Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular, to a marker, system, and kit for screening or diagnosing Behçet's disease, and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystem chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology. BD is highly heterogeneous, with complex and variable clinical manifestations. Patients often experience recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and skin lesions. Early diagnosis of BD remains difficult, relying primarily on clinicians' symptom assessment and evaluation, which often leads to delayed diagnosis.
[0003] Glycosylation is a common translational modification that regulates numerous biological processes, including protein folding, stability, and host-pathogen interactions. The effector functions of immunoglobulins (Igs) are largely determined by their glycosylation structures. In addition to quantitative variations in specific Ig isotypes, Ig N-glycosylation plays a crucial role in regulating the functional interactions between Igs and receptors and other interacting molecules. Glycosylation plays a crucial role in immune homeostasis, immune regulation, and the effector functions of antibodies. Studies have reported that for IgG, subclass-specific structural differences and Fc glycosylation influence affinity for FcγRs. Lactosylated IgG has significantly increased affinity for activating FcRs. In addition to lactosylated N-glycans, IgG glycans containing fucose and sialic acid also influence Ig binding affinity for their Fc receptors. Furthermore, antibody glycosylation can influence antibody function by altering the structure of the Ig Fc fragment or by controlling the recruitment of effector cells that bind to specific Fc receptors.
[0004] In terms of inflammation, specific glycoforms on IgG are associated with different functions. Sialylation of the galactosylated N297 glycan affects the conformation of the antibody, thereby altering the interaction with the receptor and downstream anti-inflammatory signaling pathways. IgG without galactosylation is considered a pro-inflammatory antibody, and the loss of galactose leads to binding to mannan-binding lectins, thereby activating the complement pathway and participating in the pathogenesis. The distribution of immunoglobulin glycosylation and its changes among different immunoglobulin subtypes remains unclear in BD. Identifying new biomarkers is not only crucial for early diagnosis and risk assessment, but also helps to reveal the underlying pathological mechanisms. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Table 3
[0056] Example 3 This example is used to illustrate the detection of glycosylation structures in the proteome of a blood sample.
[0057] 1. Preparation before the experiment: (1) Preparation of laboratory-made lectin chip: The lectin chip was moved from -20℃ to a 4℃ refrigerator the night before the experiment. On the day of the experiment, the lectin chip was taken out 1 hour in advance and equilibrated to room temperature before use.
[0058] (2) Reagent preparation: Prepare 1% BSA and 0.05% PBST respectively, filter and store at 4°C (still need to be stored at 4°C after use).
[0059] 2. Sample chip screening: (1) Blocking: Add a fence to the chip, add 100 μL / well of 1% BSA to the chip, and block at room temperature at 12 rpm for 1 hour; (2) Sample: Plasma was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and then diluted with 1% BSA at different times according to the immunoglobulin to be detected: IgG and IgA antibody groups: the volume ratio of serum to 1% BSA was 1:100; IgG1+IgG3 antibody group: the volume ratio of serum to 1% BSA was 1:25; IgG2 and IgG4 antibody groups: the volume ratio of serum to 1% BSA was 1:25; Sample loading: Add the diluted plasma sample to the lectin chip, 100 μL / well, and incubate on a shaker at room temperature at 12 rpm for 2 h; (3) Washing: Wash three times with 0.05% PBST, 10 min each time; (4) Add fluorescent dye: Dilute donkey anti-human IgG (Fc), IgA, IgG1, IgG3, IgG2, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2 to a final concentration of 2.5 μg / mL and dilute with 1% BSA. IgG+IgA, IgG1+IgG3, IgG2+IgG4, and IgA1+IgA2 can be grouped for detection. 100 μL / well, incubate in a shaker at 12 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature in the dark. For product information on anti-immunoglobulin secondary antibodies, please refer to Table 2 above. (5) Wash in dark: Wash with 0.05% PBST three times, 10 min each time; then wash with sterile double-distilled water twice, 2 min each time; (6) Microarray Detection: The microarray was air-dried and fluorescence signals were detected and analyzed using a GenePix 4300A microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and GenePix Pro7 software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The scanning channels were as follows: IgG: 532; IgA, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1: 635; IgG1, IgG2, IgA2: 488.
[0060] 3. Data processing: Chip data processing: The F median signal values of two technical replicates of the same lectin on the chip are averaged and used as the signal intensity of the lectin detection point. Samples missing all lectin detection signal points for a certain immunoglobulin subtype are removed. After eliminating duplicate samples, valid samples are obtained. Each lectin signal value on the chip is divided by 25% of the signal value of all buffers in the block where the detection point is located for background correction. Because the expression levels of each immunoglobulin subtype vary between different samples, each corrected signal value is divided by the quantitative concentration value of the corresponding immunoglobulin subtype of the patient for standardization, thereby eliminating differential changes in glycosylation signals caused by excessively high or low plasma immunoglobulin concentrations in the research subjects.
[0061] Statistical Analysis and Determination of BD-Associated Immunoglobulin Glycosylation: Statistical analysis of the data was performed using R 4.1.2 and Prism 9.0.2. Differentially expressed proteins between the BD group and the healthy control group and the disease control group were identified using the Man-Whitney test. The fold change of the lectin detection signal value for each immunoglobulin in the BD group compared with the healthy control group and the disease control group was calculated. Proteins with a fold change greater than 1 between the two groups were identified as BD-associated. Proteins with a fold change greater than 1.2 and a p < 0.05 were further validated in subsequent ELISA experiments.
[0062] 4. Experimental results: The BD group showed significant changes in glycosylation signal values compared with the healthy control and disease control groups. Figure 1 Compared with the healthy control group and the disease control group, the sugar structures of BD plasma immunoglobulins that were up-regulated or down-regulated were shown in Figure 2 ,according to Figure 2 The Venn diagram showed that the levels of glycans bound by plasma immunoglobulins and chip lectins were significantly correlated with BD.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown in the data, from the perspective of immunoglobulin subtypes, IgG glycan changes were the most common, accounting for 87.9% (29 / 33) of all changes. In addition, IgA and IgG1 glycan changes also occurred: IgA was elderberry agglutinin (SNA) bound to sialic acid, and IgG1 was banana agglutinin (BanLec) bound to sialic acid and urea oleifera agglutinin (UEA-I) bound to fucose.
[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, IgG4 proteins containing Galβ4GlcNAc glycosylation structures recognized by Erythrina chinensis lectin (ECL) were significantly reduced in BD. Compared with controls, the expression levels of 13 IgG glycans and one IgA glycan were altered by a fold change greater than 1.2 in BD. The fold changes in IgG4 glycoprotein expression in BD were 0.3 (compared with healthy controls, equivalent to the normalized signal value of IgG4 protein glycosylation structure lectin in BD patients / normalized signal value of IgG4 protein glycosylation structure lectin in HC group = 1 / 0.3 = 3.3) and 0.84 (compared with disease controls, equivalent to the normalized signal value of IgG4 protein glycosylation structure lectin in BD patients / normalized signal value of IgG4 protein glycosylation structure lectin in DC patients = 1 / 0.84 = 1.19).
[0065] Example 5 The IgG4 protein that specifically binds to ECL / ECA is downregulated in BD, and the fold change is significant. A large body of evidence indicates that complement plays a central role in the pathogenesis of BD, and that non- / low-galactosylated IgG has proinflammatory and cell-damaging effects, which are associated with the development and progression of immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and membranous nephropathy. It is hypothesized that low-galactosylated IgG4 may be involved in the activation of complement via the lectin pathway, and thus in the development and progression of BD. Based on this, an ELISA was performed, in which plasma was coated with ECL and then incubated with HRP-labeled mouse anti-human IgG4 Fc secondary antibody. After adding TMB for color development, it was found that the binding strength of BD patient plasma to ECL was significantly enhanced ( Figure 5 ), combined with literature reports, this may indicate that the patient's plasma contains components including non / low galactosylation immunoglobulins that are prone to activate complement and promote inflammatory response.
