摘要:

目的: 运用孟德尔随机化(mendelian randomization,MR)分析评估免疫细胞与肺结核之间的因果关系,为肺结核病疫苗研制,以及结核病的防治和预后评估提供新思路。方法: 利用大样本全基因关联研究(genome-wide association studies,GWAS)汇总数据,选择肺结核相关遗传位点作为工具变量,运用Egger回归法、加权中位数法、逆方差加权法、简单模式法、加权模式法等5种方法进行两样本MR分析。通过OR(95%CI)值评估免疫细胞和肺结核间因果关系,运用Cochran’s Q评估异质性、运用MR-多效残差及离群值与MR-Egger回归分析方法进行多效性评估,同时使用留一法评估结果的稳定性。结果: 逆方差加权法分析得出肺结核发病风险与非同型转换记忆B细胞(β=-0.257,OR=0.773,95%CI:0.607~0.985,P=0.037)、IgD+CD38- B细胞表面CD19水平(β=-0.493,OR=0.610,95%CI:0.379~0.982,P=0.042)、CD39+分泌型CD4+调节性T细胞比例(β=0.425,OR=1.532,95%CI:1.099~2.135,P=0.012)、非调节性CD45RA-CD4T细胞表面CD25水平(β=-0.719,OR=0.487,95%CI:0.262~0.904,P=0.023)、CD33高表达HLA-DR+细胞表面CD45水平(β=-0.364,OR=0.695,95%CI:0.508~0.949,P=0.022)、CD33-HLA-DR+细胞表面HLA-DR水平(β=0.153,OR=1.166,95%CI:1.024~1.323,P=0.020)、CD14-CD16-细胞表面HLA-DR水平(β=0.134,OR=1.144,95%CI:1.006~1.300,P=0.040)、单核细胞中的程序性细胞死亡配体1(β=0.379,OR=1.462,95%CI:1.056~2.026,P=0.022)有较强关联性。通过异质性检验及多效性检验得出无异质性也无明显多效性的结果。结论: 非同型转换记忆B细胞、IgD+CD38- B细胞表面CD19水平、非调节性CD45RA-CD4T细胞表面CD25水平、CD33高表达HLA-DR+细胞表面CD45水平这4种免疫细胞表型水平的升高可能降低肺结核发病风险;CD39+分泌型CD4+调节性T细胞比例、CD33-HLA-DR+细胞表面HLA-DR水平、单核细胞中的程序性细胞死亡配体1、CD14-CD16-细胞表面HLA-DR水平这4种免疫细胞表型水平的升高可能增加肺结核发病风险。

Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the causal relationship between immune cells and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) using Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis. This approach provides novel insights into vaccine development, TB prevention strategies, and prognosis evaluation. Methods: Summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were utilized, with genetic loci related to pulmonary TB selected as instrumental variables. Five methods were applied for two-sample MR analysis: MR-Egger regression, weighted median, inverse variance weighted, simple mode, and weighted mode. The causal relationship between immune cells and pulmonary TB was assessed using odds ratios (OR, 95%CI). Heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran’s Q, and pleiotropy was examined through the MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) test and MR-Egger regression. The leave-one-out method was employed to verify the stability of the results. Results: The inverse variance weighted analysis revealed a strong association between pulmonary TB risk and Unsw mem %B cell (β=-0.257, OR=0.773, 95%CI: 0.607 to 0.985, P=0.037), CD19 on IgD+CD38- (β=-0.493, OR=0.610, 95%CI: 0.379 to 0.982, P=0.042), CD39+ secreting Treg %CD4 Treg (β=0.425, OR=1.532, 95%CI: 1.099 to 2.135, P=0.012), CD25 on CD45RA-CD4 not Treg (β=-0.719, OR=0.487, 95%CI: 0.262 to 0.904, P=0.023), CD45 on CD33br HLA-DR+ (β=-0.364, OR=0.695, 95%CI: 0.508 to 0.949, P=0.022), HLA-DR on CD33-HLA-DR+ (β=0.153, OR=1.166, 95%CI: 1.024 to 1.323, P=0.020), HLA-DR on CD14-CD16- (β=0.134, OR=1.144, 95%CI: 1.006 to 1.300, P=0.040), and PDL-1 on monocyte (β=0.379, OR=1.462, 95%CI: 1.056 to 2.026, P=0.022). No significant heterogeneity or pleiotropy was found. Conclusion: Elevated levels of four immune cell phenotypes—unswitched memory B cells, CD19 on IgD+CD38- cells, CD25 on CD45RA-CD4 non-Treg cells, and CD45 on CD33bright HLA-DR+ cells—may be associated with a reduced risk of developing tuberculosis. In contrast, increased levels of four other immune cell phenotypes—CD39+ secreting regulatory T cells (%CD4 Treg), HLA-DR on CD33-HLA-DR+ cells, PDL-1 on monocytes, and HLA-DR on CD14-CD16- cells—may be linked to an elevated risk of tuberculosis.
