摘要

目的Toll样受体(TLR)信号通路一直是变应性鼻炎(AR)和哮喘等变态反应性疾病的研究热点,研究TLR通路基因单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)与AR发病的相关性及机制。方法采用基于医院的病例-对照研究,选择持续性AR患者452例及正常人群495例。通过生物信息学数据库系统筛选TLR通路基因6个SNPs,分别是TLR2的rs7656411、rs76112010、rs7682814,CD14的rs2563298、rs2569190、rs2569191。采用TaqMan技术对SNPs进行分型,ImmunoCAP100变应原体外检测系统测定血清总IgE、特异性IgE,分析SNPs与AR发病率的相关性,并探讨基因-基因相互作用。结果CD14的rs2563298、rs2569191基因分布在AR组与对照组比较有统计学意义(P<0.05)。TLR2的rs7656411和CD14的rs2563298、rs2569191在AR伴随哮喘组与正常对照组中基因分布有明显差异。此外TLR2的rs7656411在AR男性组和有家族史组与对照组的基因分布有明显差异,CD14的rs2563298、rs2569191在AR分组中与对照组均有明显差异。基因交互发现rs7656411,rs2563298、rs2569191三个位点存在阳性关联。结论TLR通路基因TLR2、CD14多态性与AR发病风险及其临床表型存在一定相关性。

Abstract

ObjectiveThe involvement of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in allergic rhinitis (AR), asthma, and other allergic diseases is being intensively studied. The present study assessed the correlation between TLR pathway gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and incidence of AR, and investigated the influence of SNPs in the pathogenesis of AR.MethodsCandidate TLR pathway SNPs were screened by a search of a bioinformatics database system using the TaqMan SNP genotyping system as part of a hospital-based case-control study of 452 AR patients and 491 healthy controls. Serum levels of eosinophil cationic protein, total IgE, and allergen-specific IgE were measured by the Immuno CAP blood test.ResultsSix SNPs were identified (TLR2 rs7656411, rs76112010, rs7682814 and CD14 rs2563298, rs2569190, rs2569191). Genotype frequencies of CD14 rs2563298 and rs2569191 were significantly different between the cases and controls (P<0.05). AR patients with asthma were significantly associated with the rs7656411, rs2563298, and rs2569191. Genotype frequencies of TLR2 rs7656411 were significantly different between controls and the male and history case subgroups. Significant differences were also found in genotypes of CD14 rs2563298 and rs2569191 compared with control and subgroups of cases. Gene interaction analysis revealed a three-locus interaction involving TLR2 rs7656411, CD14 rs2563298, and CD14 rs2569191 in AR cases.ConclusionPolymorphisms of TLR2 and CD14 in the TLR pathway may contribute to susceptibility of AR in this Chinese population.

变应性鼻炎(allergic rhinitis,AR)是由IgE介导的I型变态反应引起的鼻部炎性疾病,主要症状为鼻痒、流涕、喷嚏和鼻塞[1]。该病目前在全球的流行明显增加,在我国患病率为8.7%~24.1%[2]。同时,许多流行病学研究发现鼻炎常伴随着哮喘的发生发展[3,4,5]。AR和哮喘均为受多因素影响、基因与环境共同作用的变态反应疾病[6],虽然AR与哮喘的变态反应症状分别表现在上、下呼吸道,但两者不仅遗传背景相似[7],并且呼吸道黏膜结构及功能相似,因此提出了“同一气道,同一疾病”的概念[8]

研究发现,Toll样受体(Toll-like receptors,TLR)及其通路与鼻部炎性疾病的发生发展相关[9,10]。TLR能通过调控多种与AR发生密切相关的细胞如树突状细胞、肥大细胞和调节性T细胞(regulatory T-cells, Treg),参与Th1/Th2免疫反应平衡的调控。研究显示[11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]TLR2TLR5TLR7TLR9对变应性炎症主要起负性调节作用,通过诱导Treg细胞扩增等机制,促使免疫系统向Th1分化,抑制或逆转Th2反应。TLR通路中的一些细胞因子比如MyD88[19]、TIRAP[20,21]、CD14[15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]等在信号传导中发挥十分重要的作用。

目前已有多项在不同人群中的研究证实TLR及其通路基因多态性(single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs)与哮喘的相关性[23,24,25,26,27,28,29],然而与AR的关联研究报道较少[24,30,31,32,33]。本研究选择TLR通路中与变态反应疾病密切相关的TLR2、CD14作为候选基因,筛选6个SNP位点,探讨与AR的相关性及与鼻炎相关临床表型(包括鼻炎严重度、伴随哮喘、血清总IgE及特异性IgE水平等)的相关性。

1 材料与方法

1.1 研究对象 病例选择按照WHO“变应性鼻炎及其对哮喘的影响(ARIA 2008)”和中华医学会“变应性鼻炎诊断和治疗指南(2009年,武夷山)”的诊断依据。研究对象为2008年5月至2016年1月在南京医科大学第一附属医院(江苏省人民医院)就诊的持续性AR患者,病史和临床资料来源于门诊病史采集及面对面的问卷调查。所有病例均来自江苏和安徽的汉族人群,对于患者的年龄、性别无特殊限制,采血前4周内未使用过糖皮质激素,2周内未使用过抗组胺药、白三烯受体拮抗剂等抗过敏药物。

对照选自同时期来医院进行健康体检的人群,所选对照要求:①无AR及鼻部疾病症状和病史;②无哮喘等其他变态反应疾病症状和病史;③血清变应原特异性IgE阴性;④直系一代亲属内无AR或其他变态反应疾病史。病例和对照按照频数匹配的原则进行匹配,年龄范围为±5岁,男女性别按照病例中的比例进行匹配。

本研究得到研究机构伦理委员会的批准,严格遵循相关规定获得研究对象(监护人)的书面知情同意。所有病例和对照均为华东地区无血缘关系的汉族人。

1.2 标本收集和DNA提取 对病例及对照者进行问卷调查,问卷的主要内容包括一般情况、人口学特征、疾病的症状、体征、病史、家族史及伴随疾病。视觉模拟评分(VAS):从0 cm(无影响)至10 cm(影响最重)评价患者对鼻部症状的主观感觉,包括流涕、喷嚏、鼻塞、鼻眼痒及总的鼻部症状。VAS评分<5诊断为轻度鼻炎,VAS评分≥5为中重度鼻炎[34]

经知情同意,研究对象抽取肘部静脉血2 mL,装入含惰性分离胶的促凝管中,在临床检验中心进行血常规检测。同时抽取静脉血5mL,分装入三个清洁EDTA抗凝管中,其中1管置于-20 ℃冰箱保存,剩余两管经1 000 rpm离心10 min,分离得到血浆,分装于试管,血浆置-70℃低温冰箱冷冻保存待测。使用QIAGEN公司生产的全血基因组DNA提取试剂盒,提取DNA最低浓度为100 ng/μL,纯度为1.8~2.0。同时采用1%琼脂糖凝胶电泳质检。

1.3 SNPs的基因分型 根据文献报道并结合生物信息网络数据库,优先选取位于启动子区(promoter)、基因编码区(coding gene region)、5′-非翻译区(5′-untranslated region,5-UTR)、3′-非翻译区(3′-untranslated region,3-UTR)及3′-侧翼区(3′-near gene)的碱基突变。选取的基因多态位点在中国人群中最小等位基因频率(minor allele frequency, MAF)大于0.05。经过筛选选取TLR2的rs7656411、rs76112010、rs7682814和CD14的rs2563298、rs2569190、rs2569191作为候选SNPs(表1),采用TaqMan基因分型系统进行检测。设计PCR引物,定制TaqMan荧光双标记探针,然后运用TaqMan荧光定量PCR技术对SNPs位点基因型进行分析,其结果用序列检测软件进行输出。另外,采取TaqMan技术随机抽取一定比例(不低于10%)的随机样本进行重复检测,以验证检测方法的可靠性。

1.4 血清总IgE和特异性IgE检测 使用ImmunoCAP体外变应原检测系统检测血清总IgE和特异性IgE水平。本地区常见吸入物变应原包括屋尘螨、粉尘螨、猫毛、狗毛、德国小蠊、链格孢霉、艾蒿及豚草花粉等。血清总IgE检测范围为2~5 000 kU/L;特异性IgE检测范围为0.35~100 kUA/L,特异性IgE水平≥0.35 kUA/L为阳性。

1.5 统计学处理 采用Epidata软件对临床资料和实验室数据进行录入和管理。应用SPSS及SAS软件进行资料的统计学分析。分析方法包括计数资料的单因素χ2检验(包括突变基因型在对照人群中的Hardy-Weinberg平衡检验)、t检验、方差分析和协方差分析,单变量和多变量Logistic回归分析计算。使用多因子降维法(multifactor dimensionality reduction, MDR)软件进行病例-对照中各SNPs之间的基因-基因交互作用。检验水准α= 0.05。

2.2 单个基因多态位点分析

6个SNPs中,CD14的rs2563298(C>A)和rs2569191(C>T)基因位点在与AR疾病存在阳性相关(rs2563298:P = 0.003, rs2569191:P = 0.008)。rs2563298位点相比野生CC基因型,携带CA基因型 (OR =0.65; 95%CI = 0.48~0.89)、AA基因型(OR =0.40; 95%CI = 0.18~0.89)和CA/AA联合基因型(OR =0.62; 95%CI = 0.46~0.83)的个体可以明显降低AR的发病风险。rs2569191位点的CT(OR =0.65; 95%CI = 0.48~0.87)、TT(OR =0.65; 95%CI = 0.44~0.95)和联合基因型CT/TT(OR =0.65; 95%CI = 0.49~0.85),相比野生型CC,明显降低了AR的发病风险。虽然TLR2的rs7656411位点总效应为阴性结果,但对比野生型GG,联合基因型GT/TT明显增加了AR的发病风险(OR =0.65; 95%CI = 0.49~0.85, P=0.035)(表3)。

2.3 基因多态位点与AR临床表型的相关性研究 由于病例组和对照组过敏状态的差异,所以分开进行总IgE、特异性IgE与各位点之间的相关性统计。在病例和对照组中,6个多态性位点均未发现与总IgE水平明显相关(P>0.05)。此外,其他AR相关临床指标包括症状严重度、特异性IgE水平及ECP水平均未发现与单个多态性位点有明显相关(P>0.05)。

分层分析中(表4),相比对照组,携带杂合/突变纯合性(MW/MM)基因型的rs7656411 (GT/TT)在男性组(OR = 1.62; 95%CI = 1.12~2.30)、有哮喘组(OR = 1.61; 95%CI = 1.13~2.28) 、有家族史组(OR =1.64; 95%CI = 1.16~2.33)的患者中提升了AR的患病风险。rs2563298的CA/AA基因型在年龄<18岁组、女性组、有/无哮喘组、有/无家族史组、高/低VAS组、低IgE组均相比对照组降低AR的发病风险。rs256191的CT/TT只有在无家族史组为阴性结果,在其他组别,如年龄组、性别组、有/无哮喘组、有家族史组、高/低VAS组、高/低IgE组均相比对照组降低了AR的发病风险。

2.4 多态性位点的基因-基因交互作用

采用MDR模型分析6个多态性位点的交互作用发现(表5),包含了TLR2的rs7656411和CD14的rs2563298、rs2569191位点为最佳模型,此模型经1000次置换检验发现交叉验证一致性和预测误差都有统计学意义(P<0.000 1),且训练样本准确度(0.595 3)、检测样本准确度(0.548 7)、交叉验证一致性(8/10)均为最高,因此三位点之间可能存在基因-基因交互作用。MDR树状图(图1)可知rs2563298和rs2569191位点之间距离更近,可能存在强协同的交互作用。

3 讨 论

TLR属于I型跨膜蛋白,是一类重要的模式识别受体,TLR对其配体的识别,不但启动了天然免疫系统,也激活了特异性免疫系统。TLR能通过调控多种与AR发生密切相关的细胞如树突状细胞、肥大细胞和调节性T细胞(regulatory T-cells, Treg),参与Th1/Th2免疫反应平衡的调控。我们从TLR通路中筛选了来自TLR2CD14的6个SNP并进行了中国汉族人群的病例与对照研究。最终结果显示CD14的rs2563298、rs2569191位点与AR发病明显相关,TLR2的rs7656411(GT/TT基因型)与AR发病率相关。

TLR通过多种识别分子与其配体结合,经多种衔接分子将信号转导至细胞内,如IL-1受体相关激酶(IL-1 receptor-associated kinase,IRAK)、肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子6(tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor,TRAF6)等,激活NF-κB或丝裂原活化蛋白激酶等,诱导免疫相关基因的表达[35]。TLR通路中的细胞因子在信号传导中发挥重要作用。细胞内TLR2/4信号传导起始的关键分子机制是TLR2/4、TIRAP和MyD88三者的TIR结构域的特异性组装[19]。CD14与TLR2、TLR4通过相互间的协同作用发挥其生物学功能[15,22]

TLR2在单核-巨噬细胞、内皮细胞、上皮细胞、成纤维细胞等有表达。TLR2识别谱较广, 能够识别细菌肽聚糖、脂蛋白、病毒包膜蛋白等微生物成分并激活信号转导途径,最终导致获得性免疫的发生。大量的研究表明, TLR2对变应性反应有抑制作用[11,12,13,36],但也有报道TLR2对变应性反应有促进作用[37]。本研究中rs7656411位点 T等位基因与AR发病存在相关(P=0.035),该位点位于3′侧翼区,可能参与mRNA的转录从而影响基因的表达。目前尚未有rs7656411位点与AR相关性文献报道,但该位点被证实与中国人群哮喘发病相关[24]TLR2的rs4696480位点在加拿大人群中与AR发病无相关[38],597 T/C和1350 T/C 位点在韩国人群中与AR发病无相关,仅单倍型(597C-1350C)有阳性相关[30]。TLR2的多态性位点在哮喘病例对照研究中较多,rs13150331、rs2289318、rs3804099位点在法国人群中与哮喘发病相关[39],也有阴性报道[40,41,42,43]。最近一篇Meta分析统计TLR2的4个位点rs5743708、 rs3804099、rs3804100和rs4696480对哮喘易感性,发现仅rs4696480位点与哮喘发病相关[44]

CD14是脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)的高亲和力受体,还能够介导其他G+及G-细菌成分与细胞的反应。LPS通过TLR4和cDl4介导刺激IL-12、IFN-γ分泌增加, 可以促使免疫系统向Th1转变。本研究中CD14的rs2563298和rs2569191位点与AR疾病存在阳性相关。尚未有此两位点与AR相关的文献报道,来自埃及[45]和巴基斯坦人群[46]的研究均证实了rs2569191位点与哮喘的相关性,一项爱尔兰的研究[47]证实rs2569191位点与荨麻疹及特异性疾病有关。在本研究中rs2569190位点与AR发病无明显相关,在日本人群研究[48]中结果为阴性,2018年一篇Meta分析[49]同样证实了本观点,但有研究报道不同结果[46,50]。一项来自中国北方人群研究[49]发现rs2569190位点TT基因型与AR发病相关,出现矛盾的结果可能由于那项研究的小样本量(病例92例,对照72例)可能导致结果的可信度较低,且中国南北地域差异引起的环境不同。

在研究TLR2CD14基因多态性位点与AR相关临床指标的相关性中,我们发现TLR2的rs7656411、CD14的rs2563298和 rs2569191均与AR伴随哮喘的患者有明显相关,证实了诸多TLR2CD14与哮喘相关的报道[39,44,45,46]。在本研究中各多态性位点与总IgE水平无明显相关。在日本[48]、中国儿童[51]、美国[52]以及德国人群[53]研究中同样证实了患者中的血清总IgE与CD14基因多态性无明显相关。然而一些不同人群的研究报道了阳性结果,比如俄罗斯过敏人群[54]TLR2 rs5743708)和美国哮喘人群[55]CD14 rs2569190),这也说明了种族在基因多态性中存在的差异。

本研究采用MDR模型分析发现TLR2CD14可能存在基因交互作用。已有多项研究发现TLR2与CD14的协同作用,TLR2是LPS的信号转导分子,它的活化有赖于LPS结合蛋白(LPS binding protein,LBP)和CD14的存在。LPS能够诱导肥大细胞释放 TNF-α、IL-5、IL-10和IL-13,激活TLR2或TLR4信号转导通路可以促进Th2型免疫反应,同时也依赖CD14的存在[56]。此外有研究显示过敏性疾病中CD14与环境之间同样有交互作用,皮肤点刺阳性患者中携带CD14 rs2569190 CC基因型且在农村环境可降低哮喘发病率[39]。通过MDR模型研究,在菲律宾过敏人群[57]CD14IL4、FCER1B、 IL4RA、 ADRB2)和韩国过敏儿童人群[58]CD14IL-4Rα、 IL-13、IL-13Rα1、CTLA4)均发现了CD14与过敏相关基因的交互作用。过敏性疾病本身即是基因与环境共同作用,因此基因与基因、基因与环境交互作用将会更全面阐释过敏疾病发生与发展。

综上所述,本研究证实TLR通路中TLR2CD14基因多态性在汉族人群AR的发病过程中起到重要作用,需要更多功能性的研究去证实其分子机制,以及搜集更多环境因素资料以体现在AR中的基因-环境交互作用。
