Abstract
Introduction Numerous studies suggest that the risk of tuberculosis (TB) is linked to gene polymorphisms of the interleukin-12 receptor b subunit 1 (IL12RB1), but the association between IL12RB1 polymorphisms and TB susceptibility has not been thoroughly investigated. Methods A meta-analysis was conducted based on eight case-control studies with 10,112 individuals to further explore this topic. A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpt Medica Database, and Google Scholar up until April 6th, 2023 was performed. ORs and 95% CIs were pooled using the random-effect model. The epidemiological credibility of all significant associations was assessed using the Venice criteria and false-positive report probability (FPRP) analyses. Results The IL12RB1 rs11575934 and rs401502 showed solid evidence of no significant association with TB susceptibility. However, a weak association was observed between the IL12RB1 rs375947 biomarker and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) susceptibility (OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.22, 2.21). Discussion These findings should be confirmed through larger, better-designed studies to clarify the relationship between biomarkers in IL12RB1 gene and different types of TB susceptibility.

Assessing the association between the circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines and the risk of tuberculosis: A bidirectional two-sample mendelian randomization study. INFECTION, GENETICS AND EVOLUTION : JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2023; 116:105524. [PMID: 37952650 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous observational studies have previously reported an association between inflammatory cytokines and tuberculosis (TB). However, the causal relationship between these factors remains unclear. Consequently, we conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to ascertain the causal link between levels of inflammatory cytokines and the risk of TB. METHODS Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) robustly associated with the cytokines, located in or close to their coding gene. SNP was obtained from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 8293 individuals of Finnish. TB data was obtained from the UK Biobank, which included 46,293 individuals of European ancestry (comprising 2277 TB cases and 46,056 controls). Two-sample, bi-directional MR analyses using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method as the primary analysis. Followed by comprehensive sensitivity analyses to validate the robustness of results. RESULT The study showed that the causal relationship between circulating levels of interleukin (IL)-7 and risk of TB (odds ratio [OR] = 1.001, 95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 1.000, 1.003. p = 0.047). No causal associations were observed between other influencing factors and the occurrence of TB. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that TB infection exhibited negative causal associations with macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha ([MIP-1α], OR = 0.007, 95% CI: 0.000, 0.192. p = 0.004), IL-2 (OR = 0.014, 95% CI: 0.010, 0.427. p = 0.014), interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain([IL-2rα], OR = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.001, 0.525. p = 0.019) and basic fibroblast growth factor ([bFGF], OR = 0.066, 95% CI: 0.006, 0.700. p = 0.024). CONCLUSION The study has illuminated the causal link between inflammatory cytokines and TB, thereby enhancing our comprehension of the potential mechanisms underlying TB pathogenesis. This discovery offers promising avenues for the identification of novel therapeutic targets in TB treatment. These insights may ultimately pave the way for more effective treatment approaches, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
The "Lübeck disaster", twins studies, adoptees studies, and other epidemiological observational studies have shown that host genetic factors play a significant role in determining the host susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and pathogenesis of tuberculosis. From linkage analyses to genome-wide association studies, it has been discovered that human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genes as well as non-HLA genes (such as SLC11A1, VDR, ASAP1 as well as genes encoding cytokines and pattern recognition receptors) are associated with tuberculosis susceptibility. To provide ideas for subsequent studies about risk prediction of MTB infection and the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, we review the research progress on tuberculosis susceptibility related genes in recent years, focusing on the correlation of HLA genes and non-HLA genes with the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. We also report the results of an enrichment analysis of the genes mentioned in the article. Most of these genes appear to be involved in the regulation of immune system and inflammation, and are also closely related to autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Glycosylated nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn a lot of attention in the biomedical field over the past few decades, particularly in applications like targeted drug delivery. Mannosylated NPs and mannan-binding lectins/proteins (MBL/MBP) are emerging as promising tools for delivery of drugs, medicines, and enzymes to targeted tissues and cells as nanocarriers, enhancing their therapeutic benefits while avoiding the adverse effects of the drug. The occurrence of plenty of lectin receptors and their mannan ligands on cell surfaces makes them multifaceted carriers appropriate for specific delivery of bioactive drug materials to their targeted sites. Thus, the present review describes the tethering of mannose (Man) to several nanostructures, like micelles, liposomes, and other NPs, applicable for drug delivery systems. Bioadhesion through MBL-like receptors on cells has involvements applicable to additional arenas of science, for example gene delivery, tissue engineering, biomaterials, and nanotechnology. This review also focuses on the role of various aspects of drug/antigen delivery using (i) mannosylated NPs, (ii) mannosylated lectins, (iii) amphiphilic glycopolymer NPs, and (iv) natural mannan-containing polysaccharides, with most significant applications of MBL-based NPs as multivalent scaffolds, using different strategies. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Mannosylated NPs and/or MBL/MBP are coming up as viable and versatile tools as nanocarriers to deliver drugs and enzymes precisely to their target tissues or cells. The presence of abundant number of lectin receptors and their mannan ligands on cell surfaces makes them versatile carriers suitable for the targeted delivery of bioactive drugs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the association of vitamin B12 level and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitamin B12 metabolic genes with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Chinese Han population. The plasma vitamin B12 expression level was detected using ELISA. Ten SNPs in six key genes (TCN1, TCN2, CUBN, MMACHC, FUT6, and MUT) of vitamin B12 metabolic pathway were included for genotyping by the SNPscan technique among 454 PTB patients and 467 controls. Our results found that vitamin B12 level was significantly reduced in PTB patients when compared with controls. There was no significant association between TCN1 rs526934, TCN2 rs1801198, CUBN rs7906242, rs10904861, rs1801222, MMACHC rs10789465, FUT6 rs3760776, rs3760775, MUT rs9473555, rs9381784 variants, and PTB susceptibility. TCN2 rs1801198 CC genotype, C allele was significantly associated with hypoproteinemia in PTB patients. In CUBN, rs7906242 GG genotype, G allele, rs10904861 TT genotype, and T allele were significantly related to the decreased frequency of sputum smear-positive, and rs10904861 variant affected the occurrence of drug resistance in PTB patients. In addition, the increased frequency of CUBN rs1801222 AA genotype was significantly associated with leukopenia. The decreased frequency of MUT rs9473555 CC genotype was found in the PTB patients with hypoproteinemia. However, vitamin B12 expression was not associated with the genotype distribution of above SNPs. In conclusion, vitamin B12 level was significantly decreased in PTB patients and genetic variants in vitamin B12 metabolic genes were not contributed to PTB susceptibility. Several SNPs in TCN2, CUBN, and MUT gene might associate with multiple clinical manifestations in PTB.

Abstract
The complement system is the most ancient components in the innate immunity, mainly functioning to primarily eliminate bacterial agents intravascularly. Moreover, the complement complex proteins play a role as a bridge between the systems of innate and adaptive immunity providing adequate conditions for maturation and differentiation of B- and T-lymphocytes. The complement system consists of plasma proteins and membrane receptors. Plasma proteins interact with each other via the three described cascade pathways lectin (which is most ancient phylogenetically), alternative and classical. Lectins are proteins comprising a separate superfamily of pattern-recognizing receptors able to sense molecules of oligo- and polysaccharide nature and induce their aggregation. Among all the lectins, ficolins (FCN) (common domain fibrinogen) and collectins (common domain collagen) mannose-binding lectin (MBL), hepatic and renal collectins have exert unique functions by complexing with carbohydrate components of microbial wall. Formation of a compound complex microbial wall polysaccharides + collectin/ficolin + specific mannose-binding lectin-associated serine proteases (MARP) results in the complement system activation, inflammatory reaction and bacterium elimination. Such scenario is proceeded along the lectin pathway compared to the two other pathways called classical and alternative. Examining a role of the complement system and congenital protein defects in the pathogenesis of various diseases is of topical interest because inborn deficiency of the complement components comprises at least 5% out of total primary immunodeficiency rate, whereas the aspects of their prevalence and pathogenesis remain unexplored. Relevance of investigating the complement system components for diverse populations is tremendous, taking into consideration accumulated evidence regarding an important role of the lectin pathway in viral infections. Lectins, the main proteins in the lectin pathway of the complement activation, are encoded by polymorphic genes, wherein single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) result in altered protein conformation and expression, which, in turn, affects functionality and potential to respond to a pathogen. The distribution of the lectin polymorphic gene frequencies and their haplotypes displays extremely marked population differences. According to analyzing available data, population SNP frequencies including those associated with inborn deficiencies for components of the lectin pathway have been currently scarce or unexplored. hence, here we review major lectins and their functions, their functionally significant SNPs in diverse populations and their pathogenetic importance for host defense functions.

Abstract
Purpose Polymorphisms in MBL2 may contribute to the susceptibility to tuberculosis. The aim of the present study was to determine the associations of the polymorphisms of five loci (rs1800450, rs1800451, rs7096206, rs7095891, and rs11003125) in the MBL2 gene with susceptibility to tuberculosis and specific lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis causing tuberculosis in the Uyghur population of Xinjiang, China. Methods From January 2019 to January 2020, we enrolled 170 Uyghur tuberculosis patients as the case group and 147 Uyghur staff with no clinical symptoms as the control group from four designated tuberculosis hospitals in southern Xinjiang, China. The polymorphisms of five loci in MBL2 of human were detected by sequencing. Whole-genome sequencing was applied in 68 M. tuberculosis isolates from the case group and the data were used to perform genealogy analysis. Results The distributions of allele and genotype frequencies of five loci in MBL2 varied little between the case and control groups and varied little among the groups, including those infected with different lineages of M. tuberculosis and the control (except those of rs11003125), the P values were all >0.05. The distribution of alleles of rs11003125 was statistically different between patients infected with lineages 3 and 4 M. tuberculosis (χ2=7.037, P=0.008). The C allele and CC genotype of rs11003125 were found to be protective factors against lineage 4 infection when compared to lineage 3 (ORs were 0.190 and 0.158, respectively; 95% confidence intervals were 0.053~0.690 and 0.025~0.999, respectively). Conclusion Our results suggested that human’s susceptibility to tuberculosis is affected both by the host genetic polymorphisms and the lineage of the M. tuberculosis that people were exposed to. However, due to the limitation of the sample size in the present study, larger sample size and more rigorous design should be guaranteed in future studies.

Abstract
Маннозосвязывающий лектин (mannose-binding lectin, MBL) – паттерн-распознающий острофазовый белок, относящийся к системе врожденного иммунитета и активно участвующий в элиминации широкого круга патогенных микроорганизмов посредством активации лектинового пути системы комплемента.
Значительная часть человеческой популяции имеет врожденно низкий уровень продукции и/или низкую
функциональную активность MBL вследствие носительства различных вариантов гена MBL2, что может модифицировать течение самых разнообразных инфекционных заболеваний. Частота генотипов и гаплотипов
полиморфизмов в гене MBL2 имеет значительные популяционные различия. К настоящему времени данные
относительно распределения генотипов гена MBL2 в коренных популяциях территорий Арктической зоны Российской Федерации отсутствуют. Цель исследования – изучение частоты и этнической специфики распределения аллельных вариантов полиморфизмов гена MBL2 rs11003125, rs7096206, rs7095891, rs5030737, rs1800450 и
rs1800451 и их гаплотипов в популяциях Таймырского Долгано-Ненецкого района Красноярского края (ненцы, долганы-нганасаны, русские). В настоящем исследовании нами впервые получены данные о частотах генотипов и гаплотипов гена MBL2 у коренных народностей, проживающих на территориях Арктической зоны
Российской Федерации. Частота встречаемости гаплотипа HYPA, ассоциированного с высокой концентрацией
MBL, составила 35.4 % для русских новорожденных Восточной Сибири, что соответствует частотам европейских популяций (27–33 %). У новорожденных арктических популяций частота гаплотипа HYPA была статистически значимо выше, чем у русских, и составила 64 % для ненцев и 56 % для долган-нганасан, что приближается к
значениям частот, выявленных для эскимосов и североамериканских индейцев (64–81 %). Популяции ненцев и
долган-нганасан демонстрируют существенно более низкие частоты MBL-дефицитных гаплотипов в сравнении
с европеоидами Восточной Сибири (3.9, 6.4 и 21.3 % соответственно). Мы предполагаем, что изолированные
арктические популяции исторически позже столкнулись с некоторыми внутриклеточными инфекциями (туберкулезом, лепрой) и, в отличие от европеоидных популяций, сохранили сформированную на ранних этапах
эволюции человека высокую активность лектинового пути активации комплемента.

Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) encoded by MBL2 gene is a protein with the ability to form carbohydrate complexes with microbial wall promoting their subsequent elimination. Genetically determined levels of MBL can modify the risk and clinical characteristics of many infectious diseases. The frequency of MBL2 genotypes exhibits significant population differences. The data on the distribution of MBL2 genotypes among the aborigines of the Russian Arctic territories have not yet been published. A total of 880 specimens of dried blood spots of the newborns were genotyped. The newborns represented four populations: Nenets, Dolgan-Nganasans, Mixed aboriginal population, and Russians (Caucasians, Krasnoyarsk). Six polymorphisms of the MBL2 gene were studied: rs11003125, rs7096206, rs7095891, rs5030737, rs1800450, and rs1800451. The frequency of the combined rare O allele (composed of the coding region variants rs5030737, rs1800450, and rs1800451) in the homozygous state was significantly higher in Russians: 10% vs 2% in Nenets and 1% in Dolgan-Nganosans (p < 0.001 for Russians vs other populations). The frequency of the high-producing haplotype (HYPA) was 35.4% in the Russian newborns, in keeping with European populations (27-33%); 64% for Nenets and 56% for Dolgan-Nganasans, similar to the estimates obtained for Eskimos and North Amerinds (64-81%). Our study results are in line with the hypothesis that human evolution has been moving in the direction of accumulation of the genotypes associated with low activity of the lectin complement activation pathway because of the prevalence of some intracellular infections such as tuberculosis, whereby low MBL activity may have a protective effect.
