BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF)
is associated with a poor prognosis. This research aimed to characterize the
expression pattern and clinical value of Annexin A3 (ANXA3) in HBV-ACLF patients.
METHODS: First of all, ACLF-related datasets were downloaded from the Gene
Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to carry out bioinformatics analyses. RT-qPCR,
ELISA, and Methylight were used to measure ANXA3 gene expression and promoter
methylation levels. A validation cohort was leveraged to further validate the
results. RESULTS: Transcriptome analysis showed that ANXA3 was among the most
differentially expressed genes when comparing dead patients with HBV-ACLF to
those with survivors. The mRNA and serum levels of ANXA3 were elevated, and
methylation levels were decreased in HBV-ACLF patients. The PMR value of ANXA3 in
patients with HBV-ACLF was negatively correlated with inflammation-related
cytokines IL-6, TNF-?, and IL-1?, as well as quantitative clinical parameters
AST, TBIL, PT, INR, NEUT%, and MELD score, and positively correlated with PTA
(all p?0.05). In HBV-ACLF patients, ANXA3 was considered to be an independent
influence factor for the 90-day mortality. It was also found that ANXA3,
especially hypomethylation, was associated with 28- and 90-day overall survival
in patients with HBV-ACLF based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA), and Kaplan-Meier curves. CONCLUSIONS:
ANXA3 hypomethylation has a prominent predictive value for short-term mortality
in patients with HBV-ACLF and may serve as a promising biomarker of HBV-ACLF
prognosis.
