| Abstract: | Background:Strains of the Beijing genotype ofMycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) are reportedly associated with thevirulence of tuberculosis (TB) infection, unfavorable outcomes of anti-TB treatment, and the global TB pandemic.Rv0679c, a hypothetical membrane protein related to host cell invasion, has a Beijing genotype-specific mutation atresidue 142 (Asn142Lys). Antigenicity differences between Rv0679c-Asn142 (N-type) and Rv0679c-Lys142 (K-type)have been previously observed in mice antigen-antibody responses. However, the immune response to Rv0679c inhumans remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anti-Rv0679c immune response in TB patientsfrom the endemic and non-endemic regions of the Beijing MTB genotype.Methods:We analyzed the Rv0679c-specific antibody responses in 84 subjects from the endemic region of the Beijinggenotype MTB in China, including 45 pulmonary TB patients (C-PTB) and 39 healthy controls (C-HC), and 81 subjectsfrom the Philippines (the endemic region of the non-Beijing genotype), including 51 pulmonary TB patients (P-PTB)and 30 healthy controls (P-HC). Anti-tuberculous-glycolipid (TBGL) antigen was used as the control antibody.Results:TBGL IgG titers were higher in both C-PTB and P-PTB than those in their corresponding HC (C-PTB median 4.2,P-PTB median 11.2; C-PTB vs. P-PTB,p> 0.05), suggesting immune response comparability in PTB from two differentcountries. C-PTB showed a higher response compared to C-HC for anti-K-type IgG (53.3%) than anti-N-type IgG (6.67%);this response was not observed in P-PTB (both N-type and K-type 9.80%).Conclusion:Dimorphic antigen Rv0679c was found to be associated with distinct immune response patterns,indicating the role of Beijing/non-Beijing genotype of MTB in stimulating specific responses in TB patients from theendemic region of Beijing MTB. Meanwhile, reactions to Rv0679c in patients and HC from non-endemic regions of theBeijing MTB may be caused by the response to the common epitope of Rv0679c N/K-type. |
