BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Insulin resistance is a common extrahepatic manifestation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (HCVi), but its mechanism is poorly understood. While systemic insulin resistance is documented, portal insulin dynamics, a key regulator of hepatic metabolism, remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between insulin, the gut-liver axis, and immunometabolic changes in patients with HCV.
METHODS: HCV patients were evaluated before (HCVi; n = 29) and after sustained virologic response (SVR) achieved with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir treatment (SVR, n = 23) (NCT02400216). Liver biopsies, portal blood, and peripheral blood were collected at both phases. Statistical analyses were conducted using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and Pearson's correlation coefficients to assess differences and associations across insulin, glucose, cytokines, metabolites, immune cells, and hepatic liver transcriptomics to elucidate impaired insulin homeostasis in HCVi.
RESULTS: HCV patients had significantly reduced portal insulin compared to SVR (p = 0.02), while peripheral insulin, portal glucose, and peripheral glucose remained unchanged. Portal insulin correlated positively with proinflammatory cytokines and vascular injury markers and negatively with CD8/CD62L/CD45RA/CD3 cells (naive cytotoxic T-cells) and non-standard nucleotides. Hepatic transcriptomic analysis revealed portal insulin correlated positively with immune and negatively with amino acid pathways, reflecting insulin's role in the perturbations of immunometabolism during HCVi.
CONCLUSIONS: Lower portal insulin during HCVi is associated with changes consistent with altered pancreatic insulin secretion and decreased hepatic insulin extraction. The observed correlations support a potential relationship between the immune response and insulin dynamics, indicating an interplay between the immune system, metabolism, and insulin in HCVi, with clinical implications for the management of dysglycemia.
