Association of interleukin 2, interleukin 12, and interferon-? with intervertebral disc degeneration in Iranian population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is an age-related degenerative disease, presenting with low back pain or radicular pain. The inflammatory changes would occur in discs in the process of IVDD. Therefore, the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, as well as their respective genes, have been proposed to play roles in pathophysiology of disease. This study has been conducted to elucidate the role of IL-2, IL-12, and IFN-? single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in this disease. METHOD:Seventy-six patients who were diagnosed with IVDD and 140 healthy controls who complied with eligibility criteria were included. A total volume of 5?cc peripheral blood was obtained from each participant to investigate the IL-2?+?166G/T, IL-2 -330G/T, IL-12?-?1188A/C, and IFN-? +847A/T SNPs through PCR-SSP method. RESULTS:The 'TG' and 'TT' genotypes of IL-2?-?330G/T polymorphism were significantly more common among patients and healthy controls respectively. The 'GT' and 'TT' haplotypes of IL-2 (comprised of -330G/T, and?+?166G/T SNPs) were also more common among patients and controls respectively. CONCLUSION:This study indicated the significant role of IL-2 genotypes and haplotypes in IVDD. These SNPs were differently distributed in patients and controls. Therefore, alteration in the structure of IL-2 gene could play an important role in pathophysiology of IVDD.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Considered as one of the major causes of low back pain, Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is caused by several genetic and environmental factors. As inflammation plays an important role in disc degeneration, the genetic changes in both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes may play causative roles in IVDD as well. Therefore, the interactions between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and also other components of disc matrix would determine the degree of tissue destruction in disc degeneration. However, there is still controversy regarding the exact role of inflammation and disc homeostasis imbalance in pathophysiology of IVDD. Therefore, current study was conducted to investigate the role of IL-10 and TGF-? single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in Iranian IVDD patients. METHODS:Seventy-six IVDD patients and 140 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Genomic DNA from peripheral leukocytes was tested for 3 SNPs in IL10 (L-10 -1082G/A (rs1800896), IL-10 -819C/T (rs1800871), IL-10 -592A/C (rs1800872)) and 2 SNPs in TGF-? (TGF-? Codon 10 C/T (rs1982037), and TGF-? Codon 25 C/T (rs1800471) genes through PCR-SSP method. The extracted genomic DNA was genotyped for the aforementioned SNPs of interest using specific primers, which were coated in the cytokines KITs and based on the PCR-SSP method for sequencing. RESULTS:The 'T' allele of IL-10 -819C/T and the 'C' allele of IL-10 -592A/C were more prevalent among patients, whereas the 'C' and 'A' alleles of respective SNPs were significantly more frequent in controls. The genotypes including 'CT' of IL-10 -819C/T, 'CA' of IL-10 -592A/C, and 'GA' of IL-10 -1082A/G were more common among patients, while the 'CC' genotype of both IL-10 -819C/T and IL-10 -592A/C SNPs were more frequent in controls. In addition, the IL-10 haplotypes including 'ACC', 'ATA', and 'ACA' were significantly associated with disease. Meanwhile, the 'TC' haplotype of TGF-? was more common among patients as well. CONCLUSIONS:The IL-10 SNPs were significantly associated with IVDD in Iranian population; which proposes that genomic alterations of anti-inflammatory cytokines could lead to homeostasis imbalance in intervertebral discs and degenerative changes.

Project description:Background contextDisc degeneration (DD) is a multifaceted chronic process that alters the structure and function of the intervertebral discs and can lead to painful conditions. The pathophysiology of degeneration is not well understood, but previous studies suggest that certain genetic polymorphisms may be important contributing factors leading to an increased risk of DD.PurposeTo review the genetic factors in DD with a focus on polymorphisms and their putative role in the pathophysiology of degeneration. Elucidating the genetic components that are associated with degeneration could provide insights into the mechanism of the process. Furthermore, defining these relationships and eventually using them in a clinical setting may allow an identification and early intervention for those who are at a high risk for painful DD.Study designLiterature review.MethodsThis literature review focused on the studies concerning genetic polymorphisms and their associations with DD.ResultsGenetic polymorphisms in 20 genes have been analyzed in association with DD, including vitamin D receptor, growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5), aggrecan, collagen Types I, IX, and XI, fibronectin, hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1), thrombospondin, cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP), asporin, MMP1, 2, and 3, parkinson protein 2, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (PARK2), proteosome subunit ? type 9 (PSMB9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), and IL1?, IL1?, and IL6. Each genetic polymorphism codes for a protein that has a functional role in the pathogenesis of DD.ConclusionsThere are known associations between several genetic polymorphisms and DD. Of the 20 genes analyzed, polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor, aggrecan, Type IX collagen, asporin, MMP3, IL1, and IL6 show the most promise as functional variants. Genetic studies are crucial for understanding the mechanism of the degeneration. This genetic information could eventually be used as a predictive model for determining a patient's risk for symptomatic DD.
