Evaluation of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene polymorphisms and serum IL-23 levels in patients with psoriasis

ABSTRACT: Background/aim:IL-23R gene polymorphisms and the association of these polymorphisms with serum IL-23 levels were investigated in patients with psoriasis in the current study. Materials and methods:Sixty-seven patients with psoriasis who were admitted to our dermatology outpatient clinic and 67 healthy controls were included in the study. Polymorphisms of the IL-23R gene were determined by KASP-PCR method, and serum IL-23 levels were determined by ELISA method. Results:The distribution of IL-23R gene polymorphisms rs2201841, rs11209026, rs7530511, rs1343152, and rs11465804 was not significantly different in the patient and control groups. The AA genotype of the rs2201841 locus in males and the GA genotype in females, as well as the AA genotype of the rs1343152 locus in males and the CA genotype in females, were statistically significant in patients with psoriasis. The mean serum IL-23 level was significantly lower in the patient group (42.62 ± 5.96) compared to the control groups (75.76 ± 13.24). Conclusion:IL-23R gene polymorphisms including rs2201841, rs11209026, rs7530511, rs11465804, and rs1343152 were not found to be significantly related to psoriasis. Different genetic polymorphisms may play a role in the development of psoriasis in female and male populations. Ethnic differences between different populations may have led to differences in the distribution of polymorphisms in the current study with compared to other published studies. Additionally, many different genes, polymorphisms, and environmental factors that have an effect on the development of psoriasis may affect the disease process.

Project description:Background: Interleukin (IL)-17/IL-23 axis performs a prominent role in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders. This study aimed to investigate the concentrations of IL-17 in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and its relationship with gender, medication, disease forms and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in IL-23R gene, including rs11209026 and rs1004819. Methods: The blood specimens were obtained from 135 healthy individuals and 135 MS patients. The patients exhibited relapsing-remitting (RRMS; n = 65), primary progressive (PPMS; n = 19), secondary progressive (SPMS; n = 35) or progressive relapsing (PRMS; n = 14) MS. The DNA was analyzed for SNPs using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and IL-17 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: We have observed elevated serum IL-17 concentrations in MS patients compared with healthy individuals (P < 0.001). The men with MS had higher IL-17 concentrations than women patients (P < 0.050). Untreated patients had significantly higher IL-17 concentrations than healthy individuals and treated patients (P < 0.001 and P < 0.010, respectively). The IL-17 concentrations were significantly decreased in patients treated with interferon-? (IFN-?), methylprednisolone or both drugs as compared with untreated MS patients (P < 0.050, P < 0.020 and P < 0.050, respectively). The IL-17 concentrations were also significantly higher in patients with RRMS and PRMS compared with healthy individuals (P < 0.005 and P < 0.010, respectively). The genetic variations at SNPs rs11209026 and rs1004819 were not significantly different between healthy individuals and patients. The IL-17 concentrations were not influenced by genetic variations at investigated SNPs. Conclusion: These results indicated higher levels of IL-17 in MS patients that may be influenced by disease patterns, medication and gender. No association was observed between investigated SNPs and MS.
