Association between IFN-? +874A/T and IFN-?R1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) Gene Polymorphisms and Chronic Periodontitis in a Sample of Iranian Population.

ABSTRACT: Background. Interferon gamma (IFN-?) is an immune regulatory cytokine that acts through its receptor and plays important role in progression of inflammatory disease such as chronic periodontitis (CP). The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the distribution of IFN-? (+874A/T) and IFN-?R1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) gene polymorphisms among CP and healthy individuals and to investigate relationships between these polymorphisms and susceptibility to CP. Materials and Methods. 310 individuals were enrolled in the study including 210 CP patients and 100 healthy controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms at IFN-? (+874A/T) and IFN-?R1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) were analyzed by ARMS-PCR and PCR-RFLP methods. Results. The significant difference was found in genotype and allele frequency of IFN-? (+874A/T) gene polymorphism in chronic periodontitis patients and healthy controls. The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies for IFN-?R1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) were similar among the groups and no differences in the frequencies of alleles or genotypes of IFN-?R1 genetic polymorphisms variants between case and control groups were detected. Conclusion. The finding of this study showed that IFN-? +874A/T gene polymorphism may affect susceptibility to CP, whereas IFN-?R1 genetic polymorphisms at -611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T were not associated with this disease.

Background. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an immune regulatory cytokine that acts through its receptor and plays important role in progression of inflammatory disease such as chronic periodontitis (CP). The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the distribution of IFN-γ (+874A/T) and IFN-γR1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) gene polymorphisms among CP and healthy individuals and to investigate relationships between these polymorphisms and susceptibility to CP.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is considered to be one of the most important causes of death worldwide, and it affects the Iranian female population a decade earlier than female in other parts of the world. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a main subunit of the telomerase complex. MNS16A is located downstream of the hTERT gene and is recognized as the regulator of hTERT promoter activity. The aim of the present study was to access the possible impact of hTERT variants on BC risk in an Iranian population in southeast Iran. METHODS: A total of 491 subjects including 266 BC patients and 225 healthy women participated in the study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to genotype the MNS16A variable number of tandem repeats and 177 bp ins/del polymorphisms in the hTERT gene. PCR-RFLP and ARMS-PCR were used to genotype hTERT rs2736098 and 2735940, respectively. The association between genotypes and BC was assessed by computing the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) from logistic regression analyses. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The MNS16A genotype frequency distribution in BC patients was: LL, 43.2%; LS, 51.1%; and SS, 5.7%, and in controls: LL, 29.5%; LS, 68.3%; and SS, 2.2%. The LS genotype decreased the risk of BC compared with LL (OR=0.51, 95% CI=0.35-0.75, p<0.001). The hTERT 177 bp ins/del polymorphism was not polymorphic in our population. All subjects had the ins/ins genotype. Our findings indicate that the MNS16A genotype and hTERT rs2736098 variant were associated with BC risk in the study. We also showed that the rs2736098 A/G polymorphism increased the risk of BC (OR=1.80, 95% CI=1.12-2.88, p=0.017, AG vs AA; OR=1.80, 95% CI=1.06-3.06, p=0.033, GG vs AA; OR=1.87, 95% CI=1.19-2.94, p=0.006, AG+GG vs AA). No significant association was found between the rs2735940 C/T variant and BC. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that the MNS16A genotype and the hTERT rs2736098 variant influence the risk of BC in an Iranian population in southeast Iran.

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.
