Description

The express spectra of the peripheral blood lymphocytes of inflammatory bowel
[0001] the application requires No. the 60/687th, 331, the U.S. Provisional Patent Application of on June 6th, 2005 application and the benefit of priority of No. the 60/692nd, 295, the U.S. Provisional Patent Application of applying on June 20th, 2005; The content whole of these two parts of provisional application is hereby incorporated by.
Background of invention
Invention field
[0002] the present invention relates to from the isolating peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with inflammatory bowel (peripheral blood mononuclear cell, expression pattern analysis PBMC) and the discriminating that can distinguish the patient's who suffers from one of two class inflammatory bowels (being Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) PBMC open gene label.
Related background art
[0003] ulcerative colitis (ulcerative colitis, UC) and Crohn's disease (Crohn ' sdisease, CD) be that (inflammatory boweldisease IBD), has several population counies and Clinical symptoms to two kinds of common chronic and recurrent inflammatory bowels.But there are significant differences in UC and CD aspect tissue injury, point out these two kinds of diseases that distinct pathogenic process is arranged.What usually a kind of IBD cause of disease that proposes was a mucomembranous immune system to normal intestinal flora is not suitable for activation (Podolsky (2002) N.Engl.J.Med.347:417-29).Reply relevant saturating wall with the Thl-type, the granulomatous inflammation process is the feature of CD, and the inflammation among the UC often is confined to mucous membrane, and contains the plasmocyte (Podolsky, ibid) that seems to reply with Th2 relevant immunoglobulin,exocrine in a large number.The combination that these two kinds of diseases all are wherein E﹠H factors can determine the complex disease (Bouma and Strober (2003) Nat.Rev.Immunol.3:521-33) of individuality to the susceptibility of disease.
That [0004] uses that oligonucleotide microarray existed in the ability of the quantitative whole express spectra of rna level has been applied to study the gastrointestinal tissue of the excision that derives from CD and UC patient recently transcribes label (Lawrance etc., (2001) Hum.Mol.Genet.10:445-56; In addition referring to Warner and Dieckgraefe (2002) Inflamm.Bowel.Dis.8:140-57).These researchs identify the gene that relates to the inflammatory reaction that generally changes in IBD.In addition, these studies show that, it is fully different that the gastrointestinal tissue that is obtained by CD and UC patient transcribes group, and the genome that identifies seems to distinguish the UC tissue and CD organizes.
[0005] opposite with the gastrointestinal tissue of excision or biological biopsy, peripheral blood is the cell tissue source that obtains very easily, can be used for distinguishing UC and CD.Circulation peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMC) is responsible for monitoring the infection and the disease sign of body comprehensively.Therefore, PBMC can be used as evaluation as the alternative tissue of the disease inducible gene expression of the patient's condition or seriousness mark (about the generality summary referring to Rockett etc., (2004) Toxicol.Appl.Pharmacol.194:189-99).Maas and colleagues identify autoimmune disease (as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematous, type i diabetes and multiple sclerosis) patient's common PBMC spectrum (Maas etc., (2002) J.Immunol.169:5-9).Twine and colleagues show, under non-autoimmune disease background, derive from renal cell carcinoma (renal cell carcinoma, RCC) patient's PBMC shows with healthy volunteer's the distinct disease-related of group of transcribing and transcribes group (Twine etc., (2003) Cancer Res.63:6069-75).Mannick and colleagues have studied 7 CD patients and 5 UC patients' PBMC express spectra recently with 2400 gene cDNA microarraies, several genes (Mannick etc., (2004) Clin.Immunol.112:247-57) that present differential expression between these diseases have been described; Before, reported that other gene is conditioned (Gijsbers etc., (2004) Eur.J.Immunol.34:1992-2000 in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of cd patient on the mRNA level; Hori etc., (2002) J.Gastroenterol.Hepatol.17:1070-77; Gonsky etc., (1998) J.Immunol.160:4914-22).
[0006] although proposed the IBD that the periphery inflammatory component relates to these two kinds of forms, but also the health volunteer is not composed with the open gene of the cycle P BMC of the patient with certified IBD diagnostic result of histology (perhaps be the CD form, perhaps be the UC form) so far and be successfully used to develop the gene sorter (gene classifier) that allows the differentiation disease.Up to now, the ability of PBMC associated retroviral group diagnosis IBD and/or differentiation CD and UC is still the unknown in this area.
[0007] whether different must being enough to can be distinguished them based on the gene expression profile among the independent PBMC by the gene expression profile among the PBMC that determines CD and UC patient, and can be used for distinguishing IBD patient and health volunteer and optional PBMC-and the IBD-associated retroviral gene expression profile that is used to distinguish CD patient and UC patient by providing, the invention solves this problem.Therefore, the relative noninvasive method that the peripheral blood of patients monocyte is transcribed spectrum analysis that relates to of the present invention has diagnosis, prognosis and/or the monitoring that helps inflammatory bowel and/or multi-form IBD (being CD and UC).

Embodiment 1.2: blood sample collection and processing
[0142], gathers everyone blood (8ml), the Vacutainer cell preparation of packing into pipe (CPT in clinical place; Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) in, and deliver to the center processing laboratory according to manufacturer's suggestion all through the night and carry out PBMC and separate.All PBMC that analyze in this research are getting behind the blood and are handling in 24 hours.Before the RNA purifying, use ABX Pentra 60C+ cellanalyzer (Irvine, CA) PBMC to purifying carries out total cell count, with the absolute number and the percentage of record neutrophilic granulocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophilic granulocyte and basophilic granulocyte.1 PBMC sample of UC patient does not carry out cell counting, so this express spectra is excluded outside following A NCOVA analyzes.The expression data that when exploitation and check predictive model, comprises this patient.(Qiagen, Valencia is CA) by the total RNA of PBMC purifying to use the small-sized post scheme of RNeasy.
Embodiment 1.3: oligonucleotide arrays hybridization and data reduction
[0143] (Affymetrix, Santa Clara CA) change total RNA (2 μ g) into biotinylation cRNA according to the Affymetrix method.With mark cRNA (10 μ g) fragmentation, and prepare for foregoing hybridization (Twine etc., ibid).As the description in the Affymetrix technical manual, make biotinylation cRNA and Affymetrix HG-U133A people GENECHIP _Hybridization array.With abundance at 1: 300,000 (3ppm) mixes in each sample to 11 biotinylation control transcripts in 1: 1000 (1000ppm) scope, hybridization then is to be used as typical curve (Hill etc., (2001) Genome Biol.2 (12): research0055.1-0055.13).Use GENECHIP _MAS 5.0 softwares are estimated specific hybrid intensity, calculate the signal value of each probe groups, and make and do not have/exist judgement.Then by the reference standard curve, the signal value of each probe groups is converted into represents 10 6The frequency values of the transcript number that exists in the individual transcript (Hill etc., ibid).Estimate each transcript, if it satisfies two following non-strict standards then includes research in: be judged as ' existence ' and be at least one sample (healthy person, UC or CD) therein or be higher than frequency values 10 (10ppm).7,908 sequences satisfy these filter criterias, are used for analyzing.
Embodiment 1.4: variance analysis (ANOVA) and covariance analysis (ANCOVA)
[0144] during the average differential expression in check disease group, (analysis of covariance, ANCOVA) method is adjusted the difference that the PBMC cell type is formed to use covariance analysis.Use to the frequency of number conversion as the response measurement result, to the independent ANCOVA of each transcript operation.The ANCOVA model comprises disease group, sex, neutrophilic granulocyte percentage, monocyte percentage and these projects of eosinophilic granulocyte percentage.In ANCOVA, for each cell type, calculate the slope of describing the linear relationship between cell type percentage and the specific gene expression level, carry out the t check, to determine that whether this slope has notable difference (wherein, not having linear relationship between slope 0 expression cell type percentage and the expression level) with 0.
[0145] selection of including the cell type in the ANCOVA model in is limited by following Consideration: the 1) correlation degree between the cell type, 2) each cell type distributes between the disease type difference degree and 3) the percentage size of every kind of cell type.Covariance among the ANCOVA should be each other height correlation not.Lymphocyte percentage is strong negative correlation with monocyte percentage and neutrophilic granulocyte percentage, does not include ANCOVA in for this reason.
[0146] except overall inspection to treatment group difference and cell type regression effect, also use the sided t check to carrying out paired comparison at the adjusted disease group mean value of cell type percentage difference, the denominator of t-statistics is obtained by ANCOVA error term.At last, because being distributed in relatively between the disease group of the women and the male sex is also obviously different, so include sex in ANCOVA.
[0147] the original p value that is drawn by above-mentioned analysis is adjusted, so that a large amount of statistical test of being carried out to be described.Use multiple change filter (1.5 times) to reduce the incidence of false positive measurement result together with the conservative significance level of α=0.0001.

Embodiment 2
Embodiment 2.1: the cell of the purifying PBMC sample of health volunteer, cd patient and patients of ulcerative colitis is formed
[0155] before the expression pattern analysis part of research, detect the sedimentary cell of purifying PBMC of experimenter in whole 3 groups (health volunteer, CD patient and UC patients) and form, carry out RNA afterwards and separate.Table 10 has shown the percentage of basophilic granulocyte, eosinophilic granulocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte in the PBMC sample.
Table 10: IBD patient and the sample number of normal anosis individuality (C) and the mean percentage (%) of cells in sample type of taking from Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) form
Type CD UC C C is to IBD p value 1 CD is to UC p value 1
Sample number 59 25 42
Basophilic granulocyte (%) 0.33 0.30 1.05 0.012 0.93

Neutrophilic granulocyte (%) 14.96 10.58 5.00 <0.0001 0.035
1: use the sided t check and based on the p value of the t statistical computation of ANOVA estimation of error.
[0156] when healthier experimenter's PBMC and IBD patient's PBMC, the cell of PBMC sample is formed significantly different (p<0.05).Basophilic granulocyte and lymphocytic total percentage are significantly lower in IBD patient's PBMC, and the percentage of eosinophilic granulocyte, monocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte significantly promotes in IBD patient's PBMC.Previous research has pointed out that neutrophilic granulocyte promotes through similar purge process, as if this lifting is owing to the change of settled density, and this changes and the neutrophilic granulocyte change relevant (Schmielau and Finn (2001) Cancer Res.61:4756-60) of active state in cancer patients's peripheral blood late.It may be the disease-related activation incident that is captured by the PBMC sepn process based on CPT that the selectivity of eosinophilic granulocyte, monocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte promotes, and does not have significant difference (not produce data) because the cell of whole blood is formed between each group.
[0157] by contrast, basophilic granulocyte, eosinophilic granulocyte and monocyte ratio between CD and UC PBMC sample not remarkable different (p<0.05).When two IBD groups relatively, have only neutrophilic granulocyte significantly different (11% pair 15%, p=0.035).
Embodiment 2.2: all IBD patients are with respect to the PBMC expression level difference of normal healthy controls
[0158] forms the incoherent disease related gene of obvious difference for differentiating, use covariance analysis (ANCOVA) to differentiate the transcript of differential expression, consider the difference that cell is formed between the PBMC sample simultaneously with cell.To 7908 transcript operation ANCOVA that express horizon-lai filters by standard, the percentage of including eosinophilic granulocyte, monocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte in is as the co-variation amount.
[0159] select which kind of cell type to include in partly by following true decision: the co-variation amount among the ANCOVA is height correlation not each other.Lymphocyte percentage and monocyte percentage and the strong negative correlation of neutrophilic granulocyte percentage are not included among the ANCOVA for this reason.To every kind of cell type, calculate the slope of describing the linear relationship between cell type percentage and the specific gene expression level, and carry out t check, whether notable difference (wherein, not having linear relationship between slope 0 expression cell type percentage and the expression level) is arranged to determine slope with 0.At last, because being distributed in relatively between the disease group of the women and the male sex is also obviously different,, appear as sex-specific rather than the transcript relevant with the patient's condition with evaluation so include sex in ANCOVA.
[0160] analyzes by ANCOVA, the level of 220 transcripts has the difference above 1.5 times between Crohn's disease and healthy PBMC, and in paired comparison, has a unadjusted p value less than 0.0001 based on ANCOVA, use as above identical standard, there were significant differences between UC and healthy PBMC for the level of 120 transcripts.These sequences have 45 to compare with health level in UC and the different expression of CD PBMC mean deviation, and these common PBMC-and IBD-associated retroviral thing change (going up table 1) with equidirectional in these two kinds of diseases.
[0161] several groups of genes of remainder is used a kind of other strainer, to identify the only PBMC transcript of variant expression in a kind of illness.In 220 relevant transcripts of CD (〉=1.5 times of variations, p<0.0001), always have 67 sequences and significantly change (p>0.05) in to the comparison of healthy person at UC PBMC, it is specific therefore to be counted as CD.67 CD specificity PBMC sequences, promptly the CD biomarker is listed in above table 2.In the relevant transcript of 120 UC (〉=1.5 times of variations, p<0.0001), always have 22 sequences and significantly change (p>0.05) in to the comparison of healthy person at CDPBMC, it is specific therefore to be counted as UC.22 UC specificity PBMC sequences, promptly the UC biomarker is listed in above table 3.
[0162] in Figure 1A, summed up the classical gene approach of maximum likelihood with remarkable overexpression at every kind of contrast.In this is analyzed, relate to the remarkable overexpression CD of the transcript gene label of the classical classification of prostaglandin metabolism, and coding relates to the proteic transcript of the classical classification of apoptosis and B cell signalling and seems overexpression UC gene label.Figure 1B has summed up the difference in functionality classification that comprises with respect to normal healthy controls transcript of differential expression in Crohn's disease.The major function classification that is raised in CD PBMC comprises enzyme, transcriptional and the transmembrane receptor that participates in prostaglandin metabolism, comprises several integrin isotypes.At last, Fig. 1 C has summed up the overexpression that enriches of constant region for immunoglobulin, and this overexpression is that the UCPBMC gene expression label is distinctive.
Embodiment 2.3: differentiate the gene label of distinguishing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
[0163] because the major objective of this research is to determine gene expression pattern among CD and UC patient's the PBMC different must being enough to can be based on the classification of the gene expression profile among the independent PBMC, so the gene expression label between these two kinds of diseases is directly contrasted.The ANCOVA that CD composes UC PBMC relatively identifies 49 transcripts and have significant difference level (〉=1.5 times of differences, p<0.0001) between CD and UC patient's PBMC.These CdvUC biomarkers are listed in above table 4.
[0164], use supervision classification prediction procedure to differentiate the minimal information sequence set that to carry out the disease specific classification based on the ANCOVA result of the direct correlated significant difference of indicating CD and UC PBMC gene label.Be the training set formed by 44 CD and 22 UC spectrums with IBD patient's PBMC sample randomization and compose the test sets of forming by 15 CD and 6 UC.Increase big or small gene sorter to one group and measured relative resultnat accuracy, CD nicety of grading and UC nicety of grading (Fig. 2 A).As shown in Fig. 2 A, according to the evaluation of 4 times of cross validations, one group that is made up of two gene sorters (being NGAL 2 and IgHg3) provides 64% tolerance range (Fig. 2 A).According to the evaluation (Fig. 2 A) of 4 times of cross validations of training set, the minimum predictive model with the highest overall accuracy (91%) of distinguishing UC and CD PBMC spectrum is 14-sequence (12-gene) sorter (above table 5).According to the evaluation of staying a cross validation, 14-sequence sorter has 94% overall accuracy (not produce data).Gene sorter in the table 5 is arranged with the descending order of signal to noise ratio; Promptly in cd patient, raised and be listed in the classification biomarker of table 5, NGAL 2 (the 1st sorter gene) has highest signal to noise ratio, integrin β-3 (the 7th sorter gene) has lowest signal-to-noise, in patients of ulcerative colitis, raised and be listed in the classification biomarker of table 5, IgHg1 (the 8th sorter gene) has highest signal to noise ratio, and IgKc (the 14th sorter gene) has lowest signal-to-noise.The size that increases set of classifiers does not increase to tolerance range this more than level (Fig. 2 A).This 12-gene sorter is used for that the classification member is distributed to 14 CD spectrums and 6 UC of keeping to test set and composes (Fig. 2 B).Use this predictive model, all samples in the test set all as the situation of clinical diagnosis quilt correctly classify.Use in every group of this sorter and have only the degree of confidence of 1 individuality to be lower than 0.2, show with high relatively degree of confidence and make these judgements by weighted voting algorithm.These results show that the potential practicality of use PBMC express spectra helps the molecular diagnosis of CD and UC.
Embodiment 2.4: quantitatively reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) confirms the microarray observed result in real time
[0165] no matter by the set of classifiers tolerance range of the expression level data centralization that obtains in the microarray analysis based on the distribution of nearest-neighbor classification, the average multiple of transcript changes relatively low in the CD/UC sorter.Therefore, carry out quantitative PCR in real time (Q-PCR), with the relative expression who confirms in this research CD and UC sample to be observed by the Affymetrix microarray technology.Use 4 independent house-keeping genes that are used for the stdn target gene: B2M (β 2M), beta-actin, GAPDH and 18S ribosome-RNA(rRNA) (18S).All CD in the research use identical reverse transcription mixture and method to change cDNA into UC RNA sample.The average multiple that uses B2M to calculate by microarray and PCR in real time changes relatively is shown in Fig. 3, under each situation as the stdn thing in using 4 house-keeping genes, the relative multiple of whole 12 branch genoids changes very consistent (table 11).

[0169] differentiate that classification is the most successful to data set MB, irrelevant with the method for using, point out the performance of every kind of method and each data set relevant (table 13) of analysis.Parameter is similar with distribution free k=10 nearest-neighbor method effect, but on an average these two kinds than distribution free k=3 nearest-neighbor method more successful (table 13).
[0170] goes out system's difference of performance 3 data centralized displaying with the standardized classification biomarker of 18S.18S is better than other house-keeping gene to a certain extent; Analysis with the standardized classification biomarker of 18S has higher value and less mutability (table 13) all the time aspect tolerance range, sensitivity and the specificity.
[0171], so the expression level with the standardized classification biomarker of 18S is only carried out logic analysis because 18S seems to be better than the house-keeping gene of other test.At the full model of logic analysis, backward, forward or progressively select in the back-and-forth method to almost not influence (not produce data) of classification.For data set MB and data set 1, the full model method is finished to such an extent that be equal to or is better than other simplifying model (not produce data).With regard to data set 2, select with the significance level that is set at p=0.05 by method forward or progressively, adopt the model of 18S standardized 2 or 3 kind of classification biomarker (comprise MLH3 and IgKC these two) to have classification prediction (not produce data) preferably.This possibility of result is owing to the following fact: the most of biomarker with atypia expression level is included in the test set of data set 2, and forward or the model of progressively selecting do not contain the biomarker of those unconventionality expressions.Being included in this variation in the biomarker, can also to be interpreted as what full model be not best actuating logic method, and why carry out discriminatory analysis with the model that comprises whole 12 sorters and produce relatively poor classification.Tolerance range, sensitivity and the specificity of the different choice method of logic analysis shows that the Different Logic system of selection similarly finishes (not produce data).For example, if the test set that a kind of method is compared data centralization to training set demonstrates better classification, vice versa, and then the result with whole 3 kinds of other methods demonstrates identical characteristic.
[0172] then, the classification that will be undertaken by the logic analysis of using full model compares with the classification that linear discriminant analysis by the operation parameter method carries out.Although observe the data set difference between these two kinds of methods, the classification prediction is all accurately carried out in these two kinds of analyses.Use data set MB, data set 1 and data set 2 carry out the tolerance range of classification prediction generating 0.833-0.917, the specificity (table 14) of the sensitivity of 0.786-1.000 and 0.667-1.000.But, when 20 data sets relatively between these two kinds of methods as if variant (Fig. 4).Logic analysis with full model is finished better to cross validation, and discriminatory analysis is done better to test set classification.

Discuss
[0173] focus of this research is that the versatility and the specificity of attempting the gene expression pattern among definite (1) PBMC relevant with CD and UC expressed the molecular diagnosis whether label can help disease with (2) disease specific.Compare with health volunteer's express spectra, have the dozens of gene to seem differential expression in CD and UC patient's the express spectra.Many coding nucleoprotein are arranged, for example transcriptional, and most of the downward modulation in these genes.Example comprises NFKB2, RNA-binding factor CUGBP1 and CUGBP2, COPEB and ELK3.UC and CD common imbalance inflammatory process may be the active results that regulate of these transcriptional.
The gene of the high expression level that [0174] usually is raised in these two kinds of inflammatory bowels is proteinase inhibitor SERPINB2 (also being called PAI, Type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor, II type).Reported the plasminogen activator level (deBruin etc., (1988) Thromb.Haemost.60:262-66) that increases in IBD patient's mucous membrane focus, the PAI-1 of increase is found in IBD patient's blood plasma.Although different with PAI-1, PAI-2 and u-PA have enzyme spcificity, and with the total enzyme spcificity of t-TA than low degree, in the rheumatoid arthritis synovia, reported the PAI-2 level (Kruithof etc., (1995) Blood 86:4007-24) that promotes.These results suggest, the change of the component of haemolysis fibre and condensed system may impel the thromboembolic complication risk to increase, and may facilitate visible colitis and hemorrhage (de Jong etc., (1989) Gut 30:188-94) in IBD patient.Also do not report the effect of PAI-2 in IBD, but this research prompting, the PAI-2RNA level and the disease-related that promote among the PBMC.
[0175] transcript of multiple functional category seems to be raised by specificity in CD patient's PBMC, comprises prostaglandin metabolism enzyme, chemokine and transcriptional.CD specificity PBMC gene profile shows unconspicuous short scorching gene expression profile in UC specificity PBMC gene profile.Participate in the metabolic gene of Prostaglandins and Leukotrienes, for example Arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) and prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1, cyclo-oxygenase 1), in CD patient's PBMC, significantly increase, and prostaglandin d 2 synthase (PTGDS) descends.Expection should cause arachidonic acid to increase to the transformation of selective prostaglandins to these effects of prostaglandin(PG) route of synthesis.Although the prostaglandin(PG) content in IBD patient's focus promotes (Schmidt etc., (1996) Hepatogastroenterology 43:1508-12), evidence prompting recently, in fact at least a prostaglandin(PG) (PGE 2) level in CD patient's monocyte, descend (Trebble etc., (2004) Clin.Nutr.23:647-55).Whether the relative lifting of the transcript of the not clear arachidonic acid metabolism enzyme of encoding in CD patient's PBMC is relevant with this observations on function, but PGE 2Being turned out to be by file is that a kind of origin comes from the important instrumentality of cytokine (Barrera etc., (1996) J.Cell.Physiol 166:130-37) that GI T lymphocyte discharges.The rise of the PG pathways metabolism in the cycle P BMC of cd patient may be illustrated in this disease/go out the change of the cell of intestinal lamina propria.
[0176] several chemokines ( C-X-C part 4 and 7, platelet factor 4 variant 1) are raised in CD.Generally speaking, in organizing, the CD of this paper PBMC differentiated to be that transcript that raises and those transcripts that are reported as rise in 7 CD patients of Mannick and colleague (Mannick etc., ibid) analysis almost do not have overlapping astoundingly.Do not know that this is whether bigger owing to patient's number of this paper research number gene bigger, inquiry, between unnamed gene difference or these research some obscure factor.But, Mannick and colleague report in CD by transcript coding transforming growth factor (the TGF)-beta induced type transcript (Mannick etc., ibid) of strong rise.At this, the beta induced type transcript of a kind of different TGF-TSC-22 is also differentiated to be raised in CD PBMC.As if these observationss show that the rise of TGF-signal transduction is obvious in CD PBMC.The composing type of this approach promotes and can cause the downward modulation of Smad-dependent pathway, and this can cause the activity inhibited of TGF-β subsequently, with the termination immunne response, and plays cause of disease effect (Mannick etc., ibid) again in the CD morbidity.
[0177] a part of Crohn's disease relative disease label gene profile might be platelet-derived.Nearest evidence shows that thrombocyte can participate in chronic intestinal inflammations (Danese etc., (2004) Am.J.Gastroenterol.99:938-45), this research in thrombocyte with from the isolating PBMC of CD patient by copurification to higher degree (not produce data).Therefore, the copurification platelet levels that the detected result of platelet factor 4 and platelet factor 4 variant 1 promotes in may be owing to isolating PBMC in CD genes involved label.But, other transcript (Gnatenko etc. in preceding 10 non-plastosome transcripts of in thrombocyte, reporting, (2003) Blood 101:2285-93) do not appear in the CD associated retroviral thing tabulation of this paper, pointing out these akaryotic levels is not unique source of these transcripts.All transcripts in before related with the thrombocyte CD disease label are also expressed (not produce data) with conspicuous level in the T of purifying cell, B cell and/or monocyte, the previous transcript relevant with thrombocyte of prompting can be derived from the monocyte that separates and carry out expression pattern analysis in this research.
[0178] UC specific gene group becomes dominance by the overexpression immunoglobulin coding sequence, makes the people associate observed active IgG plasmocyte component (Farrell etc., (2002) Lancet 359:331-40) in UC patient.This result is with consistent at the research of B-cell receptor gene purposes, and this research has shown that the lymphocyte infiltration in the UC mucous membrane is the periphery source, rather than (Dunn-Walters etc., (1999) the Gut 44:382-86 in mucous membrane source; Thoree etc., (2002) Gut 51:44-50).IgG1 and IgG4 antibody have superiority in UC, and IgG2 antibody increases (Kett and Brandtzaeg (1987) Gut 28:1013-21) in CD.Studied the popular of IgG1 type recently, shown that it is that UC is specific, (Furrie etc., (2004) Gut 53:91-98) kept in the mucous membrane bacterium opsonization that generation is bigger in UC and the feedforward of polymorphonuclear leukocyte respiratory burst.In this research, in UC PBMC, annotated for constant region for immunoglobulin γ 3 (IgHG3) by wherein a kind of transcript of the most remarkable lifting.(promptly sharing 100% Nucleotide identity according to BLAST) mapped to the several sequences that belong to immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region γ 1 (G1m mark) in the zone that this IgHG3 eligible comprises on the Affymetrix chip in fact, and differentiated for the mark of inflammation UC gastrointestinal epithelial (Warner and Dieckgraefe, ibid; Lawrance etc., ibid).The analysis of the IgHG3 transcript expression level in individual patient peripheral blood spectrum can be used as the distinctiveness biomarker (not produce data) between UC and the CD.But, these results also with UC patient in serum IgG 1 level with respect to the previous observations consistent (Gouni-Berthold etc., (1999) Hepatogastroenterology 46:1720-23) of the remarkable increase of 1 level of the serum IgG among the CD patient.
[0179] quite a few patient who suffers from inflammatory bowel can not classify according to current methods, constitutes " determining type IBD " case (Winther etc., (1998) Drugs Today (Bare) .34:935-42; Bentley etc., (2002) J.Clin.Pathol55:955-60; Guindi and Riddell (2004) J.Clin.Pathol.57:1233-44).Therefore, this research main purpose is to determine PBMC spectrum among UC and the CD patient different must being enough to can be with these classifications of diseases.The result of classification forecast analysis shows that the gene label among the PBMC can accurately be distinguished UC and CD sample.Transcriptional differences is not to form because of cell, seems quite similar because the cell of patient's PBMC is formed.
[0180] although should carry out preceding checking in than large group, the disease specific pattern that the present invention differentiates can provide the molecular diagnosis basis of UC and CD, and can help to be categorized as the diagnosis that trouble is not determined the patient of type IBD.Very possiblely be, the Th1 of CD of Ti Chuing and UC and Th2 character are to cause the major cause of difference in this research respectively, the similar label of those labels that other inflammatory diseases based on Th1 and Th2 may have and CD and UC are differentiated.However, as if the PBMC spectrum that this paper differentiates still has clinical application in IBD, because described gene sorter can distinguish that these often are difficult to the closely-related disease of distinguishing and can't distinguishing sometimes.
Originally studies show that [0181] with regard to IBD, transcribing in circulating monocytic cell, T cell and the B cell composed the sensitivity monitoring thing that can be used as the biological physiology state.Because these cells come and go in various tissues and move, so the cell response integral part at microenvironment is a responsive transcription; This reaction can be quantitative by analyzing express spectra.Expression pattern can reflect at the primary of disease physiopathology or the disease mechanisms of secondary response.Because PBMC runs through body transportation, so it can be used as the alternative monitoring thing that easily obtains that is difficult for the tissue measured and system (for example IBD involve tissue and system).
