CATT polymorphism in MIF gene promoter is closely related to human pulmonary tuberculosis in a southwestern China population.

ABSTRACT: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is deemed as an immunoregulatory and proinflammatory cytokine related to the progression of tuberculosis. A CATT short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism at position -794 in the MIF gene promoter region is associated with the susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB). To investigate whether macrophage MIF gene mif CATT variants are associated with susceptibility to retreatment cases of TB and drug-resistant TB prevalence, genotyping of MIF -794 CATT polymorphism and quantifying of serum MIF were performed to associate MIF-794 CATT polymorphism with new patients and retreatment cases. Significant increases in MIF -794 CATT genotypes 7/8 and allele CATT 8 were observed in TB patients. Significant differences in the genotypic frequencies of MIF -794 CATT (5/X?+?6/X vs 7/7?+?7/8) were demonstrated upon comparing the total cases and the new cases of TB with the controls. Significant differences in the allelic frequencies of MIF -794 CATT (5?+?6 vs 7?+?8) were observed in the total cases and new cases of TB. No differences in the genotypic frequencies of the MIF -794 CATT (5/X?+?6/X vs 7/7?+?7/8) were observed between the retreatment cases and the controls or between the new cases and retreatment cases. In conclusion, the MIF -794 CATT genotypes 7/8 and allele CATT 8 were highly associated with TB; no differences in the genotypic frequencies of the MIF -794 CATT (5/X?+?6/X vs 7/7?+?7/8) were observed between the new cases and retreatment cases.

Project description:The blood concentration of isoniazid (INH) is evidently affected by polymorphisms in N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), an enzyme that is primarily responsible for the trimodal (i.e., fast, intermediate, and slow) INH elimination. The pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, driven largely by NAT2 activity, creates a challenge for the deployment of a uniform INH dosage in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Although acetylator-specific INH dosing has long been suggested, well-recognized dosages according to acetylator status remain elusive. In this study, 175 blood samples were collected from 89 pulmonary TB patients within 0.5 to 6 h after morning INH administration. According to their NAT2 genotypes, 32 (36.0%), 38 (42.7%), and 19 (21.3%) were fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. The plasma INH concentration was detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analysis was conducted using NONMEM and R software. A two-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination well described the PK parameters of isoniazid. Body weight and acetylator status significantly affected the INH clearance rate. The dosage simulation targeting three indicators, including the well-recognized efficacy-safety indicator maximum concentration in serum (C max; 3 to 6??g/ml), the reported area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h to infinity (AUC0-?; ?10.52??g·h/ml), and the 2-h INH serum concentrations (?2.19??g/ml), was associated with the strongest early bactericidal activity. The optimal dosages targeting the different indicators varied from 700 to 900?mg/day, 500 to 600?mg/day, and 300?mg/day for the rapid, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively. Furthermore, a PPK model for isoniazid among Chinese tuberculosis patients was established for the first time and suggested doses of approximately 800?mg/day, 500?mg/day, and 300?mg/day for fast, intermediate, and slow acetylators, respectively, after a trade-off between efficacy and the occurrence of side effects.

Project description:Atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) causes severe haze in China and is regarded as a threat to human health. The health effects of PM2.5 vary location by location due to the variation in size distribution, chemical com position, and sources. In this study, the cytotoxicity effect, oxidative stress, and gene expression regulation of PM2.5 in Chengdu and Chongqing, two typical urban areas in southern China, were evaluated. Urban PM2.5 in summer and winter significantly inhibited cell viability and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in A549 cells. Notably, PM2.5 in winter exhibited higher cytotoxicity and ROS level than summer. Moreover, in this study, PM2.5 commonly induced cancer-related gene expression such as cell adhesion molecule 1(PECAM1), interleukin 24 (IL24), and cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1); meanwhile, PM2.5 commonly acted on cancer-related biological functions such as cell-substrate junction, cell-cell junction, and focal adhesion. In partic ular, PM2.5 in Chengdu in summer had the highest carcinogenic potential among PM2.5 at the two sites in summer and winter. Importantly, cancer-related genes were uniquely targeted by PM2.5, such as epithelial splicing regu latory protein 1 (ESRP1) and membrane-associated ring-CH-type finger 1 (1-Mar) by Chengdu summer PM2.5; collagen type IX alpha 3 chain (COL9A3) by Chengdu winter PM2.5; SH2 domain-containing 1B (SH2D1B) by Chongqing summer PM2.5; and interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1) and zinc finger protein 42 (ZNF423) by Chongqing winter PM2.5. Meanwhile, important cancer-related biological functions were specially induced by PM2.5, such as cell cycle checkpoint by Chengdu summer PM2.5; macromolecule methylation by Chengdu win ter PM2.5; endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane by Chongqing summer PM2.5;and cellular lipid catabolic process by Chongqing winter PM2.5. Conclusively, in the typical urban areas of southern China, both summer and winter PM2.5 illustrated significant gene regulation effects. This study contrib utes to evaluating the adverse health effects of PM2.5 in southern China and providing public health suggestions for policymakers.

Project description:BackgroundTuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a major public health concern. Chemokines and their receptors, such as RANTES, CXCR3, and CCR5, have been reported to play important roles in cell activation and migration in immune responses against TB infection.MethodsTo understand the correlations involving CCR5 gene variations, M. tuberculosis infection, and TB disease progression, a case-control study comprising 450 patients with TB and 306 healthy controls from a Chinese Han population was conducted, along with the detection of polymorphisms in the CCR5 promoter using a sequencing method.ResultsAfter adjustment for age and gender, the results of logistic analysis indicated that the frequency of rs2734648-G was significantly higher in the TB patient group (P = 0.002, OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.123-1.696); meanwhile, rs2734648-GG showed notable susceptibility to TB (P = 6.32E-06, OR = 2.173, 95% CI: 1.546-3.056 in a recessive model). The genotypic frequency of rs1799987 also varied between the TB and control groups (P = 0.008). In stratified analysis, rs2734648-GG significantly increased susceptibility to pulmonary TB in a recessive model (P < 0.0001, OR = 2.382, 95% CI: 1.663-3.413), and the rs2734648-G allele significantly increased susceptibility to TB recurrence in a dominant model (P = 0.0032, OR = 1.936, 95% CI: 1.221-3.068), whereas rs1799987-AA was associated with susceptibility to pulmonary TB (P = 0.0078, OR = 1.678, 95% CI: 1.141-2.495 in a recessive model) but not with extra-pulmonary TB and TB recurrence. A haplotype constructed with the major alleles of the eight SNPs in the CCR5 promoter (rs2227010-rs2856758-rs2734648-rs1799987-rs1799988-rs41469351-rs1800023-rs1800024: A-A-G-G-T-C-G-C) exhibited extraordinarily increased risk of susceptibility to TB and pulmonary TB (P = 6.33E-11, OR = 24.887, 95% CI: 6.081-101.841).ConclusionIn conclusion, CCR5 promoter polymorphisms were found to be associated with pulmonary TB and TB progression in Chinese Han people.
