Abstract

Despite the development of various vaccines against COVID-19, their effectiveness in creating immune memory is still debated by many scientists. Thus, understanding the mechanisms of immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 to increase the effectiveness of vaccination against this virus can be helpful. In this study, we assessed the relationship between the expression levels of the CD27 and CD73 genes with the Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike IgG serum level of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 25 male volunteers between the ages of 25 and 55, one, three, and six months after vaccination with an inactivated virus vaccine from Sinopharm. For this purpose, real-time PCR and ELISA tests were used to measure gene expression and evaluate the serum antibody level. Results suggested that with the increase in the expression of the CD27 gene after the first and third month, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG serum titer also increases. Interestingly, by reducing the expression of this gene in the sixth month, the antibody titer in these volunteers decreases. In this regard, the results of the examination of CD73 expression show an inverse relationship between the antibody titer against the SARS-CoV-2 virus S protein and the expression of CD73. The results showed a relationship between the expression of genes CD27 and CD73 and the serum level of antibodies in the first, third, and sixth months after vaccination with the first dose of Sinopharm. Of course, this claim should be proven in studies with larger populations.

期刊介绍： Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
