Interleukin-10 -1082A/G polymorphism is associated with the development of acute pancreatitis in a Chinese population

We conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between IL-10 gene polymorphism (-1082A/G, -819T/C, and -592A/C) and risk of acute pancreatitis in a Chinese population. A total of 240 patients with proven acute pancreatitis and 240 control subjects were collected between May 2012 and January 2015. Genotyping of the IL-10-1082A/G, -819T/C, and -592A/C gene polymorphisms was conducted by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. By univariate logistic regression analysis, patients with acute pancreatitis were more likely to have higher BMI (OR=2.12, 95% CI=1.45-3.12; P<0.001) and have a habit of alcohol drinking (OR=2.01, 95% CI=1.37-2.95; P<0.001). There were significant differences in the genotype distributions of IL-10-1082A/G between patients with acute pancreatitis and control subjects (χ²=9.97, P=0.007). By multiple logistic regression analysis, we found that individuals with the GG genotype of IL-10-1082A/G were associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis when compared with the AA genotype (OR=2.32, 95% CI=1.20-4.59; P=0.007). In dominant and recessive models, the IL-10-1082A/G gene polymorphism was significantly correlated with an elevated risk of acute pancreatitis, and the adjusted Ors (95% CI) were 1.50 (1.03-2.20) and 1.99 (1.06-3.79), respectively. However, no significant different was found between IL-10-819T/C and -592A/C gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to acute pancreatitis. In conclusion, we suggest that IL-10-1082A/G gene polymorphisms contribute to the development of acute pancreatitis in codominant, dominant and recessive models.     

Effect of interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms -1082 G/A and -592 C/A on response to therapy in children and adolescents with chronic hepatitis C virus infection

Background and aimStudying predictors of response to therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in children may help avoid the inappropriate use of currently available costly therapy associated with numerous adverse effects. We tested the hypothesis that inheritance of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter gene might influence response to HCV treatment.Patients and methodsThe impact of SNPs, -1082 G/A and -592 C/A, in the promoter region of IL-10 gene, on response to HCV therapy was assessed in a cohort of 40 children treated with a combination of pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) α2b and ribavirin.ResultsSustained virological response was achieved in 48.7%. High viral load was associated with non-response to therapy. There was no association between histopathological degree of inflammation or fibrosis and response to therapy. There was no direct statistically significant association between polymorphisms in the IL-10 gene (-1082G/A and -592 C/A) as regards inflammation or response to therapy in children. As for the SNP -592 C/A; there was a statistically significant association with the score of fibrosis (P < 0.004), concluding that the A allele was protective from moderate and severe fibrosis. Meanwhile the SNP -1082G/A did not show any association with the fibrosis score.ConclusionWe could not associate response to therapy for HCV with IL-10 polymorphisms -1082 G/A and -592 C/A. For the SNP -592 C/A, the A allele protected from moderate and severe fibrosis.     

Association of -592C/A, -819C/T and -1082A/G interleukin-10 promoter polymorphisms with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion

Increasing evidence supports a role for altered T helper 1 (Th1)-Th2 cytokine balance in idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the interleukin 10 (IL-10) promoter polymorphisms -592C/A, -819C/T and -1082A/G with RSA. Women (n = 350) with at least three consecutive spontaneous abortions (RSA cases) and 200 control women with at least two successful pregnancies were included. The frequency of the -819T allele [P = 0.05, odds ratio (OR) = 1.51], but not other single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), was higher among RSA patients. Complete linkage disequilibrium (LD) was seen between -592C and -819C and -1082G alleles, as well as between -592A and -819T and between -819C and -1082G alleles only among patients. Although the genotype frequencies (except for -819C/C) of the three polymorphisms were comparable between patients and controls, higher frequency of -592A/-819T/-1082A haplotype (OR = 4.01, 95% CI = 1.83-7.95) was seen in cases versus controls. Regression analysis indicated that, after adjusting for potential variables, -592C/A (OR = 3.32, 95% CI = 1.76-6.27) and -819C/T (OR = 5.06, 95% CI = 2.59-9.91) were associated with exclusively early but not exclusively late RSA, where negative association for both was noted. This supports the notion of involvement of IL-10-592C/A and -819C/T polymorphisms as inherited risk factors of idiopathic RSA.     

Association between interleukin-10 -1082A/G, -819C/T and -592C/A polymorphisms with deep venous thrombosis

Background

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and inflammation are two closely related entities. The objective of this study was to evaluate a possible association between interleukin-10 (IL-10) -1082A/G, -819C/T and -592C/A polymorphisms with DVT.

Methods

A case-control study was carried out in 660 patients with DVT and 660 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay was applied to identify the polymorphisms mentioned.

Results

Patients with DVT had a significantly lower frequency of IL-10 -1082GG genotype [odds ratio (OR) = 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.39, 0.89; P = 0.01] than healthy controls. When stratifying by family history of DVT, it was found that patients with positive family history of DVT had a significantly lower frequency of IL-10 -1082GG genotype (OR = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.02, 0.95; P = 0.04). When stratifying by smoking status, presence of varicose veins, type 2 diabetes mellitus and any hormone administration before, no significant differences were found in any groups.

Conclusions

This study provides evidence that IL-10 -1082A/G polymorphism associated with risk of DVT. However, no association of the IL-10 -592C/A or -819C/T polymorphism with DVT risk was found. Additional well-designed large studies were required for the validation of our results.     

A meta-analysis about the association between −1082G/A and −819C/T polymorphisms of IL-10 gene and risk of type 2 diabetes

The present meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the association between the −1082G/A and −819C/T polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Relevant articles were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were used to assess the strength of the association between target polymorphisms and the risk of T2DM. Significant associations between the −1082G/A polymorphism and T2DM were found for the allele contrast (OR = 0.90, 95% CI: [0.83, 0.98], P = 0.02), homozygote contrast (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: [0.69, 0.97], P = 0.02), and recessive genetic model (OR = 0.85, 95% CI: [0.74, 0.96], P = 0.01). However, no significant association was found for the dominant genetic model (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: [0.80, 1.05], P = 0.08). The association between −819C/T polymorphism and T2DM was significant for the allele contrast (OR = 0.73, 95% CI: [0.64, 0.84], P < 0.01); however, no significant associations were found for −819C/T in the homozygote contrast (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: [0.38, 2.67], P = 0.99), dominant genetic model (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: [0.50, 1.77], P = 0.86), and recessive genetic model (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: [0.50, 1.68], P = 0.78). No significant publication bias was detected. This meta-analysis suggests that allele A of −1082G/A and allele C of −819C/T in the IL-10 gene have potentially protective effects in terms of risk of T2DM.     

Association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms and the risk of ischemic stroke in a Chinese population

We investigated the possible association between two SNPs of IL-10 (IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C) and the susceptibility to ischemic stroke. Patients with proven ischemic stroke and control subjects were recruited between March 2013 and May 2015. The IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C polymorphisms were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Conditional logistic regression analyses revealed that the GA and the AA genotypes were associated with development of ischemic stroke, and the ORs (95% CI) for the GA and the AA genotypes of IL-10 -1082A/G were 1.49 (1.01-2.19) and 1.83 (1.02-3.29) compared with the GG genotype, respectively. In dominant model, the GA+AA genotype of IL-10 -1082G/A was correlated with increased risk of ischemic stroke compared to the GG genotype (OR=1.56, 95% CI=1.08-2.25). The GA+AA genotype was associated with moderately increased risk of ischemic stroke in smokers (OR=1.72, 95% CI=1.04-2.84). In conclusion, our study suggests that IL-10 gene polymorphisms contribute to the development of ischemic stroke, especially in tobacco smokers.     

Association between the Interleukin-10 -1082 G/A polymorphism and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma

BackgroundInconsistent results have been reported from studies investigating the relationship of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) -1082 G/A polymorphism and the susceptibility of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, a thorough literature review of relatedstudies was performed in this meta-analysis to examine the association of the interleukin-10(IL-10) -1082 G/A polymorphism with HCC susceptibility.MethodsElectronic databases were searched for literature on the relationship between interleukin-10(IL-10) -1082 G/A polymorphism and the risk of HCC in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected studies were analyzed using the Stata 12.0 software. Finally, the strength of the associations was evaluated using the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).ResultsA total of six case-control studies were enrolled into the current meta-analysis, which included a total of 911 patients and 1889 control subjects. Our data revealed no association between the IL-10 -1082 G/A polymorphism and the risk of HCC (GG vs AA:OR=0.84, 95%CI=0.57–1.25; AG vs AA:OR=0.85, 95%CI=0.70–1.05; Dominant model: OR=0.85, 95%CI=0.70–1.03; and Recessive model: OR=0.92, 95%CI = 0.64–1.32). Similarly, no association was found in sub-group analysis based on ethnicity.ConclusionThe results of our study suggest no association between IL-10 -1082 G/A polymorphism and the risk of HCC.     

The combined effect of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-12 polymorphisms on induced cytokine production

Interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-10 are immunoregulatory cytokines with an antagonistic effect of the T-helper (Th)1/Th2 cytokine balance and provide a functional link between innate and adaptive immune responses. The aim of the study was to investigate the combined effect of -1082A*G in IL10 and +16974A*C in IL12B single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on induced cytokine production by stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from healthy donors. The presence of the high-producer IL-12p40 genotype led to diminished production of IL-10 as determined by the -1082*G allele of SNP in IL10. Significantly decreased IL-10 production was detected in AA+AG/GG in comparison with the low-producer IL-12p40 (AC/CC+AG/GG) genotype combination after stimulation with C3bgp (2 +/- 4 vs. 29 +/- 14.2 pg/ml; p = 0.0003) and LPS (33.4 +/- 13.5 vs. 93.3 +/- 59.6 pg/ml; p = 0.019). IL-12p40 production was independent of IL10 genotype. The present results demonstrated that the production of IL-10 from PBMC depended on both -1082A*G in IL10 and +16974A*C in IL12B polymorphisms.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in IL-10, IL-12p40, and IL-13 Genes and Susceptibility to Glioma

Glioma is one of the most aggressive and most common tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) in humans. The exact causes of glioma are not well known, but evidence suggests the involvement of genetic factors in addition to environmental risk factors. The present study aimed to determine whether polymorphisms in IL-10-1082A/G, IL-12p40 1188C/A, and IL-13+2044G/A (rs20541) are associated with the incidence of glioma in Iraqi patients. Ninety-six patients with different grades of glioma and 40 apparently healthy individuals were recruited. A blood sample and genomic DNA were collected from all subjects. The amplification refractory mutation system and sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used for genotyping of IL-10-1082A/G and IL-12p40 1188C/A, respectively; whereas, the IL-13+2044G/A was detected by DNA sequencing after amplification of the genes by PCR.All SNPs were within Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and each appeared in three genotypes in patients and controls. In IL-10-1082A/G, these genotypes frequencies were AA (75%), AG (22.93%) and GG (2.07%) in patients as compared to similar frequencies (62.5%), (27.5%) and (10%) respectively, in controls. The variant IL-12p40 1188C/A genotype was AA (72.92%), AC (23.96%), and CC (3.13%%) in patients as compared to 65%, 30%, and 5%, respectively, in controls. The frequencies of IL-13+2044G/A genotypes (GG, GA, and AA) were 89.58%, 9.37%, and 1.04% among patients versus 47.5%, 32.5% and 20%, respectively, among controls. These results suggest a protective role of mutant alleles G and A in IL-10-1082A/G and IL-13+2044G/A against gliomas. Further studies with more rigorous parameter designs will be needed to confirm the current findings.     

Association between interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms and susceptibility to liver cirrhosis

We conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between three common SNPs in IL-10 gene (rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872) and the development of liver cirrhosis in a Chinese population. Between January 2013 and December 2014, a total of 318 patients with liver cirrhosis and 318 health control subjects were enrolled into our study. The IL-10 rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872 polymorphisms were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). By multivariate logistic regression analysis, we found that individuals with the AA genotype and GA+AA genotype of IL-10 rs1800896 were more likely to have an increased risk of liver cirrhosis when compared with the GG genotype, and the ORs (95% CI) for the AA genotype and GA+AA genotype were 2.04 (1.20-3.50) and 1.41 (1.02-1.96), respectively. We found that the GA+AA genotype of IL-10 rs1800896 had higher risk of liver cirrhosis in individuals with chronic hepatitis B when compared with the GG genotype (OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.01-3.59). In conclusion, we found that IL-10 rs1800896 polymorphism was correlated with an increased risk of liver cirrhosis, especially in individuals with chronic hepatitis B.     

Association between CTLA-4 gene polymorphism and ankylosing spondylitis: a case-control study

Aims: The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between CTLA-4 polymorphisms (+49A/G, -318C/T and CT60A/G) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility. Methods: A total of 120 AS cases and healthy controls, matched on the age and gender, were enrolled in the study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) were used to determine the gentypes of +49A/G, -318C/T and CT60A/G polymorphisms. Genotype distribution in control group was assessed by Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) test. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were adopted to evaluate the relationship of CTLA-4 polymorphisms and AS susceptibility. Results: In our study, genotype distribution of the three polymorphisms in control group was consistent with the HWE (P > 0.05). The genotype analysis showed that AA genotype of + 49A/G polymorphism could increase the risk for AS (OR=2.357, 95% CI=1.127-4.930). Moreover, the frequency of A allele was also presented as a risk factor for AS. Additionally, AA genotype and A allele of CT60A/G appeared to be related with AS susceptibility (OR=2.610, 95% CI=1.047-6.510; OR=1.751, 95% CI=1.160-2.641). However, the T allele of -318C/T appeared to be a protective factor for AS (OR=0.383, 95% CI=0.228-0.643). Conclusion: In summary, there existed significant association between CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms and increased or decreased risk for AS.
