Abstract:Objective: To investigate the expression characteristics of fornix ribonucleic acid 2-1 (VTRNA2-1) in peripheral blood T lymphocytes of patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) and its clinical significance. Methods: AD patients (AD group, 50 cases) and healthy controls (control group, 30 cases) admitted to the dermatology department of our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the research subjects. AD patients were divided according to the dermatitis score index (SCORAD) into mild AD group, moderate AD group, and severe AD group. Peripheral blood of all patients was collected to isolate CD4+ T lymphocytes, detect the expression of VTRNA2-1 gene in CD4+ T lymphocytes by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, and compare the differences of VTRNA2-1 levels between each group; Western blot and immunoprecipitation experiments were used to analyze the level of VTRNA2-1 protein and its direct-acting proteins. Results: The expression level of VTRNA2-1 gene in CD4+ T lymphocytes of patients in AD group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05); the level of VTRNA2-1 in the mild AD group and the moderate AD group was significantly lower than that of the severe AD group, while the VTRNA2-1 level of the mild AD group was significantly lower than that of the moderate AD group (P<0.05); VTRNA2-1 gene expression level was significantly positively correlated with SCORAD score (r=0.619, P<0.05); co-immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that VTRNA2-1 exerts biological functions through specific binding to protein kinase R (PKR). Conclusion: VTRNA2-1 gene is highly expressed in CD4+ T lymphocytes of patients with AD. Increased expression of VTRNA2-1 may aggravate the severity of clinical symptoms in patients. The mechanism may be through activation of PKR, which may play a role in the pathological process of AD Regulation.
