Abstract
Objective Investigating the expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with chronic hepatitis C infection (CHC),to explore the effects of gender and age on Toll-like receptor expres-sion.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 1 1 5 patients of chronic hepatitis C infection,1 1 3 healthy individuals.Ex-pression levels of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were significant difference between patients with CHC infection and healthy individuals (t=38.73,6.16, P<0.05),respectively.The expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were significant difference between premenopausal fe-males with CHC infection,postmenopausal females and young males of CHC infection (t=61.210,6.464,P<0.05;t=24.166,26.266,P<0.05),respectively.The expression of TLR3 and TLR7 mRNA were significant differences between old males and young males of chronic hepatitis CHC infection (t=86.349,19.583,P<0.05).The expression of TLR3 mRNA was significant differences between old males and postmenopausal females of CHC infection (t=122.941,P<0.05).There was no correlation between the expressions of TLR3 and TLR7 and HCV-RNA load of CHC patents of Gender and age dis-crepancies (|r|<0.40,P>0.05).The HCV-RNA load of premenopausal females was significant lower than young males and old females (t=3.49,2.51,P<0.05),the load of old males was lower than old females (t=2.35,P<0.05),however, there was no significant differences between old males and old females (t=1.20,P<0.05).Conclusion Gender and age dis-crepancies have a relationship with the expression of Toll-like receptors of patients with CHC infection,which may provide a theoretical basis and a new method for CHC.关键词
