TBX21, the Master regulator of the type 1 immune response, overexpresses in the leukocytes of peripheral blood in patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Background: The involvement of the peripheral immune system in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases has recently been emphasized. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have recently identified several candidate immune genes linked to development of both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and depression. TBX21 (T-bet) which drives the Th1 immune response, is linked to the major depressive disorder (MDD) phenotype. This study investigated the association between the TBX21 immune gene and the possibility of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) incidence in 194 LOAD and 200 control subjects using the real-time qPCR and the Tetra-ARMS-PCR methods. We also used an in silico approach to analyze the potential effects imparted by TBX21 rs17244587 and rs41515744 polymorphisms in LOAD pathogenesis.
Results: We found that the TBX21 "immune gene" had significantly elevated mRNA expression levels in the leukocytes of peripheral blood in patients with LOAD (P < 0.0001). We also found an upward trend in TBX21 expression with increasing age in LOAD patients compared to the control group (P < 0.05; CI = 95%). We noticed that the TT genotype of rs41515744 plays a protective role in LOAD incidence, as it attenuates the expression of TBX21 in the control group. We observed that the dominant model of rs41515744 represented a substantial association with LOAD (P = 0.019).
Conclusions: Our results show for the first time the likely impact of the TBX21 (T-bet) immune gene in LOAD development and that the elevated TBX21 mRNAs in the WBCs of LOAD patients may represent a new easy diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease.
期刊介绍:
Immunity & Ageing is a specialist open access journal that was first published in 2004. The journal focuses on the impact of ageing on immune systems, the influence of aged immune systems on organismal well-being and longevity, age-associated diseases with immune etiology, and potential immune interventions to increase health span. All articles published in Immunity & Ageing are indexed in the following databases: Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS, CAS, Citebase, DOAJ, Embase, Google Scholar, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, OAIster, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Citation Index Expanded, SCImago, Scopus, SOCOLAR, and Zetoc.
