Despite the limited knowledge concerning the [[pathogenesis]] of [[hepatitis delta virus]] ([[HDV]]) infection, the adaptive and innate immune systems are thought to play a pivotal role on hepatocellular injury. [[HDV]] requires the presence of [[HBV]] to be able to cause [[infection]].  Pathological changes in [[HDV]] are limited to the [[liver]], the only organ in which [[HDV]] can replicate. [[Hepatitis B virus]] ([[HBV]]) is an essential co-factor in the evolution of hepatocellular damage, and infection with both [[HBV]] and [[HDV]] leads to more severe liver injury than [[HBV infection]] alone. There is evidence supporting the possibility that the virus can be cytopathic in certain [[genotype]]s.  [[HDV]] is transmitted [[percutaneously]], sexually, or through contact with infected blood or blood products. In rare occasions [[transmission]] may be perinatal.  The different [[genotype]]s will influence viral assembly, and consequently [[infectivity]].

To replicate efficiently, a [[virus]] requires the cooperation of the host cell at all stages of the replicative cycle:
#Attachment
#Penetration
#Uncoating
#Provision of appropriate metabolic conditions for the synthesis of viral macromolecules
#Final assembly of viral subunits
#Release of new virions
[[HDV]] also requires the presence of a helper [[hepadnavirus]] to provide the [[protein]] components for its own envelope. How HDV enters hepatocytes is still not known, but it may involve the interaction between HBsAg-L and a cellular receptor. The incoming [[HDV]] [[RNA]] is then transported into the [[nucleus]], probably by the small form of delta antigen, ''HDAg-S''. Binding of HDAg to RNA also protects the HDV RNAs from degradation.

Normally RNA polymerase II utilizes DNA as a template and produces mRNA. Consequently, if HDV indeed utilizes RNA polymerase II during replication, it would be the only known pathogen capable of using a DNA-dependent polymerase as an RNA-dependent polymerase.


The RNA polymerases treat the RNA genome as double stranded DNA due to the folded rod-like structure it is in. Three forms of RNA are made; circular genomic RNA, circular complementary antigenomic RNA, and a linear polyadenylated antigenomic RNA, which is the mRNA containing the open reading frame for the HDAg. Synthesis of antigenomic RNA occurs in the nucleous, mediated by RNA Pol I, whereas synthesis of genomic RNA takes place in the nucleoplasm, mediated by RNA Pol II.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Li|first=YJ|coauthors=Macnaughton, T, Gao, L, Lai, MM|title=RNA-Templated Replication of Hepatitis Delta Virus: Genomic and Antigenomic RNAs Associate with Different Nuclear Bodies|journal=Journal of virology|date=2006 Jul|volume=80|issue=13|pages=6478–86|pmid=16775335|doi=10.1128/JVI.02650-05|pmc=1488965}}</ref> HDV RNA is synthesized first as linear RNA that contains many copies of the genome.

===Transmission===
The routes of transmission of hepatitis D are similar to those for [[hepatitis B]]. Infection is largely restricted to persons at high risk of [[hepatitis B]] infection, particularly injecting drug users and persons receiving clotting factor concentrates.
HDV is transmitted [[percutaneously]], sexually, or through contact with infected blood or blood products. [[Perinatal]] [[transmission]] is possible but uncommon. Blood is potentially infectious during all phases of active hepatitis D infection and a very small [[inoculum]] is sufficient to transmit HDV infection. Peak [[infectivity]] probably occurs just before the onset of acute disease. <ref name="GAR">World Health Organization. Global Alert Response.

Overview

Despite the limited knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection, the adaptive and innate immune systems are thought to play a pivotal role on hepatocellular injury. HDV requires the presence of HBV to be able to cause infection. Pathological changes in HDV are limited to the liver, the only organ in which HDV can replicate. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an essential co-factor in the evolution of hepatocellular damage, and infection with both HBV and HDV leads to more severe liver injury than HBV infection alone. There is evidence supporting the possibility that the virus can be cytopathic in certain genotypes. HDV is transmitted percutaneously, sexually, or through contact with infected blood or blood products. In rare occasions transmission may be perinatal. The different genotypes will influence viral assembly, and consequently infectivity.

Pathogenesis

Studies demonstrate that both the adaptive and innate immune systems may play an important role in liver injury and clearance of the virus, although these immune responses are poorly defined. Evidence points to an association between the quantity and quality of host T-cell responses and the level of infection control.[1] HDV appears to subvert the adaptive immune system away from Th-1 biased CD4 and CD8 T-cell response, a necessary process for viral clearance.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an essential co-factor in the evolution of hepatocellular damage, and infection with both HBV and HDV leads to more severe liver injury than HBV infection alone. The mechanisms determining whether a person will spontaneously clear HDV, become chronically infected, or rapidly progress to hepatic fibrosis are not yet fully understood.[2] The fluctuating viral load of both HDV and HBV in different stages of infection may signify a direct association with the pathogenesis of disease progression. Studies have shown that during the acute phase of HDV infection, HDV viremia is associated with an increased level of alanine transaminase (ALT) and suppressed HBV. In the later stages of the chronic phase, HDV RNA decreases, HBV reactivates, and levels of transaminases are moderately elevated. At this point, either HDV or HBV replicate and lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) or both viruses are cleared and there is remission. [2]

HDV suppresses HBV replication among patients with either coinfection or superinfection. In fact, up to 90% of patients with HDV coinfection are HBeAg negative and have a low HBV viral load. Furthermore, once HDV infection is cleared, replication of HBV can reactivate.[2] Evidence points to the possible role of the small(p24) and large(p27) HDV proteins in suppressing HBV replication by:[3]

  • Repressing the activity of two enhancer regions (pIIE1 and pIIE2)in the HBV genome
  • Transactivation of the MxA gene leading to the reduction of viral HBV mRNA export from the nucleus

Although hepatitis D is thought to be a largely immune-mediated disease process, there is evidence demonstrating that HDV may be cytopathic. Specifically, outbreaks of fulminant hepatitis induced by HDV genotype 3 link uncommon histological features to the potentially cytopathic nature of HDV.[4] More data is necessary to further the understanding of underlying mechanisms of HDV-induced disease.[2]

Transmission

HDV is transmitted percutaneously, sexually, or through contact with infected blood or blood products. Perinatal transmission is possible but uncommon. Blood is potentially infectious during all phases of active hepatitis D infection and a very small inoculum is sufficient to transmit HDV infection. Peak infectivity probably occurs just before the onset of acute disease. [5]

Genotype and Pathogenesis

The HDV genotype influences the sequence of the C-terminal moiety of the large HDAg. These changes in the C-terminal moiety will influence the packaging ability of the virus, which will ultimately dictate interaction with clathrin and consequently the efficiency of viral assembly and infectivity.[6][7][8] The fact that all genotypes are able to bind clathrin supports the importance of clathrin in HDV assembly.[9]
