 2024 European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Annual Meeting, Professor Fengmin Lu from the Peking University Center for Infectious Diseases shared his team’s latest research findings. Firstly, they revealed the impact of BCP+PC mutant virus infection on hepatocytes, indicating that this mutant virus induces more extensive and severe hepatocyte degeneration and cytoplasmic vacuolization, and suppresses the endogenous IFN-α/γ signaling pathway in human hepatocytes. This discovery may offer a new explanation for the poor response to interferon therapy in some patients. Additionally, Professor Lu delved into the regulation and secretion mechanisms of HBsAg expression in integrated HBV DNA, proposing new strategies for CHB treatment based on these findings. We had an in-depth interview with Professor Lu, and the content is organized here for our readers.
