Interleukin-1? (IL-1?) & IL-4 gene polymorphisms in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) & their association with susceptibility to SLE.

ABSTRACT: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is one of the pro-inflammatory cytokines that plays a main role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) as an anti-inflammatory cytokine regulates balance between Th1 and Th2 immune responses. this study was undertaken to investigate the IL-1? and IL-4 genes polymorphisms in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and also association between the polymorphisms and susceptibility to SLE.One hundred and sixty three SLE patients and 180 healthy controls were genotyped for the IL-4 VNTR (variable number tandem repeat), IL-1? C-511T and IL-1? T-31C polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) method.The frequencies of CC genotype and C allele of the IL-1? T-31C polymorphism were significantly (P<0.01) lower in SLE patients than controls. Moreover, the frequencies of RP1/RP2 genotype and RP2 allele of IL-4 VNTR polymorphism were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the SLE patients. No association was observed between IL-1? C-511T polymorphism and increased risk of SLE. We observed increased frequency of CT and TT genotypes of IL-1? C-511T polymorphism in SLE patients with malar rash compared to SLE patients without this manifestation.The present findings suggest that IL-1? T-31C and IL-4 VNTR polymorphisms but not IL-1? C-511T polymorphism may contribute in SLE pathogenesis. In addition, CT and TT genotypes of IL-1? C-511T polymorphism were associated with SLE.

Project description:BACKGROUND: A number of observational studies have been conducted to investigate the association of the IL-10 gene polymorphisms with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility. However, their results are conflicting. METHOD: We searched published case-control studies on the IL-10 polymorphisms and SLE in PubMed, EMBASE and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. A meta-analysis was conducted using a fixed-effect or random-effect model based on between-study heterogeneity. RESULTS: A total of 42 studies with 7948 cases and 11866 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Among Caucasians, the CA27 allele of the IL10.G microsatellites (OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.01-5.62), the G allele of the IL-10 -1082G/A polymorphism (G vs. A: OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.02-1.44; GG vs. AA: OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.16-1.82; GG+GA vs. AA: OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.03-1.29) and its associated haplotype -1082G/-819C/-592C (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.10-1.42) were associated with increased SLE susceptibility without or with unimportant between-study heterogeneity. Removing studies deviating from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) hardly changed these results. Among Asians, the CA21 allele of the IL-10.G microsatellites (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.02-1.60) and the -1082G/-819C/-592C haplotype (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.00-1.53) were associated with increased SLE susceptibility, but with substantial between-study heterogeneity or sensitive to HWE status. Removing studies deviating from HWE also produced statistically significant associations of the IL-10 -1082G/A (GG vs. AA: OR 3.21, 95% CI 1.24-8.28; GG vs. AA+GA: OR 2.85, 95% CI 1.19-6.79) and -592C/A polymorphisms (CC+CA vs. AA: OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.51-0.94) with SLE among Asians. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis showed that the IL10.G microsatellites, the IL-10 -1082G/A and -592C/A polymorphisms and the haplotype -1082G/-819C/-592C are associated with SLE susceptibility. Besides, this is the first time to report an association between the CA27 allele of the IL-10.G microsatellites and SLE among Caucasians. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
