Mature B-cell neoplasms are typically divided into Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. Hodgkin Lymphoma is characterized by the neoplastic Reed-Sternberg cells, usually harbored in an inflammatory background, with a frequent clinical presentation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Many studies link between autoimmunity and lymphomagenesis, a large proportion of these studies evidently trace the pathogenesis back to the misdirected detection of self-derived nucleic acids by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), especially those of the intracellular type. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between a selected SNP in TLR9 (TLR9-1237T>C; rs5743836) and the risk and overall survival of HL patients in a Jordanian Arab population. A total of 374 subjects; 136 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma and 238 matched healthy controls were incorporated in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Genotyping of the genetic polymorphisms was conducted using a sequencing protocol. The results show a statistically significant higher distribution of the rs5743836 (TLR9-1237T>C) allele among the case population, with a p-value of 0.031 (<0.05). This distribution proved significant when studied in the codominant (only significant in the T/C genotype, p-value = 0.030), dominant (p-value = 0.025), and overdominant (p-value = 0.035) models. None of the models showed any statistically significant difference in survival associated with the rs5743836 (TLR9-1237T>C) SNP.
成熟 B 细胞肿瘤通常分为霍奇金淋巴瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤。霍奇金淋巴瘤的特征是肿瘤性 Reed-Sternberg 细胞,通常存在于炎症背景中,常表现为纵隔淋巴结病。许多研究将自身免疫与淋巴瘤发生联系起来,其中很大一部分研究显然将发病机制追溯到 Toll 样受体 (TLR) 对自身来源核酸的错误检测,尤其是细胞内型 TLR。在这项研究中,我们分析了 TLR9(TLR9-1237T>C;rs5743836)中的一个选定 SNP 与约旦阿拉伯人群中 HL 患者的风险和总生存之间的关系。共纳入 374 例受试者;136 例霍奇金淋巴瘤和 238 例匹配的健康对照者。从福尔马林固定石蜡包埋组织中提取基因组 DNA。使用测序方案进行遗传多态性的基因分型。结果显示,病例组中 rs5743836(TLR9-1237T>C)等位基因的分布具有统计学意义上的显著升高,p 值为 0.031(<0.05)。当在共显性(仅在 T/C 基因型中具有统计学意义,p 值=0.030)、显性(p 值=0.025)和超显性(p 值=0.035)模型中进行研究时,这种分布是显著的。rs5743836(TLR9-1237T>C)SNP 与生存相关的任何模型均未显示出统计学上的显著差异。
