Background

The assessment of liver regeneration is particularly critical for patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Exosome has both the advantages of specificity of liver biopsy and noninvasion of peripheral blood, which may be the potential biomarker of liver disease.

Methods

The patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and ACLF were enrolled from outpatients and inpatients in Beijing Youan Hospital, Capital Medical University. The exosomes in plasma were extracted by ultracentrifuge using Optima XPN-100 Ultracentrifuge. Exosomes were dyed with fluorescent direct-labeled antibody and the expression profile was assayed using ImageStream® X MKII Imaging Flow Cytometer.

Results

The percentage of exosomes with ALB and CD63 was significant higher in ACLF than that in CHB. The percentage of exosomes with ALB and CD63 and VEGF increased in CHB, but decreased in ACLF. The exosomes with ALB, CD63, and VEGF were significant more in survival group than that in dead group in patients with ACLF. The sensitivity and specificity of exosomes with CD63, ALB, and VEGF were significantly higher than the other markers of liver regeneration and prognostic valuation in patients with ACLF including AFP. The hepatocyte-derived exosomes expression profile had no difference in different stages and different AFP levels of patients with ACLF.

Conclusion

The exosomes profile with ALB and VEGF may be a more accurate and specific biomarker of liver regeneration and prognostic valuation than AFP in patients with ACLF. In addition, the exosomes profile with CD63 and ALB may be an early-warning marker in patients with ACLF.
