摘要: 目的 探讨TET基因和5-羟甲基胞嘧啶(5hmC)在慢性鼻窦炎(CRS)中的表达及临床意义。方法 获取20例CRS伴鼻息肉患者的息肉组织(CRSwNP组), 20例CRS不伴鼻息肉患者的钩突组织(CRSsNP组)和10例鼻中隔偏曲患者的中鼻甲组织(对照组)。通过免疫荧光技术、Western-Blot和实时荧光定量PCR检测TET基因和5hmC在CRS中的表达。结果 TET1/2/3基因和5 hmC在CRSsNP组中均有较高表达, 在CRSwNP组和对照组中表达较低, CRSsNP组与CRSwNP组和对照组比较差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05);CRSwNP组中TET1与TET3的表达显著低于对照组(P < 0.05)。结论 DNA去甲基化在鼻息肉的形成中有着重要作用, TET1、TET2、TET3和5hmC的高表达可能降低鼻息肉形成风险; CRS中DNA去甲基化增加有可能降低鼻息肉形成风险, 当CRS中DNA甲基化程度较高、DNA去甲基化程度较低时疾病可能向CRSwNP发展, 而当DNA甲基化程度较低、DNA去甲基化程度较高时则可能发展为CRSsNP。Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of TET gene and 5hmC in chronic sinusitis.Methods Acquiring 20 cases of nasal polyps from chronic sinusitis with polyps(CW), 20 cases of uncinate process tissues from chronic sinusitis without polyps(CS), 10 cases of middle turbinate tissues from patients with nasal septum deviated as normal group(N).The expression of TET gene and 5hmC in chronic sinusitis was measured by immunofluorescence, Western-Blot and Quantitative real-time PCR.Results Both TET1/2/3 gene and 5 hmC were highly expressed in the CS group, but were lower in the CW group and the N group.There were statistically significant differences between the CS group and the CW group(P < 0.05), and between the CS group and the N group(P < 0.05).The expressions of TET1 and TET3 in the N group were higher than those in the CW group, and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).Conclusion DNA demethylation plays an important role in the formation of nasal polyps.High expression of TET1, TET2, TET3 and 5hmC May reduce the risk of nasal polyps.Increased DNA demethylation in chronic sinusitis may reduce the risk of nasal polyp formation.When the degree of DNA methylation in chronic sinusitis is high and the degree of DNA demethylation is low, the disease may develop to CRSwNP, and when the degree of DNA methylation is low and the degree of DNA demethylation is high, the disease may develop to CRSsNP.
