CC chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is a chemokine receptor that influences the immune response to infectious and parasitic diseases. This study aimed to determine whether the CCR5Δ32 and CCR5 59029 A/G polymorphisms are associated with the development of ocular toxoplasmosis in humans. Patients with positive serology for Toxoplasma gondii were analyzed and grouped as 'with ocular toxoplasmosis' (G1: n=160) or 'without ocular toxoplasmosis' (G2: n=160). A control group (G3) consisted of 160 individuals with negative serology. The characterization of the CCR5Δ32 and CCR5 59029 A/G polymorphisms was by PCR and by PCR-RFLP, respectively. The difference between the groups with respect to the mean age (G1: mean age: 47.3, SD±19.3, median: 46 [range: 18-95]; G2: mean age: 61.3, SD±13.7, median: 61 [range: 21-87]; G3: mean age: 38.8, SD±17.9, median: 34 [range: 18-80]) was statistically significant (G1 vs.G2: p-value <0.0001; t=7.21; DF=318; G1 vs.G3: p-value <0.0001; t=4.32; DF=318; G2 vs. G3: p-value <0.0001; t=9.62; DF=318). The Nagelkerke r value was 0.040. There were statistically significant differences for the CCR5/CCR5 (p-value=0.008; OR=0.261), AA (p-value=0.007; OR=2.974) and AG genotypes (p-value=0.018; OR=2.447) between G1 and G2. Individuals with the CCR5/CCR5 genotype and simultaneously the CCR5-59029 AA or AG genotypes have a greater risk of developing ocular toxoplasmosis (4% greater), which may be associated with a strong and persistent inflammatory response in ocular tissue.
C-C趋化因子受体5(CCR5)是一种趋化因子受体,可影响对感染性疾病和寄生虫病的免疫反应。本研究旨在确定CCR5Δ32和CCR5 59029 A/G基因多态性是否与人类眼弓形虫病的发生有关。对弓形虫血清学检测呈阳性的患者进行分析,并分为“患有眼弓形虫病”组(G1:n = 160)或“未患眼弓形虫病”组(G2:n = 160)。对照组(G3)由160名血清学检测呈阴性的个体组成。CCR5Δ32和CCR5 59029 A/G基因多态性分别通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)和聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析(PCR-RFLP)进行鉴定。各组之间的平均年龄存在统计学显著差异(G1:平均年龄:47.3,标准差±19.3,中位数:46 [范围:18 - 95];G2:平均年龄:61.3,标准差±13.7,中位数:61 [范围:21 - 87];G3:平均年龄:38.8,标准差±17.9,中位数:34 [范围:18 - 80])(G1与G2比较:p值<0.0001;t = 7.21;自由度 = 318;G1与G3比较:p值<0.0001;t = 4.32;自由度 = 318;G2与G3比较:p值<0.0001;t = 9.62;自由度 = 318)。Nagelkerke r值为0.040。G1和G2之间在CCR5/CCR5(p值 = 0.008;比值比 = 0.261)、AA(p值 = 0.007;比值比 = 2.974)和AG基因型(p值 = 0.018;比值比 = 2.447)方面存在统计学显著差异。具有CCR5/CCR5基因型且同时具有CCR5 - 59029 AA或AG基因型的个体发生眼弓形虫病的风险更高(高4%),这可能与眼组织中强烈且持续的炎症反应有关。
