TLR4 rs4986790 polymorphism confers risk to Helicobacter pylori infection in Zhejiang, China and its enlightenment to nursing care.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Previous literatures on the association between TLR4 gene rs4986790 polymorphism and Helicobacter pylori infection risk reported conflict results. We conducted a case-control study and meta-analysis to investigate whether TLR4 gene rs4986790 polymorphism confers risk to Helicobacter pylori infection.

Patients and methods

254 patients with Helicobacter pylori positive and 235 patients with Helicobacter pylori negative were enrolled. PubMed, Embase, CNKI (Chinese national knowledge internet) were carefully searched and reviewed. Odds ratio (OR) together with 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied to calculate the association power.

Results

GG genotype of TLR4 gene rs4986790 polymorphism contributes increased risk to the population of Zhejiang, China (p = 0.019). Meta-analysis found that the positive findings came from Asian population by allele contrast (p = 0.006), homozygote comparison (p = 0.006) and recessive genetic model (p = 0.001).

Conclusion

TLR4 gene rs4986790 polymorphism is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection risk for population of Zhejiang, China. Combined with individual gene polymorphism, the accuracy of risk assessment of Helicobacter pylori infection can be improved and individualized health education can be provided for patients with Helicobacter pylori infection by nurses.

Project description:PurposeIn the Zhejiang region, research on Helicobacter pylori is lacking. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent of antibiotic resistance in H. pylori in this region, explore alternative methods for predicting the resistance patterns of H. pylori, and investigate the colonization of native gastric mucosa by other clades of H. pylori in the structure population of this bacterium.MethodsStrains were cultured under microaerobic conditions, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was performed via agar dilution. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed via next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Epidemiological data including data from this study and reported articles from Zhejiang, China, were included. Further analyses based on AST, WGS, and epidemiological date include virulence genes, antibiotic resistance-related mutations, and phylogenetic trees based on 7 housekeeping genes and core-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).ResultsThe bacterial isolates in this study presented higher antibiotic resistance rates than previously reported, especially against levofloxacin and clarithromycin. The point mutation A2147G in 23 S rRNA is specific to clarithromycin resistance. Mutations at position/s 87 and/or 91 of the gyrA gene amino acid sequence are highly consistent with levofloxacin resistance highly. The point mutations C1707T in 23 S rRNA and E463K in the gyrB gene have not been previously documented in China. All the bacterial isolates belong to Asian branches in the structure population. The resistance rate to clarithromycin of isolates from hosts born after January 1, 1977 is statistically higher than that of hosts born before 1977.ConclusionEradication therapy based on AST results is urgently needed in Zhejiang. The point mutation A2147G in 23 S rRNA and point mutations in the gyrA gene at amino acid/s 87 and/or 91 are sufficient for predicting resistance to clarithromycin and levofloxacin, respectively. The isolate with the mutation E463K in the gyrB gene represents a significant contribution to the field. Mutations in 23 S rRNA may offer valuable insights into the dynamics of H. pylori transmission among hosts.

Project description:AimTo isolate the subtypes of 3' region of cagA gene in Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) strains from Zhejiang Province in China and to investigate their relations to H pylori-associated gastroduodenal diseases.MethodsOne hundred and thirty-seven H pylori clinical strains were isolated from the gastric mucosa specimens of 74 patients with chronic gastritis, 61 with peptic ulceration, and 2 with gastric cancer. Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted and 3' region of cagA gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Subtypes of 3' region of cagA gene were determined by the size of PCR amplified segments. The sequences of the subtypes were analyzed by PCR-based sequencing.ResultsOf the 137 H pylori isolates from Zhejiang Province, 132 (96.4%) yielded PCR products that could be classified into three groups of subtypes, named as subtypes I, II, and III according to their sizes. The sizes of subtypes I, II, and III were 648-650 bp, 705-707 bp, and 815 bp, respectively. Among the 132 cagA-positive H pylori strains, 123 (93.2%) belonged to the group of subtype I, 6 (4.5%) presented subtype II, 1 (0.8%) was subtype III, and 2 (1.5%) presented subtypes I and III both. The primary structure of subtype I was composed of 3 repeats of R1, 1 repeat of R2 and 1 repeat of R3. Subtype II possessing 4 repeats of R1, 2 repeats of R2 and 1 repeat of R3 was a newly found type of 3' region of cagA gene which had not been reported before. The primary structure of subtype III consisted of 4 repeats of R1, 1 repeat of R2 and 2 repeats of R3. Comparison of the sequences of subtype I strains with the corresponding sequences deposited in GenBank, showed a similarity of 95.0% (94.0-96.1%) for nucleotide sequences and 95.9% (94.9-97.4%) for deduced amino acid sequences. Comparison of the sequences of subtype III strains with the corresponding sequences deposited in GenBank, showed a similarity of 93.9% (90.8-96.9%) for nucleotide sequences and 93.2% (90.2-96.2%) for deduced amino acid sequences. Among subtype II strains, the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences showed a similarity of 95.2% (94.1-96.5%) and 96.4% (93.8-97.9%), respectively. There were no statistical differences in the distribution of subtypes of 3' region of cagA gene among different H pylori-associated gastroduodenal diseases (chi(2) = 11.544, P>0.05).ConclusionThere are three subtypes (I, II, and III) of 3' region of cagA gene in H pylori strains isolated from Zhejiang Province, and subtypeIis predominant. Subtype II is a newly found subtype of 3' region of cagA gene. The result of this study does not support the view that the subtypes of 3' region of cagA gene in H pylori isolated from Zhejiang Province are correlated with the clinical outcomes of H pylori infection.

Project description:Toll-like Receptors (TLRs), such as the TLR4, are genes encoding transmembrane receptors of the same name, which induce a pro- or anti-inflammatory response according to their expression as the host's first line of defense against pathogens, such as infectious ones. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of mutation in the human genome and can generate functional modification in genes. The aim of this article is to review in which infectious diseases there is an association of susceptibility or protection by the TLR4 SNP rs4986790. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was conducted in the Science Direct, PUBMED, MEDLINE, and SciELO databases between 2011 and 2021 based on the dominant genotypic model of this SNP for general and subgroup analysis of infectious agent type in random effect. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for genotypic comparison. I2 statistics were calculated to assess the presence of heterogeneity between studies and funnel plots were inspected for indication of publication bias. A total of 27 articles were included, all in English. Among the results achieved, the categories of diseases that were most associated with the SNP studied were in decreasing order of number of articles: infections by bacteria (29.63%); caused by viruses (22.23%); urinary tract infection-UTI (7.4%), while 11 studies (40.74%) demonstrated a nonsignificant association. In this meta-analysis, a total of 5599 cases and 5871 controls were finalized. The present meta-analysis suggests that there is no significant association between TLR4-rs4986790 SNP and infections (OR = 1,11; 95% CI: 0,75-1,66; p = 0,59), but in the virus subgroup it was associated with a higher risk (OR = 2,16; 95% CI: 1,09-4,30; p = 0,03). The subgroups of bacteria and parasites did not show statistical significance (OR = 0,86; 95% CI: 0,56-1,30; p = 0,47, and no estimate of effects, respectively). Therefore, it has been shown that a diversity of infectious diseases is related to this polymorphism, either by susceptibility or even severity to them, and the receptor generated is also crucial for the generation of cell signaling pathways and immune response against pathogens.
