To study the human migration inhibitory factor (MIF) level in tuberculosis (TB) patients, and the relationship between MIF-794CATT microsatellite polymorphism and susceptibility of TB in Southwest China.
TB patients (n=151) and healthy unrelated controls (n=149) were recruited for this study. Genomic DNA was extracted, and then amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). MIF-794CATT(5-8) microsatellite polymorphism was genotyped by DNA sequencing. MIF level was detected by ELISA.
In the TB group, the repeat number of 7/7 and 7/8 (17.89%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (8.05%), and the serum MIF level was also much higher than that of the healthy controls (705.21 ± 67.98 vs. 355.31 ± 57.29 pg/mL, p<0.01).
The appearance of MIF-794CATT 7/7 and 7/8 is associated with susceptibility to TB, and may play an important role in the occurrence and development of TB in Southwest China.
研究人迁移抑制因子(MIF)在结核病(TB)患者中的水平,以及 MIF-794CATT 微卫星多态性与中国西南地区 TB 易感性的关系。
本研究招募了 151 例 TB 患者和 149 例健康无关对照者。提取基因组 DNA,然后通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增。通过 DNA 测序对 MIF-794CATT(5-8)微卫星多态性进行基因分型。通过 ELISA 检测 MIF 水平。
在 TB 组中,7/7 和 7/8 重复数(17.89%)明显高于对照组(8.05%),血清 MIF 水平也明显高于健康对照组(705.21±67.98 vs. 355.31±57.29 pg/mL,p<0.01)。
MIF-794CATT7/7 和 7/8 的出现与 TB 的易感性有关,可能在中国西南地区 TB 的发生和发展中起重要作用。
