• W2944496250 abstract "Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) arises from a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) in the liver. Several exogenous risk factors are associated with the acquired form of the disease. In Southern Europe, PCT is strongly linked to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to the point that a high prevalence of viral infection in some geographic areas generated an increase of PCT cases as a complication. In spite of the association, PCT is a rare complication of HCV infection, thus suggesting the existence of susceptibility factors operating in only some patients. Investigation of liver specimens of PCT patients showed iron accumulation, which albeit moderate, was higher in comparison with HCV-infected patients without PCT. Measurements of hepcidin in serum of HCV-infected patients with and without PCT and calculation of hepcidin/ferritin ratio were compatible with the hypothesis that HCV induced inadequate response of hepcidin to iron accumulation. Administration of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) to HCV-infected patients with active PCT showed that eradication of the virus was followed by resolution of PCT and rapid disappearance of urinary porphyrins. This suggests a direct participation of the virus in the oxidative mechanism leading to UROD inhibition. If clinical evolution of HCV- PCT-patients is placed within a time-frame, rapid PCT resolution by DAA is in striking contrast with a long-delay (in most cases of decades) between viral infection and appearance of overt porphyria. This could be explained if HCV infection (a): enhanced an oxidative environment in the vicinity of UROD and (b): facilitated iron accumulation through hepdicin down-regulation. Thus, only when iron accumulation reached a threshold, inhibition of UROD attained a critical level. However, the enigma is why only a minority of HCV-infected patients develop PCT. If additional risk factors (i.e. alcohol abuse) are not concurring, it should be concluded that modifier genes or epigenetic mechanisms related to iron homeostasis, facilitate iron progressive accumulation in only a minority susceptible patients." @default.
