Research overview

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still a major public health problem worldwide. Thus, serum exosomes may be used as novel, liquid biopsy biomarkers to provide useful clinical information for the diagnosis of HBV-related liver diseases at different stages.

Key findings

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still a major public health problem worldwide.

We aimed to identify new, non-invasive biomarkers for the early diagnosis of chronic HBV-related diseases, reveal alterations in the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Here, exosomes were isolated and characterized through size exclusion chromatography and nanoparticle tracking analysis.

Profiles of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were analyzed through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), Gene Ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses.
