The present study was performed to evaluate the association of WNT signaling pathway genes variants with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) risk in Chinese Han population. Our study subjects were composed of 452 PTB patients and 465 normal controls, and seventeen SNPs of seven genes in WNT signaling pathway (SFRP1, WNT3A, CTNNB1, WIF-1, DKK-1, LRP5, LRP6) were genotyped by SNPscan technique. We found no significant relationship of SFRP1 rs10088390, rs4736958, rs3242, WNT3A rs752107, rs3121310, CTNNB1 rs2293303, rs1798802, rs4135385, WIF-1 rs1026024, rs3782499, DKK-1 rs2241529, rs1569198, LRP5 rs3736228, rs556442, LRP6 rs2302685, rs11054697, rs10743980 polymorphisms with PTB susceptibility. While, WIF-1 rs3782499 variant was associated with susceptibility to PTB under recessive model, and haplotype analysis showed that DKK-1 GA haplotype frequency was significantly increased in PTB patients. The WNT3A rs3121310, CTNNB1 rs2293303 polymorphisms were respectively associated with drug-induced liver injury (DILI), sputum smear-positive in PTB patients. The rs3782499 in WIF-1 gene was related to fever, leukopenia, and the rs1569198 in DKK-1 was linked to sputum smear-positive in PTB patients. In LRP5 gene, rs3736228, rs556442 variants respectively affected the occurrence of DILI, fever, and LRP6 gene rs2302685, rs10743980 variants respectively influenced the development of hypoproteinemia, sputum smear-positive in PTB patients. Our results revealed that WNT signaling pathway genes variation were not associated with the susceptibility to PTB, while WNT3A, CTNNB1, WIF-1, DKK-1, LRP5, LRP6 genetic variations might be closely related to the occurrence of several clinical characteristics of PTB patients.

“…The three m6A methyltransferases METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP were included in the analyses, and the functional SNPs in their corresponding genes were chosen based on previous studies ( 24 ). Existing studies investigating associations between METTL3 , METTL14 , and WTAP gene polymorphisms and human diseases were systematically reviewed, and the SNPs related to human diseases were identified.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to investigate the contributing role of gene variation and transcription levels among the m6A methyltransferases METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).MethodsA case-control study including 461 PTB patients and 467 normal controls was designed for genotyping. Three SNPs in METTL3 (rs1061027, rs1139130, rs1061026), three SNPs in METTL14 (rs62328061, rs4834698, rs1064034), and two SNPs in WTAP (rs1853259, rs11752345) were genotyped via the SNPscan™ technique. METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP transcription levels were determined in 78 PTB patients and 86 controls via quantitative real-time reverse-transcription PCR.ResultsFrequencies of the METTL14 rs62328061 GG genotype, WTAP rs11752345 CT genotype, and T allele were significantly increased in PTB patients compared to controls. An increased risk of rs62328061 was detected in a recessive model, and a decreased risk of rs11752345 was detected in a dominant model in the PTB group. METTL3 gene variation was not associated with PTB risk. The METTL3 rs1139130 GG genotype was significantly increased with drug resistance, and the G allele was significantly decreased with drug-induced liver injury in PTB patients. A reduced frequency of the METTL14 rs62328061 G allele was associated with leukopenia, a reduced frequency of the WTAP rs11752345 T allele was associated with sputum smear positivity, and a higher frequency of the METTL14 rs4834698 TC genotype was evident in PTB patients with hypoproteinemia. Compared to controls, METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP transcription levels in PTB patients were significantly decreased, and the level of WTAP was increased in PTB patients with drug resistance. METTL3 level was negatively associated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate and aspartate aminotransferase, and METTL14 level was negatively correlated with alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase.ConclusionMETTL14 rs62328061 and WTAP rs11752345 variants were associated with the genetic background of PTB, and METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP levels were abnormally decreased, suggesting that these m6A methyltransferases may play important roles in PTB.

“…China is still the third highest burdened country and accounts for 8.4% of the total global patients in 2019 (1). Studies had shown that the occurrence and development of TB was mainly determined by a complex interaction between multiple factors, including MTB strains and environmental and host genetic factors (2)(3)(4). Host genetics was confirmed to play an important role in determining disease progression and prognosis after MTB infection; hence, identifying the factors that influence disease susceptibility could provide important evidence for the design of effective control strategies.…”

N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is associated with many biological processes and the development of multiple diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of m6A readers' genes variation, as well as their expression levels, with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). A total of 11 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in m6A readers' genes (i.e., YTHDF1 rs6122103, rs6011668, YTHDF2 rs602345, rs3738067, YTHDF3 rs7464, rs12549833, YTHDC1 rs3813832, rs17592288, rs2293596, and YTHDC2 rs6594732, and rs2416282) were genotyped by SNPscan™ technique in 457 patients with PTB and 466 normal controls. The m6A readers' genes expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 78 patients with PTB and 86 normal controls were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). There was no significant association between all SNPs in YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2 genes and PTB susceptibility. The increased frequencies of YTHDF2 rs3738067 GG genotype and YTHDC1 rs3813832 CC genotype, C allele, were, respectively, found in PTB patients with hypoproteinemia and fever. YTHDC2 rs6594732 variant was significantly associated with drug-induced liver damage and sputum smear-positive, and the rs2416282 variant was significantly associated with fever in patients with PTB. Compared with controls, the YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2 mRNA levels were significantly decreased in PTB. Moreover, YTHDF1 level was negatively associated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and YTHDF3 and YTHDC1 levels were negatively related to alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in patients with PTB. Our results demonstrated that YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, YTHDC1, and YTHDC2 genes SNPs did not contribute to PTB susceptibility, while their decreased levels in patients with PTB suggested that these m6A readers might play significant roles in PTB.
