Popis: Abstract Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) affect the efficacy of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). In this study, we aimed to clarify the susceptibility of the coexistence of nonstructural (NS) 5A Q24K/L28M/R30Q (or R30E)/A92K RASs, which were observed in patients with DAAs re-treatment failure and to consider new therapeutic agents. We used a subgenomic replicon system in which HCV genotype 1B strain 1B-4 was electroporated into OR6c cells derived from HuH-7 cells (Wild-type [WT]). We converted WT genes to NS5A Q24K/L28M/R30Q/A92K or Q24/L28K/R30E/A92K. Compared with the WT, the Q24K/L28M/R30Q/A92K RASs was 36,000-fold resistant to daclatasvir, 440,000-fold resistant to ledipasvir, 6300-fold resistant to velpatasvir, 3100-fold resistant to elbasvir, and 1.8-fold resistant to pibrentasvir. Compared with the WT, the Q24K/L28M/R30E/A92K RASs was 640,000-fold resistant to daclatasvir and ledipasvir, 150,000-fold resistant to velpatasvir, 44,000-fold resistant to elbasvir, and 1500-fold resistant to pibrentasvir. The Q24K/L28M/R30E/A92K RASs was 816.3 times more resistant to pibrentasvir than the Q24K/L28M/R30Q/A92K RASs. Furthermore, a combination of pibrentasvir and sofosbuvir showed therapeutic efficacy against these RASs. Combination regimens may eradicate HCV with NS5A Q24K/L28M/R30E/A92K RASs.
