Investigation of the IL-1? +3954 C>T polymorphism and the risk of sepsis: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Studies have obtained conflicting findings regarding the association between the interleukin-1? (IL-1?) +3954 C>T polymorphism and the risk of sepsis. To evaluate the association between the IL-1? +3954 C>T polymorphism and sepsis risk in Chinese individuals, we conducted a study of 254 sepsis patients and 322 controls. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used for genotyping. We found that the IL-1? +3954 C>T polymorphism was associated with a reduced risk of sepsis. Subgroup analyses revealed that this significant association was more evident among nonsmokers, nondrinkers, individuals with body mass index <25, and individuals aged ?60 years. The IL-1? +3954 C>T polymorphism was also associated with the 28-day mortality rate and severity of sepsis. In summary, the IL-1? +3954 C>T polymorphism confers a reduced risk of sepsis in Han Chinese. This polymorphism may serve as a marker that predicts patients' susceptibility to sepsis.

Studies have obtained conflicting findings regarding the association between the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) +3954 C>T polymorphism and the risk of sepsis. To evaluate the association between the IL-1β +3954 C>T polymorphism and sepsis risk in Chinese individuals, we conducted a study of 254 sepsis patients and 322 controls. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used for genotyping. We found that the IL-1β +3954 C>T polymorphism was associated with a reduce ...[more]

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare IL-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from healthy and periodontitis sites of IL-1B(3954)-Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) positive and IL-1B(3954)-SNP negative periodontitis subjects in association with their bacterial profiles.BackgroundSusceptibility to periodontitis has been associated with several risk factors, including allelic variants at multiple gene loci. Variations in the IL-1 gene cluster have been linked with increased risk for periodontitis. IL-1B(3954)-SNP has been previously associated with increased levels of IL-1β in GCF or periodontal tissues in chronic periodontitis patients, as well as higher levels of specific periodontal pathogens. There is insufficient evidence to conclude if IL-1B gene polymorphisms affect the susceptibility to periodontitis by ultimately modulating the levels of IL-1β in GCF, the subgingival microbial profile or both.Materials and methodsGCF, subgingival plaque, and buccal epithelial cells were collected from 32 individuals with periodontitis. GCF IL-1β levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Bacterial plaque samples were analyzed for 11 periodontal pathogens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with specific primers for the 16SrRNA gene of each bacterium. IL-1B(3954)-SNP status was determined by identifying the carriers of the polymorphic T allele.ResultsA significant association was shown between IL-1B(3954)-SNP and IL-1β GCF levels (amount and concentration). The concomitant presence of two or three red complex bacterial species was associated with increased IL-1β GCF levels in periodontitis sites (site-level analysis). The concurrent presence of all three red complex periodontal pathogens and IL-1B(3954)-SNP was associated with the highest IL-1β GCF levels in periodontitis sites.ConclusionsOur results indicate an independent association of both IL-1B(3954)-SNP and red complex bacterial species with increased IL-1β levels in GCF of periodontitis sites. A better understanding of the interaction between genetics, bacteria, and inflammation is essential to develop more effective diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tools for periodontitis.

Project description:BackgroundEndometriosis is an estrogen-dependent and chronic inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of women. It is the result of a combined interaction of genetic, epigenetic, environmental, lifestyle, reproductive and local inflammatory factors. In this study, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to TNF-alpha (TNF, rs1800629) and IL-1beta (IL1B, rs1143634) and variable number tandem repeat polymorphism mapping to IL1-Ra (IL1RN intron 2, rs2234663) genetic loci are associated with risk for endometriosis in a Mexican mestizo population.MethodsThis study included 183 women with confirmed endometriosis (ENDO) diagnosed after surgical laparoscopy and 186 women with satisfied parity and without endometriosis as controls (CTR). PCR/RFLP technique was used for genotyping SNPs (rs1800629 and rs1143634); PCR for genotyping rs2234663.ResultsWe found no statistical differences in age between groups nor among stages of endometriosis and the CTR group. We observed no difference in genotype and allele frequencies, nor carriage rate between groups in none of the three studied polymorphisms. The prevalence of TNF*2-allele heterozygotes (p = 0.025; OR 3.8), TNF*2-allele (p = 0.029; OR 3.4), IL1B*2-allele heterozygotes (p = 0.044; OR 2.69) and its carriage rate (p = 0.041; OR 2.64) in endometriosis stage IV was higher than the CTR group. Surprisingly, the carriage rate of IL1RN*2-allele (ENDO: p = 0.0004; OR 0.4; stage I: p = 0.002, OR 0.38; stage II: p = 0.002, OR 0.35; stage III: p = 0.003, OR 0.33), as well as the IL1RN*2-allele frequencies (ENDO: p = 0.0008, OR 0.55; I: p = 0.037, OR 0.60; II: p = 0.002, OR 0.41; III: p = 0.003, OR 0.38) were lower than the CTR group. Women with endometriosis stage IV (severe) had frequencies more alike to the CTR group in the IL1RN*2 allele frequency (31.2% vs. 27.2%) and carriage rate (37.5% vs. 41.9%).ConclusionAlthough these polymorphisms are not associated with the risk of endometriosis, Mexican mestizo women with severe stage of endometriosis have higher frequencies of TNF*2-, IL1B*2- and IL1RN*2-alleles, which may explain a possible correlation with disease severity rather than predisposition or risk.
