Polymorphisms and haplotypes in the promoter of the TNF-? gene are associated with disease severity of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease that is caused by a novel bunyavirus, SFTSV. We assessed whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) were associated with risk to severity of SFTS. Five TNF-? SNPs (SNP1: T-1031C; SNP2: C-863A; SNP3: C-857T; SNP4: G-308A; SNP5: G-238A) were genotyped in 987 hospitalized SFTS patients and 633 asymptomatic/mild SFTSV-infected subjects of Chinese Han origin. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The hospitalized SFTS patients had significantly lower frequency of G-238A A allele than those with mild/asymptomatic infection (P = 0.006). Furthermore, T-1031C C allele (P < 0.001) and G-238A A allele (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with decreased risk of death. Multiple haplotypes were significantly associated with decreased risk of SFTS hospital admission (SNP1-2, CC; SNP1-3, CCC; SNP1-4, CCCG; SNP1-5, CCCGA; SNP2-4, CCGA; SNP3-5, CGA; SNP4-5, GA) and death (SNP1-2, CA; SNP1-3, CAG; SNP1-4, CACG; SNP1-5, CACGG; SNP2-3, AC; SNP2-4, ACG; SNP2-5, ACGG) after correction for multiple comparisons. By using the ELISA assay, we observed that TNF-? concentration of hospitalized patients was significantly increased in acute phase than in convalescent phase (P < 0.001). Elevated TNF-? concentration was also revealed from fatal patients (P < 0.001). The -238A allele was associated with decreased serum TNF-? levels in SFTS patients in acute phase (P = 0.01). Our findings suggest that polymorphisms in TNF-? gene may play a role in mediating the risk to disease severity of SFTS in Chinese Han population.

Project description:BackgroundThe tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene plays an important role in the host immune response, which will influence the development and clearance of cancer. Polymorphism of the TNF-α promoter region is considered to influence its transcription and be a risk factor for tumorigenesis. In the current study, we evaluated the role of TNF-α promoter region polymorphisms in susceptibility to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer (CC).MethodsA total of 2732 subjects, including 1173 healthy controls, 579 patients with CIN and 980 patients with CC in a Chinese Han population, were selected for the current study. Five SNPs in the TNF-α promoter, rs1799964 (-1031 C>T), rs1800630 (-863 A>C), rs1799724 (-857 C>T), rs1800629 (-308 A>G) and rs361525 (-238 A>G), were selected and genotyped using TaqMan Assays. The association of these SNPs with CIN and cervical cancer was evaluated among healthy controls, CIN and CC patients.ResultsThe frequency distribution of rs1800629 and rs361525 alleles was significantly different between the CC group and the control group (P=0.009 and P=0.002). The rs1800629 A allele was found to be a protective factor for CC (OR=0.72; 95% CI=0.56-0.92). The rs361525 A allele was found to be a risk factor for CC (OR=1.69; 95% CI=1.21-2.38). After pathological subtyping of CC, the allele distribution of rs1800629 and rs361525 were both significantly different between the cervical squamous cell carcinoma and control groups (P=0.002 and P<0.001). The rs1800629 A allele was protective factor for cervical squamous cell carcinoma (OR=0.66; 95% CI=0.50-0.86). The rs361525 A allele was a risk factor for cervical squamous cell carcinoma (OR=1.87; 95% CI=1.32-2.65). Moreover, the genotypic frequency of rs361525 was significantly different between cervical cancer stage I and stage II (P=0.003).ConclusionThe rs1800629 and rs361525 in the TNF-α promoter are associated with susceptibility to CC in the Chinese Han population.
