BackgroundThe Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-positive human Mac-2-binding protein (WFA(+)-M2BP) is a new liver fibrosis glycobiomarker with unique fibrosis-related glyco-alteration. WFA(+)-M2BP is also a useful surrogate marker for the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma and for the liver functional reserve.AimTo evaluate the diagnostic ability of WFA(+)-M2BP for liver fibrosis in the clinical setting and the clinical utility of WFA(+)-M2BP for predicting the efficacy of direct-acting anti-viral (DAA) treatment for chronic hepatitis C patients.MethodsThe study included 159 genotype 1 hepatitis C patients who received DAA-based treatment (telaprevir or simeprevir) combined with pegylated-interferon alpha plus ribavirin (108 telaprevir-and 51 simeprevir-based triple treatment). The relation between baseline serum WFA(+)-M2BP and treatment efficacy was evaluated.ResultsThe serum WFA(+)-M2BP level significantly increased with the progress of liver fibrosis. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified 2.17 as the cut-off index (COI) for WFA(+)-M2BP for diagnosing advanced fibrosis. The sustained virological response (SVR) rate was significantly, negatively correlated with the serum WFA(+)-M2BP level. Multiple logistic regression analysis found a low serum WFA(+)-M2BP level (
