Popis: Objective To compare the expression levels of pncA gene in pyrazinamide (PZA)-resistant and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis before and after PZA drug stimulation, and to explore the relationship between PZA-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and pncA gene expression. Methods PZA-resistant and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cultured, and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rifampicin and PZA was detected. The strains were cultured in medium containing 0 and 50 μg/mL PZA, and the expression level of pncA was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results The MIC of PZA of 21 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was ≥ 1 600 μg/mL,400-800 μg/mL for 12 strains, and 100-200 μg/mL in 5 strains,and their corresponding PZA resistance levels were defined as high,medium and low,respectively. The median MIC of rifampicin was 128, 128 and 64μg/mL, respectively. Chi-square test showed that there was no significant difference between any two groups (all P > 0.05). According to the relative quantitative 2-ΔΔCt method, the expression levels of pncA in the high,medium and low levels of PZA drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis was 0.904(0.202, 2.653), 1.157(0.658, 1.511) and 1.147(0.372, 1.347), and 1.544(0.611, 3.191), 0.846(0.421, 1.237) and 0.726 (0.225, 3.017) in the 50 μg/mL treatment group,respectively. There was no significant difference in pncA gene expression between the control and PZA drug-containing culture groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion No significant changes are observed in the expression levels of pncA in multidrug-resistant and PZA-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis before and after PZA drug stimulation.
