Interleukin-8 gene promoter polymorphism (rs4073) may contribute to chronic periodontitis.

ABSTRACT: The proinflammatory chemokine interleukin (IL)-8 is important in the regulation of the inflammatory response. Analyses of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) reference sequence (rs) 4073 showed that the A allele upregulated IL-8 levels after stimulation with lipopolysaccharides. We investigated the association of the SNP rs4073 with chronic periodontitis.Genotyping was performed by a standard polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay in 289 genomic DNA samples of healthy control subjects and patients with chronic periodontitis; analyses were adjusted by multivariate logistic regression modeling. A real-time polymerase chain reaction performance was used to detect levels of the IL-8 mRNA.The analysis pointed to a statistically significant association of chronic periodontitis with the heterozygous TA genotype (P = 0.001); the results showed an increase in the frequency of the A allele in the diseased group (36% in the control group versus 48% in the periodontitis group). The higher levels of the IL-8 mRNA were found in the periodontitis group, mainly in individuals who presented the TA genotype (P = 0.03).The SNP rs4073 was associated with chronic periodontitis in non-smoker Brazilian subjects because the frequency of the A allele was higher in the disease group than in the control group, and the TA genotype was associated with increased levels of IL-8 mRNA transcripts.

Project description:BackgroundChronic periodontitis (CP) is characterized by an immune response, leading to the destruction of periodontal supporting tissue. The effect of inflammatory and genetic factors on periodontitis has been evaluated previously. The interleukin (IL-17) as an inflammation regulator seems to play a critical role in periodontitis pathogenesis. Here, in the current study, we aimed to investigate the association of -197 G > A (rs2275913) IL-17 gene promoter polymorphism with generalized severe CP in an Iranian population.Materials and methodsIn this case-control study, a total of 54 patients with periodontitis and 118 normals were enrolled. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique was applied to detect IL-17 promoter rs2275913 genotypes in association with the susceptibility to severe CP. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was employed to compare genotype frequencies between groups. P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultsThe distribution of genotypes and alleles was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Although no significant association was observed between the risk of periodontitis and genotype frequencies under any of the inheritance models, the GG genotype was higher in healthy controls, while the AG genotype was more frequently observed in patients under the codominant model ([odd ratio [OR] = 2.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.01-4.53), P = 0.13]). The frequency of AG-AA genotype was higher in patients under dominant inheritance model ([OR = 1.92, 95% CI (0.94-3.93), P = 0.068]), while GG-AA and AG genotypes were higher in healthy controls under over dominant model (OR = 0.1.95, 95% CI [0.98-3.86], P = 0.055).ConclusionThe results of this study showed that the presence of allele A and AG genotypes could be considered possible factors in increasing the risk of developing CP, although the differences of allele and genotype frequencies were remarkable but not statistically significant between the two groups.
