目的 探讨TNF-α及其受体基因多态性与中国西北地区汉族人群类风湿性关节炎(rheumatoid arthritis, RA)易感性及其血清学指标的相关性。方法 利用高分辨率熔解曲线(high resolution melting, HRM) 技术对452例RA患者和匹配的356例正常对照人群的TNF-α及其受体6个SNP位点(TNFA -857C>T、TNFA -863C>A、TNFA -308G>A、TNFA -238G>A、TNFR1-383A>C、TNFR2-exonT>G)的基因多态性进行病例-对照研究。此外,采用临床常规方法 测定RA患者的抗环瓜氨酸肽抗体(anti-CCP)和类风湿因子(RF),分析其与6个SNP位点的相关性。结果 TNFA -308GA和-863CA基因型在RA病例组和正常对照组中频率分布差异有统计学意义(P=0.001, P=0.002),TNFA -238GA、TNFA -238AA及TNFR2-exonTG、TNFR2-exonGG基因型在两组间频率分布差异无统计学意义(P=0.701,P=0.999,P=0.825,P=0.330)。由TNFA 3个位点构成的单倍型-238G/-308A/-863C(GAC)、-238G/-308G/-863A(GGA)和-238G/-308G/-863C(GGC)在两组间的频率分布差异均有统计学意义 (P=0.016,P=0.033,P=0.023)。TNF-α及其受体基因多态性与RA血清学指标(RF、anti-CCP)未见明显相关性。结论 TNFA -308GA和TNFA -863CA与中国西北地区汉族人群RA易感性相关;TNFA单倍型GAC、GGA和GGC与RA易感性相关;TNF-α及其受体基因多态性与RA患者血清学指标未见明显相关性。 |

Abstract: |
Objective To investigate the correlation of gene polymorphisms of TNF-α and its receptor with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility and the related serological markers in the Han nationality living in northwest China. MethodsThe gene polymorphisms of TNF-α and its receptor (TNFA -857C>T, TNFA -863C>A,TNFA -308G>A,TNFA -238G>A,TNFR1-383A>C,TNFR2-exonT>G) were determined by high resolution melting (HRM) in 452 RA patients and 356 controls in a case-control manner. Anti-cyclic citrullinated protein antibodies (anti-CCP) and rheumatoid factors (RF) were measured by clinical conventional methods, and their association with the gene polymorphisms of TNF-α and its receptor was analyzed. ResultsSignificant differences were found in the distribution frequencies of TNFA -308GA and -863CA between RA cases and healthy controls (P=0.001,P=0.002), but not in the frequencies of TNFA -238GA,TNFA -238AA,TNFR2-exonTG or TNFR2-exonGG (P=0.701,P=0.999,P=0.825, P=0.330). In addition, significant differences were also found in the distribution frequencies of TNFA haplotypes of -238G/-308A/-863C(GAC), -238G/-308G/-863A(GGA) and -238G/-308G/-863C(GGC) between the two groups (P=0.016, P=0.033, P=0.023). Furthermore, we found that RA serological markers (RF, anti-CCP) were not significantly correlated with the gene polymorphisms of TNF-α and its receptors. ConclusionTNFA -308GA and TNFA -863CA are associated with RA susceptibility in Han nationality living in northwest China, so are the TNFA haplotypes of GAC, GGA and GGC. Gene polymorphisms TNF-α and its receptor have no significant correlation with RA serological markers. |
