Abstract:
Objective To investigate the C1q expression in the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and its mechanism on the anti-TB role of macrophages .Methods Each 30 cases of active pulmonary TB ,tuberculous pleurisy ,latent Mycobacterium tu-berculosis infection and healthy controls were selected .Peripheral venous blood 10-20 mL was collected on the next day of admis-sion or on the time for physical examination .Pleural fluid 50 mL was extracted in the patients with hydrothorax and the lung tissue specimens 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm was taken in the operative patients .The real-time quantitative PCR(RT-PCR) was adopted to detect the express C1q in peripheral macrophages and the C1q expressing in macrophages of the lung tissue was detected by immunohisto-chemical staining .Results The peripheral blood C1qA expression level in the active pulmonary TB group and the tuberculous pleu-risy group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group and the latent TB infection group (P<0 .05) .The C1qA expression level in hydrothorax in the tuberculous pleurisy group was higher than that in the active pulmonary TB group (P<0 .05) ,and the C1q expression in hydrothorax in these two groups was higher than that in peripheral blood (P<0 .05) .C1q was strongly expressed in macrophage cytoplasma in the active pulmonary TB group and the TB pleurisy group ,but weakly expressed in the multinuclear macrophages .Conclusion The peripheral blood C1qA expression level in the active pulmonary TB group and the tuberculous pleurisy group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group and the latent TB infection group (P<0 .05) .The C1qA expression level in hydrothorax in the tuberculous pleurisy group was higher than that in the active pulmonary TB group (P<0 .05) ,and the C1q expression in hydrothorax in these two groups was higher than that in peripheral blood (P<0 .05) . C1q was strongly expressed in macrophage cytoplasma in the active pulmonary TB group and the TB pleurisy group ,but weakly ex-pressed in the multinuclear macrophages .
