ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether expression quantity of HLA-B27 and its subtypes associated with incidence of AS,the gene expression of HLA-B27 and its subtypes were detected in patients with AS.Methods 120 cases patients sus-pected with AS and 50 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study.Main demographic and clinical characteristics of the sub-jects were collected.Meanwhile total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood and real time RT-PCR was used to measure the quantitative expression of HLA-B27 gene.Besides RT-PCR,sequence-based typing (SBT)method was used to confirm the HLA-B27 subtype.All experimental data were analyzed by SPSS17.0 software and P values <0.05 were considered to be significant.Results Firstly,there were 55 subjects were finally diagnosed as AS patients among the 120 patients suspec-ted with AS.There were 53 subjects whose HLA-B27 was positive (96.36%)in 55 patients with AS.It showed that there was a correlation between BASDAI and expression quantity of HLA-B27 gene (r=0.845,P =0.000).Five subtypes were found and which were HLA-B27∶04 subtype (29/53,54.72%),HLA-B27:05 subtype (20/53,37.74%),HLA-B27 ∶02 subtype (2/53,3.77%),HLA-B27∶03 subtype (1/53,1.89%)and HLA-B27∶07 subtype (1/53,1.89%),respectively. Among the 50 healthy subjects,there were only one kind of subtype (2/50,4%),which was HLA-B27∶04.There were no statistical difference in the age (t=0.711,P =0.480),sex (χ2 =0.880,P =0.348),family history (χ2 =0.011,P =0.916) and treatment (χ2 =0.113,P =0.736)between the HLA-B27∶04 and HLA-B27∶05 subtypes.Conclusion HLA-B27∶04 and HLA-B27∶05 were primary subtypes in AS patients which HLA-B27 positive.There was a correlation between gene expression quantity of HLA-B27 and AS disease activity index.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare PCR-SBT to IMS-ELISA in the HLA-B27 detection in the ankylosing spondylitis (AS)pa-tients.Methods Simultaneously,PCR-SBT and IMS-ELISA were used to detect the HLA-B27 expression in peripheral blood samples which were suspected patients with AS from 120 cases.Chisquare test of paired design and the area under curve of receiver operating characteristics of SPSS17.0 software were used to evaluate the value of PCR-SBT and IMS-ELISA in HLA-B27 detection of AS patients.Results Among 120 cases of suspected patients with AS,the positive rates of HLA-B27 detected by PCR-SBT and IMS-ELISA were 45.83%(55/120)and 37.50% (45/120),respectively.There was statistical difference between the two methods in the HLA-B27 detection (χ2 =59.455,P =0.000).The sensibility and spe-cificity of PCR-SBT were 96.36% and 96.92%,respectively.While the sensibility and the specificity of IMS-ELISA were 69.09% and 89.23%,respectively.Area under the curve of two methods were 0.966 and 0.792,respectively.Conclusion In comparison with IMS-ELISA,the sensibility and the specificity of PCR-SBT in HLA-B27 detection were higher in AS diag-nosis,that is to say,PCR-SBT is better in HLA-B27 detection and AS diagnosis.
