  • Clinical study of MUC5B and TOLLIP gene polymorphisms in evaluating the prognosis of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

    ObjectiveTo understand the genetic polymorphisms of MUC5B and TOLLIP in Chinese patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to explore whether gene polymorphism variation in Chinese IPF patients can be used as a genetic biomarker for accurate treatment and prognosis judgment.MethodsA total of one hundred and twenty-six patients with IPF were enrolled in this study. The baseline characteristics, total lung capacity (TLC), forced vital capacity (FVC), carbon monoxide diffusion function (DLCO), imaging changes of the patients were followed up. The levels of serum sputum glycosylated antigen-6 (Krebs Von den Lungen-6, KL-6) and B lymphocyte chemotactic factor C-X-C motif chemokine 13 (CXCL13) were detected by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The gene MUC5B rs35705950 and TOLLIP rs5743890, rs5743894 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) were determined by polymerase chain reaction.ResultsOne hundred and twenty-six patients with IPF were found with AA type by TOLLIP rs5743890 and rs5743894 SNP, accounting for 100.0%; MUC5B rs35705950 SNP was expressed as 116 patients (92.1%) with GG type, and 10 patients (7.9%) with GT type, no TT patients were detected. There was no significant difference in clinical characteristics between the two groups in age and non-smokers (P>0.05). Compared with group G, annual decrease of lung function (FVC, DLCO, and TLC), serum biomarkers (KL-6 and CXCL13), annual increase of reticular and honeycombing lesions, and mortality were significantly lower in group T (P<0.05). The median survival time of IPF patients carrying the MUC5B SNP rs35705950 minor allele (gene phenotype GT) heterozygous was significantly higher than that of homozygous IPF patients with a genetic phenotype of GG.ConclusionsThere are genetic polymorphisms in Chinese patients with IPF. MUC5B rs35705950 and TOLLIP rs5743890, rs5743894 gene subtypes have low mutation rates in the cohort. Compared with homozygous patients of MUC5B SNP rs35705950, heterozygous patients have smaller changes in lung function and radiological image, lower levels of serum KL-6 and CXCL13, and better prognosis.
