CD5 plays a crucial role in autoimmunity and is a well-established genetic risk factor of developing RA. Recently, evidence of positive selection has been provided for the CD5 Pro224-Val471 haplotype in East Asian populations. The aim of the present work was to further analyze the functional relevance of non-synonymous CD5 polymorphisms conforming the ancestral and the newly derived haplotypes (Pro224-Ala471 and Pro224-Val471, respectively) as well as to investigate the potential role of CD5 on the development of SLE and/or SLE nephritis.
The CD5 SNPs rs2241002 (C/T; Pro224Leu) and rs2229177 (C/T; Ala471Val) were genotyped using TaqMan allelic discrimination assays in a total of 1,324 controls and 681 SLE patients of Spanish origin. In vitro analysis of CD3-mediated T cell proliferative and cytokine response profiles of healthy volunteers homozygous for the above mentioned CD5 haplotypes were also analyzed.
T-cell proliferation and cytokine release were significantly increased showing a bias towards to a Th2 profile after CD3 cross-linking of peripheral mononuclear cells from healthy individuals homozygous for the ancestral Pro224-Ala471 (CC) haplotype, compared to the more recently derived Pro224-Val471 (CT). The same allelic combination was statistically associated with Lupus nephritis.
The ancestral Ala471 CD5 allele confers lymphocyte hyper-responsiveness to TCR/CD3 cross-linking and is associated with nephritis in SLE patients.
CD5在自身免疫中起关键作用,是类风湿关节炎(RA)发病的一个公认的遗传风险因素。最近,东亚人群中已发现CD5基因Pro224-Val471单倍型存在正选择证据。本研究旨在进一步分析构成祖先型和新衍生型单倍型(分别为Pro224-Ala471和Pro224-Val471)的非同义CD5多态性的功能相关性,以及探讨CD5在系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)和/或狼疮性肾炎发病中的潜在作用。
采用TaqMan等位基因鉴别分析法对1324名对照者和681名西班牙裔SLE患者进行CD5单核苷酸多态性(SNP)rs2241002(C/T;Pro224Leu)和rs2229177(C/T;Ala471Val)基因分型。同时对上述CD5单倍型纯合的健康志愿者进行体外CD3介导的T细胞增殖和细胞因子反应谱分析。
与新衍生的Pro224-Val471(CT)单倍型相比,祖先型Pro224-Ala471(CC)单倍型纯合的健康个体外周单个核细胞经CD3交联后,T细胞增殖和细胞因子释放显著增加,且表现出向Th2型的偏向性。相同的等位基因组合与狼疮性肾炎存在统计学关联。
祖先型Ala471 CD5等位基因使淋巴细胞对TCR/CD3交联反应过度,且与SLE患者的肾炎相关。
