IL-10基因单核苷酸多态性与急性淋巴细胞白血病易感性的相关性研究

Objective To observe the relationship of IL-10 gene single nucleotide polymorphism and the susceptibility to ALL. Methods The bone marrow and peripheral blood samples from 115 ALL patients and 323 healthy controls were collected in Peking University First Hospital and Beijing Dao-pei Hospital from January 2007 to December 2009. The DNA were extracted from all samples. The primers of -819C/T and -592A/C in the promoter region of IL-10 gene were designed for the PCR. The restrictive fragment length polymorphism of IL-10 gene was analyzed by using restrictive enzyme Msl Ⅰ and HpyCH4 Ⅲ.Sequencing was done in part of these samples to confirm the results of PCR. The differences of genotypes and allele ratio of -819 and -592 sites were analyzed between the ALL patients and healthy controls. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to detect the EB virus (EBV) infection and the expression of BCR/ABL fusion gene.

Results The genotype ratios of -819CC, -819TT, - 819CT, -592AA,- 592CC and - 592AC were 14. 8% ( 17/115 ), 45.2% ( 52/115 ), 40. 0% ( 46/115 ), 43.5% ( 50/115 ),16. 5% ( 19/115 ), 40. 0% ( 46/115 ) in ALL patients, and were 9. 9% ( 32/323 ), 16. 4% ( 53/323 ),73.7% ( 238/323 ), 11.8% ( 38/323 ), 15.5% ( 50/323 ), 72. 8% ( 235/323 ) in the healthy controls,respectively. The genotypes of -819 and -592 sites had statistically significant differences between the two groups(x2 values were 46.000 and 54.550, all P ＜ 0. 05 ). The allele ratio of -819T and -592A were (65.2%, 150/230) and (63.5%, 146/230) in ALL patients, while they were 53.5% (344/646) and 48. 1% (311/646)in the healthy controls. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2 values were 9. 877 and 15.986, all P ＜ 0. 05 ). The EBV DNA were detected in 42 ALL patients,among which 22 were positive and 20 were negative. The genotype ratios of -819CC, -819TT, -819CT,-592AA, - 592CC, - 592AC in EBV positive group were 9. 1% ( 2/22 ), 40. 9% ( 9/22 ), 50. 0%(11/22) ,31.8% ( 7/22 ), 13.6% ( 3/22 ), 54. 5% ( 12/22 ), while they were 35.0% ( 7/20 ), 45.0%(9/20) ,20. 0% (4/20) ,35.0% (7/20) ,45.0% (9/20) ,20. 0% (4/20) in the EBV negative group.

耶氏肺孢子菌合成抗原在不同人群抗体筛查中的应用

耶氏肺孢子菌(Pneumocystis jirovecii,Pj)是引起肺孢子菌肺炎(Pneumocystis pneumonia,PCP)的真菌类病原体,是免疫功能缺陷者重要的条件致病菌。Pj通过主要表面糖蛋白(Major surface glycoprotein,Msg)的抗原转换,逃避宿主免疫清除。MsgA,MsgB,MsgC1以及MsgC1的3个变种MsgC3,MsgC8和MsgC9是三组跨越Msg基因全长的原核表达重组肽段。对健康人群调查发现,84%的个体抗MsgA、MsgB或MsgC1 IgG抗体阳性。与健康对照相比,HIV感染者抗MsgC1 IgG抗体水平明显增高,而抗MsgA、MsgB IgG抗体水平没有变化。与非暴露组相比,职业暴露组医务人员的抗MsgC1 IgG抗体水平也明显增高,而抗MsgA、MsgB IgG抗体水平没有变化。因此,MsgC1抗体水平增高可以作为近期暴露过Pj的指标,对免疫缺陷者具有辅助诊断PCP的临床意义。Pj血清学研究的发展将会带来更大的PCP临床诊断和流行病学调查价值。
