摘要: 【摘要】 目的 探讨miR-17和miR-20a在系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者CD4+ T细胞中的表达及与疾病活动的相关性。 方法 应用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测SLE患者活动组17例、缓解组13例及健康对照组18例外周血CD4+ T细胞中miR-17和miR-20a的表达水平,并与SLE患者临床指标进行相关性分析。 结果 SLE患者组30例miR-17的表达水平(0.24 ± 0.08)显著高于健康对照组(0.15 ± 0.06),两组比较,P < 0.05;两组miR-20a的表达水平分别为0.19 ± 0.10和0.12 ± 0.09,两组比较,P < 0.05。SLE活动组、缓解组与健康对照组miR-17表达水平分别为0.27 ± 0.07、0.20 ± 0.05、0.16 ± 0.08,活动组高于缓解组(P < 0.05)和健康对照组(P < 0.05);miR-20a表达水平三组分别为0.22 ± 0.10、0.15 ± 0.07、0.13 ± 0.09,活动组高于缓解组(P < 0.05)和健康对照组(P < 0.05);缓解组miR-17和miR-20a的表达水平与健康对照组比较差异均无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。SLE患者组miR-17、miR-20a的表达与SLE活动指数(SLEDAI)均呈正相关(r = 0.45,P < 0.05和r = 0.38,P < 0.05),与抗dsDNA抗体滴度呈正相关(r = 0.54,P < 0.01和r = 0.46,P < 0.01),而与C3水平呈负相关(r = -0.43,P < 0.05和r = -0.42,P < 0.05)。 结论 SLE患者外周血CD4+ T细胞中miR-17、miR-20a表达上调,且miR-17、miR-20a表达水平与SLE病情活动相关。

Methods CD4+ T cells were isolated from the venous blood of 30 patients with SLE and 18 healthy human controls. RNA was extracted from the CD4+ T cells, and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to determine the expression levels of miR-17 and miR-20a. The intergroup comparison of miR-17 and miR-20a expression levels was done using t test and Mann-Whitney test, and the correlations of miR-17 and miR-20a expressions with clinical parameters were assessed using Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients. Results The patients with SLE showed increased expression levels (2-△Ct) of miR-17 and miR-20a compared with the healthy controls (0.24 ± 0.08 vs. 0.15 ± 0.06 for miR-17, 0.19 ± 0.10 vs. 0.12 ± 0.09 for miR-20a, both P < 0.05). The miR-17 and miR-20a expression levels were also significantly higher in patients with active SLE than in those with inactive SLE and the healthy controls (0.27 ± 0.07 vs. 0.20 ± 0.05 and 0.16 ± 0.08 for miR-17, 0.22 ± 0.10 vs. 0.15 ± 0.07 and 0.13 ± 0.09 for miR-20a, all P < 0.05), but similar between the patients with inactive SLE and healthy controls (both P > 0.05). The expression levels of both miR-17 and miR-20a were positively correlated with SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) (r = 0.45, 0.38, respectively, both P < 0.05) and anti-dsDNA antibody level (r = 0.54, 0.46, respectively, both P < 0.05), but negatively correlated with serum C3 levels (r = -0.43, -0.42, respectively, both P < 0.05). Conclusions The expressions of miR-17 and miR-20a are increased in CD4+ T cells from patients with SLE, and correlated with the disease activity in SLE.
