Correlation analysis of IL-11 polymorphisms and Hirschsprung disease subtype susceptibility in Southern Chinese Children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a hereditary defect, which is characterized by the absence of enteric ganglia and is frequently concurrent with Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC). However, the pathogenesis for HSCR is complicated and remains unclear. Recent studies have shown that pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-11 (IL-11) are involved in the enteric nervous system's progress. It was found that IL-11 SNPs (rs8104023 and rs4252546) are associated with HSCR in the Korean population waiting for replication in an independent cohort. This study evaluated the relationship between IL-11 and the susceptibility of patients to HSCR by performing subphenotype interaction examination, HAEC pre-/post-surgical patient-only association analysis, and independence testing.

Methods

In this study, a cohort consisting of children from Southern China, comprising 1470 cases and 1473 controls, was chosen to examine the relationship between two polymorphisms (rs8104023 and rs4252546 in IL-11) and susceptibility to HSCR by replication research, subphenotype association analysis, and independence testing.

Results

The results showed that IL-11 gene polymorphisms (rs8104023 and rs4252546) are not associated with the risk of HSCR in the Chinese population. The results of both short-segment and long-segment (S-HSCR and L-HSCR) surgery (3.34???OR???4.05, 0.02???P???0.04) showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs8104023 is associated with susceptibility to HAEC.

Conclusions

This study explored the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to HAEC in HSCR subtypes for the first time. These findings should be replicated in a larger and multicentre study.

Project description:Hepatoblastoma is one of the malignant liver tumors in children. However, genetic mechanisms underpinning the initiation of hepatoblastoma remain largely unclear. The previous study showed that lin-28 homolog B (LIN28B) might play a role in the development of hepatoblastoma. To detect the association between LIN28B gene polymorphisms and hepatoblastoma risk in Chinese children, we conducted a five-center case-control study of 275 hepatoblastoma patients and 1018 cancer-free controls. Four potentially functional polymorphisms were genotyped using the Taqman method. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the associations. We found that the rs314276 C>A polymorphism (AA vs. CC: adjusted OR=2.05, 95% CI=1.36-3.10, P=0.0006; AA vs. CA/CC: adjusted OR=2.11, 95% CI=1.43-3.12, P=0.0002) and rs9404590 T>G (GG vs. TT: adjusted OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.20-3.00, P=0.007; GG vs. TT/TG: adjusted OR=1.87, 95% CI=1.20-2.92, P=0.006) were associated with increased hepatoblastoma risk. Combination analysis of risk genotypes showed that patients with four risk genotypes had a higher chance of developing hepatoblastoma than carriers of 1 to 3 risk genotypes. Stratification analysis showed the significant association between the rs314276 AA genotype and hepatoblastoma risk in both age and sex groups, as well as clinical stages III+IV cases. The rs9404590 GG genotype was associated with hepatoblastoma risk in participants' ?17 months, in females, and for those with clinical stages III+IV disease. Furthermore, four risk genotypes confer higher hepatoblastoma susceptibility in both age and sex groups, as well as groups with clinical stages III+IV disease. Genotype-based gene expression analysis confirmed that the rs9404590 T>G polymorphism was significantly associated with altered LIN28B gene expression. We further validated our findings using false-positive probability analysis. This finding suggested that LIN28B gene polymorphisms may be associated with an increased predisposition to hepatoblastoma.
