DNA viruses, retroviruses and hepadnaviruses, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), are vulnerable to genetic editing of single stranded DNA by host cell APOBEC3 (A3) cytidine deaminases. At least three A3 genes are up regulated by interferon-α in human hepatocytes while ectopic expression of activation induced deaminase (AICDA), an A3 paralog, has been noted in a variety of chronic inflammatory syndromes including hepatitis C virus infection. Yet virtually all studies of HBV editing have confined themselves to analyses of virions from culture supernatants or serum where the frequency of edited genomes is generally low (≤10−2). We decided to look at the nature and frequency of HBV editing in cirrhotic samples taken during removal of a primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Forty-one cirrhotic tissue samples (10 alcoholic, 10 HBV+, 11 HBV+HCV+ and 10 HCV+) as well as 4 normal livers were studied. Compared to normal liver, 5/7 APOBEC3 genes were significantly up regulated in the order: HCV±HBV>HBV>alcoholic cirrhosis. A3C and A3D were up regulated for all groups while the interferon inducible A3G was over expressed in virus associated cirrhosis, as was AICDA in ∼50% of these HBV/HCV samples. While AICDA can indeed edit HBV DNA ex vivo, A3G is the dominant deaminase in vivo with up to 35% of HBV genomes being edited. Despite these highly deleterious mutant spectra, a small fraction of genomes survive and contribute to loss of HBeAg antigenemia and possibly HBsAg immune escape. In conclusion, the cytokine storm associated with chronic inflammatory responses to HBV and HCV clearly up regulates a number of A3 genes with A3G clearly being a major restriction factor for HBV. Although the mutant spectrum resulting from A3 editing is highly deleterious, a very small part, notably the lightly edited genomes, might help the virus evolve and even escape immune responses. Retroviruses and hepadnaviruses such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) are vulnerable to mutation by host cell single stranded DNA cytidine deaminases. The result is hypermutated viral peppered with uracil residues. While there are potentially 11 such human enzymes, the major players belong to the 7 gene APOBEC3 cluster on chromosome 22, some of which can be activated by anti-viral interferons. We investigated the nature and frequency of HBV editing in 41 cirrhotic samples following surgical removal of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Numerous APOBEC3 genes were activated in the decreasing order HCV±HBV>HBV>alcoholic cirrhosis. We observed that APOBEC3G was the dominant restricting factor in vivo with up to 35% of HBV edited genomes. Among the HBV mutants generated by APOBEC3 editing, we found a small fraction of lightly APOBEC3G edited genomes that can impact HBV replication in vivo and possibly immune escape.
