Аннотация: Single-nucleotide polymorphism rs71327024 located in the human 3p21.31 locus has been associated with an elevated risk of hospitalization upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. The 3p21.31 locus contains several genes encoding chemokine receptors potentially relevant to severe COVID-19. In particular, CXCR6, which is prominently expressed in T lymphocytes, NK, and NKT cells, has been shown to be involved in the recruitment of immune cells to non-lymphoid organs in chronic inflammatory and respiratory diseases. In COVID-19, CXCR6 expression is reduced in lung resident memory T cells from patients with severe disease as compared to the control cohort with moderate symptoms. We demonstrate here that rs71327024 is located within an active enhancer that augments the activity of the CXCR6 promoter in human CD4+ T lymphocytes. The common rs71327024(G) variant makes a functional binding site for the c-Myb transcription factor, while the risk rs71327024(T) variant disrupts c-Myb binding and reduces the enhancer activity. Concordantly, c-Myb knockdown in PMA-treated Jurkat cells negates rs71327024’s allele-specific effect on CXCR6 promoter activity. We conclude that a disrupted c-Myb binding site may decrease CXCR6 expression in T helper cells of individuals carrying the minor rs71327024(T) allele and thus may promote the progression of severe COVID-19 and other inflammatory pathologies.
