Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1, Pdcd1), an immunoreceptor belonging to the CD28/CTLA-4 family negatively regulates antigen receptor signalling by recruiting protein tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-2 upon interacting with either of two ligands, PD-L1 or PD-L2. This study investigates PD-1 gene polymorphism in patients with antisperm antibody-related infertility
Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion (PCR-RFLP), this polymorphism was genotyped in 145 Iranian subjects (61 patients with antisperm antibody-related infertility and 84 healthy controls).
Patients frequencies of the G/A genotype in comparison with healthy controls (38.2 % vs. 32.7 %, OR =1.21, P = 0.35) were not significantly different. However, G/G and A/A genotype frequencies between patients and healthy controls were significantly different (P = 0.042, P = 0.00001, respectively). Also, allele frequencies of this polymorphism were significantly different (P = 0.0012) in patients compared to healthy controls.
According to these results, there is a correlation between PD-1 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to antisperm antibody-related infertility in our study group.
程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(PD-1,Pdcd1)是一种属于CD28/CTLA-4家族的免疫受体,在与两种配体(PD-L1或PD-L2)之一相互作用时,通过招募蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶SHP-2来负向调节抗原受体信号传导。本研究调查抗精子抗体相关不孕症患者的PD-1基因多态性。
采用聚合酶链反应和限制性内切酶消化法(PCR-RFLP)进行基因分型,对145名伊朗受试者(61例抗精子抗体相关不孕症患者和84名健康对照)进行该多态性基因分型。
患者的G/A基因型频率与健康对照相比(38.2%对32.7%,OR =1.21,P = 0.35)无显著差异。然而,患者与健康对照之间的G/G和A/A基因型频率有显著差异(分别为P = 0.042,P = 0.00001)。此外,该多态性的等位基因频率在患者与健康对照之间也有显著差异(P = 0.0012)。
根据这些结果,在我们的研究组中,PD-1基因多态性与抗精子抗体相关不孕症的易感性之间存在相关性。
