Development of gene expression signatures for latent and clinical tuberculosis (TB)

ABSTRACT: For further identify the differentiation between latent and clinical tuberculosis (TB), we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to study genes with significant expression change in peripheral CD4+T cells between healthy control, latent tuberculosis (LTB) and clinical tuberculosis (TB). Our experiment included 4 groups: healthy donor (HD), latent TB1 (LTB1) with low IFN-gamma release level, latent TB2 (LTB2) with high IFN-gamma release level, and tuberculosis (TB) with high IFN-gamma release level. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected, from which CD4+T cells were isolated. Total RNA of each individuals of each group was extracted from peripheral CD4+T cells. One ?g of RNA mixture, pooled equivalently by each individual total RNA of each group, was administrated microarray test. Compared with HD, through analyzing enriched-Gene Ontology (GO) terms and KEGG pathways of each group, we found peripheral CD4+T cells might had different ability for mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in LTB1, LTB2 and TB. Finally we detected that TNFSF13/APRIL and TNFSF13B/BAFF was significant up-regulation in both CD4+T cells and serum of TB by real time PCR and ELISA, respectively. Peripheral CD4+ T cells were purified by positive selection using magnetic beads (BD IMagTM anti-human CD4 Particles-DM, BD Biosciences). Total RNA was extracted from CD4+ T cells (CD4-RNA) of LTB1, LTB2 and TB patients and healthy controls by RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN).Then, RNA quality was checked and mixed with an equal quantity of each individual. The number of included-individuals in each group was 11 for HD, 11 for LTB1, 12 for LTB2 and 11 for TB.
