The influence of the polymorphism of toll like receptor 7 rs179016 on the transcriptional activity

摘要: 目的 Toll样受体7(toll like receptor 7,TLR7)在识别和介导抗丙型肝炎病毒(hepatitis C virus,HCV)免疫应答中有重要作用。本研究旨在分析TLR7 rs179016单核苷酸多态性对TLR7基因转录活性的影响。方法 收集22例健康男性者血液,提取全基因组DNA及外周血单个核细胞,采用实时定量逆转录-聚合酶链反应(reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction,RT-PCR)法检测TLR7 mRNA水平,并采用荧光素酶报告基因法,检测含有rs179016 C、G等位基因的质粒及空白质粒的HEK-293T细胞在培养24 h后荧光素强度,分析该位点对TLR7转录活性的影响。结果 携带rs179016危险等位基因C组TLR7 mRNA表达水平低于rs179016G组(t=-7.352,P<0.001),转染含有rs179016G质粒的细胞表达较高强度的荧光素酶活性。结论 TLR7 rs179016多态性可能通过影响TLR7基因的转录和表达水平来影响该受体功能的发挥,可能与HCV的易感性和感染转归有关。Abstract: Objective Toll like receptor 7 (TLR7) plays an important role in sensing and provoking an immune response in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study aims to investigate the correlation of the polymorphism of TLR7 rs179016 with the transcription activity of TLR7. Methods 22 male volunteers were included in this study. The TLR7 mRNA expression was evaluated by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of the cultured HEK-293T cell lysates containing rs179016 C/G or empty plasmid was assessed using a dual-luciferase reporter gene system and compared. Results A lower TLR7 mRNA level was observed in subjects carrying G genotype than those carrying C genotype (t=-7.352,P<0.001). The fluorescence intensity of cells containing rs179016G was stronger than that of cells containing rs179016C. Conclusions Our data indicated that TLR7 rs179016 C genotype was associated with the lower transcription and translation of TLR7, which may contribute to an increased susceptibility to HCV infection.
