Description

비결핵 항산균 감염여부 진단을 위한 정보제공방법 및 진단용 키트{Information providing method for diagnosing non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection, and diagnostic kit using the same}Information providing method for diagnosing non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection, and diagnostic kit using the same}

본 발명은 비결핵 항산균 폐질환 의심 환자가 비결핵 항산균에 의한 감염 질환인지를 신속하게 확인하기 위한 정보제공방법과 진단용 키트에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for providing information and a diagnostic kit for quickly confirming whether a patient suspected of having non-tuberculous acid-fast bacterial lung disease has an infectious disease caused by non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria.

비결핵 항산균(non-tuberculous mycobacteria; NTM)에 의한 감염의 발생률, 유병률 및 사망률은 전 세계적으로 급속히 증가하고 있다. 비결핵 항산균성 폐질환(NTM pulmonary diseases; NTM-PDs)은 NTM 감염의 가장 빈번한 임상 증상으로, 느리게 성장하는 Mycobacterium avium (Mav) 복합체와 빠르게 성장하는 M. abscessus 복합체에 의해 발생한다. The incidence, prevalence, and mortality of infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are rapidly increasing worldwide. Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary diseases (NTM-PDs) are the most frequent clinical manifestations of NTM infections and are caused by the slow-growing Mycobacterium avium (Mav) complex and the fast-growing M. abscessus complex.

일반적으로, NTM-PD에 대한 치료 기간은 12개월 이상으로, 본래적 또는 획득된 항생제 내성으로 그 치료과정이 복잡하고 집중적인데 반해 결과가 좋지 않은 경우가 많다. 최근 전세계적으로 비결핵 항산균에 기인한 폐 감염 보고가 증가하고 있어 비결핵 항산균 폐 감염 질환자를 신속하게 구별하기 위한 방법이나 바이오마커에 관한 연구가 요청되고 있다. In general, the treatment period for NTM-PD is more than 12 months, and the treatment process is complex and intensive due to inherent or acquired antibiotic resistance, but the results are often poor. Recently, reports of lung infections caused by non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria have been increasing worldwide, and research on methods or biomarkers to quickly distinguish patients with non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria lung infections is being requested.

등록특허 10-2270398(비결핵 항산균에 의한 감염 질환을 구별하기 위한 바이오마커)은 대상체에게 발병한 비결핵 항산균에 의한 감염 질환의 종류를 구별 진단하기 위한 바이오마커와, 상기 구별 진단을 위한 키트 또는 구별 진단 방법에 관한 것이다. 그러나 이 문헌은 그 실시예에 명확하게 기재되어 있듯이, 사전에 "마이코박테리움 아비움 복합체(Mycobacterium avium complex) 감염"이라는 것이 확인된 상태에서 폐 질환, 림프절염, 피부·연조직·골감염증 또는 파종성 질환 등 관련 질환들 중 구체적으로 어떤 질환인지를 구별하여 진단하는 바이오마커에 관한 것이다.Registered patent 10-2270398 (biomarker for distinguishing infectious diseases caused by non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria) is a biomarker for distinguishing and diagnosing the type of infectious disease caused by non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria in a subject, and Relates to a kit or differential diagnostic method. However, as this document clearly states in its examples, lung disease, lymphadenitis, skin, soft tissue, and bone infection, or disseminated disease, with “ Mycobacterium avium complex infection” confirmed in advance. It concerns biomarkers that distinguish and diagnose specific diseases among related diseases, such as sexual diseases.

미국등록특허 US 8580490(Markers for screening anti-mycobacterial treatment efficacy)은 아르기닌 유도체 등 대사체 농도 변화로부터 결핵의 치료 효과를 확인하는 마커에 관한 것이다. 그러나 이는 비결핵 항산균 감염여부의 진단에 관한 것이 아니라 결핵균(Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex) 감염에 의한 결핵의 치료효과를 확인하기 위한 것이다. US registered patent US 8580490 (Markers for screening anti-mycobacterial treatment efficacy) relates to markers that confirm the treatment effect of tuberculosis from changes in the concentration of metabolites such as arginine derivatives. However, this is not about diagnosing non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria infection, but rather about confirming the treatment effect of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infection.

However, these drawings and examples are merely examples for easily explaining the content and scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited or changed thereby. Based on these examples, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

본 발명자들은 건강한 사람과 비결핵 항산균 폐 감염 질환자 혈청의 대사체 분석을 통해 다음을 확인하였다. The present inventors confirmed the following through metabolite analysis of the serum of healthy people and patients with non-tuberculosis mycobacterial lung infection disease.

ⓐ NTM-PD 환자에서 4-아미노부탄알, 유레아, 트립토판 농도가 유의적으로 증가함ⓐ Concentrations of 4-aminobutanal, urea, and tryptophan were significantly increased in NTM-PD patients.

ⓑ NTM-PD 환자에서 아르기닌, 글루타민, 라이신 농도가 유의적으로 감소함ⓑ Arginine, glutamine, and lysine concentrations were significantly decreased in NTM-PD patients.

본 발명은 이러한 발견에 기초한 것으로서, 아르기닌, 글루타민, 라이신, 트립토판, 유레아, 4-아미노부탄알을 바이오마커로 활용하여 잠재적 환자로부터 신속하고 정확하게 비결핵 항산균 감염 여부를 확인할 수 있는 방법 및 진단용 키트에 관한 것이다.The present invention is based on these findings, and is a method and diagnostic kit for quickly and accurately confirming non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection in a potential patient by using arginine, glutamine, lysine, tryptophan, urea, and 4-aminobutanal as biomarkers. It's about.

아래 실시예에서는 대사체 농도를 측정하기 위한 시료로 혈청을 사용하였으나 전혈 또는 혈장을 시료로 할 수도 있다. 또한 정확한 측정을 위해 예를 들면, 여과, 증류, 추출, 분리, 농축, 방해 성분의 불활성화, 시약의 첨가 등의 전처리 단계가 추가될 수도 있다. In the examples below, serum was used as a sample to measure metabolite concentration, but whole blood or plasma may also be used as a sample. Additionally, for accurate measurement, pretreatment steps such as filtration, distillation, extraction, separation, concentration, inactivation of interfering components, and addition of reagents may be added.

[실시예][Example]

1. 혈청을 대상으로 한 대사체 분석1. Metabolite analysis of serum

비결핵 항산균의 종류에 따라 M. abscessus 환자군(Mabc ; n=16), M. massiliense 환자군(Mmass ; n=16)과 건강인 대조군(HC ; n=20) 혈청의 비표적 대사체 분석을 진행하였다. According to the type of non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria, non-targeted metabolite analysis was performed on the serum of M. abscessus patients (Mabc; n=16), M. massiliense patients (Mmass; n=16), and healthy control group (HC; n=20). proceeded.

대사체의 군집 변화를 비중심 Pearson's 상관법과 중심 연결 군집분석을 통해 분석하고 MetaboAnalyst (v5.0)로 도식화하여 도 1a에 도시하였다. 도면에서 행(raw)은 시험군의 각 개체이며, 열(column)은 분석된 207종의 대사체(대사체의 명칭은 도시 생략)이다. 도면에서 데이터는 log2 scale이다. Clustered Heatmap은 대사체들을 변수로 하여 어떻게 이 변수들이 각 조건들 사이에서 얼마나 독립적으로 비슷한지 아니면 다른 지를 평가할 수 있는 방법이다. Cluster changes in metabolites were analyzed using non-central Pearson's correlation and central link cluster analysis, and were plotted using MetaboAnalyst (v5.0) and shown in Figure 1a. In the figure, the rows (raw) represent each individual in the test group, and the columns represent the 207 metabolites analyzed (the names of the metabolites are not shown). The data in the figure is log 2 scale. Clustered Heatmap is a method that uses metabolites as variables to independently evaluate how similar or different these variables are between each condition.

이를 바탕으로 한 2차원 주성분 분석결과, 건강인 대조군과 비결핵 항산균 환자군의 대사 작용이 다른 변화를 나타냄을 확인하였다(도 1b 참조). As a result of two-dimensional principal component analysis based on this, it was confirmed that the metabolic activity of the healthy control group and the non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria patient group showed different changes (see Figure 1b).

Metlin 데이터베이스(http://metlin.scripps.edu)를 토대로 비결핵 항산균 질환 환자와 건강인 간 대사체 상관관계를 Fold chain 분석과 표적 대사체 분석을 통하여 규명하였다. 그 결과, Tryptophan을 비롯한 124개의 대사체가 유의하게 증가한 반면, arginine과 glutamine 를 포함하는 23개의 대사체가 유의하게 감소되어 있음을 확인하였다(도 1c 참조). 도면은 Log fold change의 산점도를 통하여 비결핵 항산균 환자군과 건강인 대조군 간 대사체들의 평균 존재 분포도 즉, 대사체들의 양적인 차이를 도표화 한 것이다. 유의하게 증가한 대사체(Up)는 빨간색, 감소한 대사체(down)는 파란색, 차이가 없는 것(Unsig)은 회색 점으로 표현하였다. 환자군과 정상인 대조군 그룹 간에 특정 대사체들의 전체적인 대사반응이 다름을 확인할 수 있다. Based on the Metlin database (http://metlin.scripps.edu), the metabolite correlation between non-tuberculosis mycobacterial disease patients and healthy subjects was identified through fold chain analysis and targeted metabolite analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that 124 metabolites, including Tryptophan, were significantly increased, while 23 metabolites, including arginine and glutamine, were significantly decreased (see Figure 1c). The figure plots the distribution of the average presence of metabolites between the non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria patient group and the healthy control group through a scatter plot of log fold change, that is, the quantitative difference in metabolites. Significantly increased metabolites (Up) are expressed in red, decreased metabolites (Down) are expressed in blue, and those with no difference (Unsig) are expressed in gray dots. It can be seen that the overall metabolic reactions of specific metabolites are different between the patient group and the normal control group.

2. 바이오마커의 선정2. Selection of biomarkers

대사체 분석을 통해 혈장 중의 수준에 유의한 증가나 감소가 나타나는 147개 대사체 중 혈장 중 절대 농도가 높고 환자군과 건강인 대조군 사이의 편차가 큰 대사체를 선별하였다. Through metabolite analysis, among 147 metabolites that showed significant increases or decreases in plasma levels, metabolites with high absolute plasma concentrations and large differences between the patient group and the healthy control group were selected.

그 결과 유의하게 증가하는 대사체 중에서는 4-아미노부탄알(4-aminobutanal), 유레아(urea) 및 트립토판(tryptophan)이, 유의하게 감소하는 대사체 중에서는 아르기닌(arginine), 글루타민(glutamine) 및 라이신(lysine)이 선정되었다. As a result, among the metabolites that significantly increased, 4-aminobutanal, urea, and tryptophan, and among the metabolites that significantly decreased, arginine, glutamine, and Lysine was selected.

이들 6종의 대사체에 대한 비결핵 항산균 환자와 건강인 대조군 개개인의 혈장내 농도를 도 2에 도시하였다. 도면에서 막대그래프는 대사체 군집의 크기를 나타내며, ion count (y축)로 개개인을 표현하였다. (통계 방법은 Students' t-test 검정을 이용, ***, P<0.001로 표현함)The plasma concentrations of these six metabolites in non-tuberculous acid-fast bacilli patients and healthy control individuals are shown in Figure 2. In the figure, the bar graph represents the size of the metabolite cluster, and each individual is represented by ion count (y-axis). (Statistical method uses Students' t-test test, expressed as ***, P<0.001)

도 2에서 볼 수 있듯이 4-아미노부탄알, 유레아, 트립토판, 아르기닌 및 글루타민이 비결핵 항산균 감염 환자에서 그 발현이 유의적으로 증가하거나 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. As can be seen in Figure 2, the expression of 4-aminobutanal, urea, tryptophan, arginine, and glutamine was confirmed to be significantly increased or decreased in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection.

이상의 결과를 종합하면 이들 대사체가 비결핵 항산균 환자의 진단 바이오마커로써 활용될 수 있음을 의미한다. 특히 아미노부탄알과 라이신은 환자군과 대조군 사이에 농도차이가 명확하면서 개체간 농도 겹침이 나타나지 않기 때문에 비결핵 항산균 감염 여부를 확인하는 바이오마커로 매우 유용할 것이다.Taken together, the above results mean that these metabolites can be used as diagnostic biomarkers for non-tuberculous acid-fast bacteria patients. In particular, aminobutanal and lysine will be very useful as biomarkers to confirm non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection because there is a clear difference in concentration between the patient group and the control group and no overlap in concentration between individuals.
