Family studies have demonstrated striking differences between individuals in their ability to produce IL-10 following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of whole blood cultures in vitro, suggesting that differences in IL-10 production involve a considerable hereditary component. The first aim of this study was to analyse the possible effect of IL-10 genotypes and haplotypes on IL-10 plasma levels in a healthy Finnish population. As previous reports have demonstrated that endogenously produced IL-1 induces LPS-stimulated IL-10 production and that IL-10 inhibits synthesis of IL-1 in human monocytes, it is apparent that these two cytokines form an autoregulatory feedback loop. Secondly, we were interested whether any relationship could be found between IL-10 and IL-1beta in vivo. To examine this, the influence of IL-1alpha -889, IL-1beta -511 and IL-1Ra VNTR genotypes and IL-10 genotypes/haplotypes (ACC, GCC and ATA) on IL-10 plasma levels, and a putative correlation between IL-10 and IL-1alpha plasma levels were analysed. Four hundred adult blood samples were obtained from the Finnish Red Cross Blood Transfusion Centre, Tampere. The IL-10, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-1Ra gene polymorphisms were analysed using PCR. IL-1beta and IL-10 plasma levels were measured using an ELISA method. Our results indicated that increased IL-10 plasma levels were associated with the ATA haplotype (p = 0.03) and, surprisingly, with the IL-1alpha allele 2 carrier status (p = 0.02) in healthy individuals. This IL-1alpha 2+/ATA+ combination was found in 93 subjects out of 400 analysed (23%) and was associated with significantly high IL-10 plasma levels (p = 0.002). When individuals were classified into three groups, with no detectable IL-10 plasma levels (n = 145), with moderate levels (n = 152) and with high levels (n = 100) of IL-10, the IL-1alpha2+/ATA+ combination was more likely present among those with high levels than among those with undetectable levels of IL-10 (OR = 3.3, 95% CI 1.8 - 6.0, p < 0.001) or those with moderate levels of IL-10 (OR = 2.0, 95% CI 1.2 - 3.6, p = 0.012). Besides the observed association between IL-1alpha genotype and IL-10 levels, a moderate correlation was found between IL-10 and IL-1beta levels (r = 0.6, p = 0.01) among IL-10 producers (n = 252). The present findings suggest that the genotype combination of IL-1alpha 2+/ATA+ has a regulatory effect on basal IL-10 levels and that among individuals with measurable IL-10 plasma levels, IL-1beta and IL-10 basal levels correlate. Until now, data on the feedback loop between IL-1 and IL-10 cytokines have been based on studies in vitro, but now our results suggest that this relationship may also exist in vivo. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder, with a considerable genetic influence on susceptibility and disease course. Cytokines play an important role in MS pathophysiology, and genes encoding various cytokines are logical candidates to assess possible associations with MS susceptibility and disease course. We previously reported an association of a combination of polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL)-1B and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) genes (i.e. IL-1RN allele 2+/IL-1B(+3959)allele 2-) with disease severity in MS. Extending this observation, we investigated whether IL-1beta and IL-1ra production differed depending on carriership of this gene combination. METHODS: Twenty MS patients and 20 controls were selected based upon carriership of the specific combination. In whole blood, in vitro IL-1beta and IL-1ra production was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay after 6 and 24 h of stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. RESULTS: Carriers of the specific combination produced more IL-1ra, especially in MS patients, although not significantly. IL-1ra production was significantly higher in individuals homozygous for IL-1RN allele 2. In patients, Il-1ra production was higher and IL-1beta production lower compared with controls. In primary progressive patients, the IL-1beta /IL-1ra ratio was significantly lower than in relapsing-remitting patients. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest higher in vitro IL-1ra production in carriers of IL-1RN allele 2, with an indication of an allelic dose-effect relationship. 相似文献

A rare allele combination of the interleukin-1 gene complex is associated with high interleukin-1 beta plasma levels in healthy individuals 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Increases in the plasma levels of the inflammatory cytokines can be detected in various infectious and inflammatory diseases, but in healthy individuals these levels are in most cases low or undetectable. There is now increasing evidence that genes of the inflammatory cytokines are polymorphic and the various alleles may differ in their capability to produce the cytokine. We have measured the plasma levels IL-1 beta of 400 healthy blood donors and correlated these to the genotype (biallelelic base exchanges at the position - 889 of the IL-1 alpha gene, and at the position - 511 of the IL-1 beta gene and the pentaallelic VNTR in the second intron of the IL-1Ra gene). The median concentration of IL-1 beta was 5.8 pg/ml (upper and lower quartiles 2.2-13.6). The polymorphisms of the IL-1 beta and IL-1 Ra genes did not have any significant influence on the IL-1 beta levels, but the IL-1 alpha 2.2 homozygotes (32/400 blood donors) had significantly elevated levels (median 7.0 pg/ml, quartiles 2.2-22.4, one-way ANOVA p < 0.008 as compared to the IL-1 alpha 1.1 homozygotes and p < 0.02 as compared to the IL-1 alpha 1.2 heterozygotes). This effect of IL-1 alpha 2.2 homozygosity was more pronounced in donors, who also were carriers of the IL-1 beta allele 2. Thus these data suggest that this allele combination has a regulatory effect on basal IL-1 beta production. 相似文献

Emerging evidence from preclinical and clinical studies has shown that interleukin-12 (IL-12) has some effectiveness against endogenously arising brain tumor. The aim of this study was to investigate interactions of IL-12A and IL-12B polymorphisms on the risk of brain tumor. We analyzed IL-12A rs2243115 and IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphisms in 170 patients with brain tumor and 222 healthy controls in a Chinese population using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay and DNA sequencing method. Individuals carrying a G allele of IL-12A rs2243115 had a significantly higher risk of developing brain tumor compared with those carrying a T allele (odds ratio [OR]=2.01, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-3.45). After stratification analysis according to tumor types, a similarly higher risk was detected in patients with glioma (OR=2.56, 95% CI, 1.25-5.21). When gene-gene interactions were examined, carriers at both loci rs2243115 TG/GG and rs3212227 AC/CC had a 2.62-fold increased risk of glioma compared with those with rs2243115 TT and rs3212227 AC/CC genotypes (OR=2.62, 95% CI, 1.05-6.50). This study provides evidence that IL-12A rs2243115 may be associated with the risk of brain tumor. Additionally, gene-gene interactions of IL-12A rs2243115 and IL-12B rs3212227 may contribute to brain tumor susceptibility. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are determining factors in the immune and inflammatory responses to tumors cells. Experimental data suggest that interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 play important roles in the development and progression of breast cancer. We designed a broad study to investigate the susceptibility and prognostic implications of the genetic variation in IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 in breast carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used the polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme digestion to characterize the genetic variation of IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 in 305, unrelated Tunisian patients with breast carcinoma and 200 healthy control subjects. Associations between the genetic markers and the clinicopathological parameters, the specific overall survival rate (OVS) of breast carcinoma and the disease free-survival rate (DFS) were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Both IL-6 (-597) GA and IL-6 (-174) GC heterozygous genotypes were found to be significantly associated with breast carcinoma (OR = 1.59, p = 0.024 and OR = 1.61, p = 0.022 respectively). A highly significant association was found between the (+3954) T allele of IL1-B gene and the aggressive phenotype of breast carcinoma as defined by the high histological grade, axillary lymph node metastasis and large tumor size. The IL-1alpha (-889) TT homozygous genotype showed a significant association with reduced disease-free survival and/or overall survival rate. The IL-1beta (+3954) TT, IL-6 (-597) GG and IL-6 (-174) GG homozygous genotypes were found to be associated with reduced DFS but not with overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: The polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-6 gene may represent a marker for the increased risk of breast carcinoma. Genetic variations in IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6 may predict the clinical outcome of breast carcinoma. 相似文献

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism affects the progression of chronic renal failure
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) involves an inflammatory process. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and interleukin-1beta gene polymorphisms affect susceptibility to the disease in several inflammatory diseases. We investigated whether these polymorphisms are involved in ESRD by genotyping DNA from 602 dialyzed patients and 433 controls with polymerase chain reaction and digestion with restriction endonuclease. Allele 2 of the IL-1Ra VNTR polymorphism was associated with ESRD (OR=1.46, 95% CI 1.19-1.78). We also found a strong association between this allele and recurrent peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. Odds ratio for the risk allele was higher compared to entire ESRD group (OR=3.6, 95% CI 1.70-7.44). The homozygosity for the allele 2 was associated with disease progression, especially in patients with diabetic nephropathy and glomerulonephritis. For the patients from these two subgroups having 2.2 genotype, the mean time from disease onset to ESRD was 1.5 and 2.2 years, respectively, compared to 6.4 and 9.8 years for those with 1.1 genotype. The IL-1Ra allele 2 is associated with ESRD in our dialyzed patients. Our results demonstrate for the first time the association of the IL-1Ra allele 2 with faster progression to ESRD. If confirmed in other populations, it might be a predictor of faster disease progression. 相似文献

Imbalance production between interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) in bronchial asthma 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Mao XQ Kawai M Yamashita T Enomoto T Dake Y Sasaki S Kataoka Y Fukuzumi T Endo K Sano H Aoki T Kurimoto F Adra CN Shirakawa T Hopkin JM 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2000,276(2):607-612
Genes of the IL-1 family encode three different peptides, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-1Ra, respectively. IL-1 operates through IL-1RI, and is involved in airway inflammation in asthmatic subjects, whereas IL-1Ra appears to be a specific competitive inhibitor of IL-1. All genes are on chromosome 2q12-21 where genomewide searches have identified linkage for asthma. To test whether variants of IL-1 relate to asthma, we conducted a genetic association study in a Japanese population. We show that the A2 allele of IL1RN (encoding IL-1Ra) associates with nonatopic asthma [OR = 5.71, 95% CI: 1.63-19. 8, Pc = 0.007]. Both atopic and nonatopic asthmatics with the A2 allele had significantly lower serum IL-1Ra levels in both types of asthmatics. Peripheral blood cells from asthmatics with A2 alleles, however, produced as much IL-1 as did those with A1 homozygotes. Since Th1 and Th2 cytokines differentially regulate the ratio between IL-1beta and IL-1Ra, these findings suggest that dysregulation of IL-1beta/IL-1Ra, probably due to interaction between epithelium and immuno-competent cells in the airway, is important in asthma inflammation. 相似文献

IL-1beta is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with multiple biological effects and is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, and IL-1RN has been shown to be associated with enhanced IL-1beta production in vitro. Recently, it was reported that the pro-inflammatory genotypes, IL-1B -31 C/+ and IL-1RN *2/*2, were associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer in a Caucasian population. We tested the association between the polymorphisms and 190 gastric cancer, 117 duodenal ulcer, and 172 healthy subjects as controls in the Korean population. The allele frequency of IL-1B -31 C was more prevalent in Korean (51%) than in Caucasian (30%), while the frequency of IL-1RN *2 allele was less in Korean (6%) than in Caucasian (27%). Using the IL-1B TT genotype as a reference group, the CC genotype was not associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer or duodenal ulcer in the Korean population (odds ratios (OR)=0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.50-1.64; OR=0.72, 95% CI=0.36-1.46, respectively). Similarly, IL-1RN*2 was not a risk genotype for either gastric cancer or duodenal ulcer. No association was recognized on the haplotype analysis of the two genes, either. Our results did not support the previous report that IL-1B -31 C/IL-1RN*2 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. The lack of association with duodenal ulcer also suggested that the polymorphisms were not directly related to the acid-secreting capability. 相似文献

Interleukin-1beta and receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) gene polymorphisms and the prediction of the risk of end-stage renal disease. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of kidney disease and its progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Inflammation is regulated by the genes of the interleukin 1 (IL-1) gene cluster. Therefore, it was hypothesized that a polymorphism in this gene cluster may be associated with the risk of ESRD. Polymorphisms in the IL-1 gene cluster were examined in a cohort of 222 ESRD patients and 206 controls of similar ethnicity. These individuals were genotyped for IL-1 beta (promoter -511 and exon-5 +3953) genes and a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in the IL-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL-1Ra). There was significant difference in genotype frequencies between ESRD patients and control group for IL-1beta (promoter region and exon-5) and IL-1Ra gene polymorphism (p < 0.001, 0.006 and < 0.001, respectively). A significant difference was observed in IL-1Ra for 1/1 (410/410) and 1/2 (410/240) genotypes, and the risk for ESRD was higher in those carrying the 1/1 genotype (p = 0.014, OR = 1.692, and p < 0.001, OR = 0.163). Also identified was a novel, rare allele of a single copy of 86 bp in ESRD patients as compared with the controls. The haplotype 'T-E2-1' frequency distribution between patients and controls revealed greater than threefold risk (p = 0.001, OR = 3.572, 95% CI = 1.589-8.032). Genetic linkage between the IL-1beta promoter region and exon-5 and between the IL-1beta promoter and IL-1Ra of IL-1 gene demonstrated a strong association among the variants in controls (D' = 0.42, p < 0.001, and D' = 0.39, p=0.001). Thus, the three polymorphisms within the IL-1 cluster are associated with ESRD. This finding is perhaps one of the strongest associations between genotype and ESRD reported, and it suggests that the IL-1 gene cluster affects the risk of development of ESRD. 相似文献

A single type of high-affinity binding sites for IL-1 beta was identified in the rat hypothalamus (Kd = 1.0 +/- 0.2 nM) and cerebral cortex (Kd = 1.3 +/- 0.2 nM), but not in the pituitary. The maximum binding capacity (Bmax) in the hypothalamus (Bmax = 75.4 +/- 10.8 fmol/mg protein) was 4 times greater than in the cerebral cortex (Bmax = 17.2 +/- 1.5 fmol/mg protein). Neither various neuropeptides nor IL-2 appeared to influence the binding of [125I]IL-1 beta to the hypothalamic membrane preparations. The potency of unlabeled IL-1 alpha to replace the binding of [125I]IL-1 beta to the hypothalamic membrane preparations was considerably less than that of unlabeled IL-1 beta. These findings indicate that IL-1 beta receptors are heterogeneously distributed in the central nervous system and that IL-1 alpha does not bind with IL-1 beta receptors in the brain. 相似文献

Interleukin 1alpha (IL-1alpha) and IL-1beta, and the endogenous IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) are known members of the IL-1 family. Using in situ hybridization histochemistry we demonstrated that following endotoxin injection (lipopolysaccharides, LPS, 2.0 mg/kg, i.p.) a time dependent expression and partly different expression patterns of the cytokines occurred within the rat brain and pituitary gland. All cytokines were observed in the choroid plexus. In addition, IL-1ra mRNA expressing cells were observed scattered in the brain parenchyma, whereas scattered IL-1beta mRNA expressing cells were restricted to central thalamic nuclei, the dorsal hypothalamus, and cortical regions, such as the parietal and frontal cortex. A strong IL-1beta mRNA expression was found in the circumventricular organs. In the pituitary gland, a low IL-1alpha and a high IL-1beta mRNA expression was observed, with the highest density of cytokine-expressing cells seen in the posterior pituitary. The cell types expressing the mRNA's of IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-1ra were identified as monocytes in the circumventricular organs and the pituitary gland, and as microglia in the brain parenchyma. In conclusion, the present findings revealed that cytokine production in response to a peripheral endotoxin challenge mainly occurs in peripherally derived monocytes in the circumventricular organs and the pituitary gland. IL-1beta is the predominant form expressed, whereas the expression of IL-1alpha mRNA and IL-1ra mRNA is lower. Our observations support the view that peripherally derived IL-1 may play a role in the induction of centrally mediated illness symptoms. 相似文献

The solute carrier family 11 member 1 (SLC11A1) protein plays important roles in macrophage activation and displays pleiotropic effects on various macrophage functions, including the regulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), and oxidative burst. Considering the important roles of macrophage in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we hypothesized that the SLC11A1 gene may act as a low-penetrance susceptibility gene for COPD. To test this hypothesis, we first examined the frequencies of 12 candidate polymorphisms in the SLC11A1 gene in 27 healthy Korean individuals, and then genotyped 3 haplotype-tagging polymorphisms [IVS4 + 14G > C (rs3731865), D543 N (rs17235409), and (*)86A > G (rs1059823)] in 83 COPD patients and 203 healthy controls. Individuals with at least one variant allele of the D543 N and (*)86A > G polymorphisms were at a significantly increased risk for COPD compared with carriers with each homozygous wild-type allele [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.24-4.02, P = 0.007; and adjusted OR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.10-3.35, P = 0.022, respectively]. Consistent with the findings of the genotyping analysis, the 122 haplotype carrying both the 543 N and (*)86G alleles was associated with a significantly increased risk for COPD compared with the 111 haplotype with the 542D and (*)86A alleles (adjusted OR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.19-3.51, P = 0.009 and Bonferroni corrected P = 0.027). These findings suggest that the SLC11A1 polymorphisms could be used as markers for genetic susceptibility to COPD. However, further studies with large numbers of subjects are needed to confirm our findings. 相似文献

Published data on the association between CYP1A1 gene polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk are conflicting and heterogeneous. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed for heterozygous, homozygous, dominant model, recessive model and allele, respectively. A total of 15 case-control studies were identified, among which, 13 studies (1815 cases and 3501 controls) were eligible for CYP1A1 Ile(462)Val and nine studies (2495 cases and 3553 controls) were eligible for CYP1A1 Msp1. Overall, Ile(462)Val was significantly associated with ovarian cancer, with homozygous carriers (Val/Val vs. Ile/Ile: OR=2.64; 95% CI: 1.63-4.28) and recessive model (Val/Val vs. Ile/Ile and Ile/Val: OR=2.30; 95% CI: 1.45-3.65) being risk factors for ovarian cancer development. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased risks were found for Caucasians (homozygous carriers: OR=4.91; 95% CI: 2.07-11.66; recessive model: OR=3.26; 95% CI: 1.41-7.50) and Asians (homozygous carriers: OR=3.06; 95% CI: 1.48-6.33; recessive model: OR=2.75; 95% CI: 1.40-5.41; Val allele: OR=1.67; 95% CI: 1.19-2.35). However, no significant associations were found between Msp1 and ovarian cancer in the overall analyses or the subgroup analyses by ethnicity. This meta-analysis denotes the importance for in-depth research regarding of gene-gene, gene-environment interactions, race-specific and histological subtypes specific to obtain a more conclusive response about the function of CYP1A1 in ovarian cancer. 相似文献

To assess the role that polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 genes play in genetic predisposition to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the allele and genotype distributions of CYPIA1 (2455 A/G, 3801T/C) and CYP1A2 (-2464T/delT, -163C/A) genes were studied in Tatar and Russian COPD patients and in cases of healthy individuals (Russian, Tatar and Bashkir), residents of Bashkortostan. It was shown that the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes haplotypes frequency distribution patterns do not differed between Tatars and Russians ethnic groups (chi2 = 0.973, df = 3, p = 1.00 and chi2 = 1.546, df = 3, p = 0.92, respectively). Analysis of the the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes haplotypes revealed statistically significant differences in the haplotypes frequency distributions between Bashkirs versus Russians and Tatars (chi2 = 12.328, df= 3,p = 0.008; chi2 = 9.218, df=3, p = 0.034, respectively for CYP1A1 gene and (chi2 = 18.779, df=3, p = 0.0001, chi = 14.326, df=3, p = 0.003, respectively for CYP1A2 gene). The (-2467)delT allele and CYP1A2*1D haplotype of CYPIA2 gene was associated with higher risk of COPD in Tatar ethnic group (OR = 1.83, 95% CI 1.24-2.71, chi2 = 9.48, p = 0.003 and chi2 = 9.733, p = 0.0027, Pcor = 0.008; OR = 3.908, 95% CI 1.56-10.19, respectively). On the other hand the CYP1A2*1A haplotype had protective effect (chi2 = 6.319, p = 0.0127, Pcor = 0.038; OR = 0.6012, 95% CI 0.402-0.898). But at the same time we did not find any differences in the genotypes and haplotypes frequency distributions of the CYP1A2 gene within the patients and healthy groups in Russian ethnic group. We also did not find any association of CYP1A1 gene with COPD in ethnic groups of Bashkortostan. 相似文献

Recently, a polymorphism in intron 4 (G/A) of the programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1) gene was shown to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk in familial and sporadic patients of European, European American, and Mexican origin. In this investigation, we examined the role of this polymorphism in 311 SLE patients (276 European Americans and 35 African Americans) and 390 age-matched healthy controls (359 European Americans and 31 African Americans). The frequency of the A allele was significantly higher in European American controls than in African American controls (0.107 vs. 0.048; P=0.046). There was no significant difference in the frequency of the A allele between SLE cases and controls in either the European American (0.107 vs. 0.129; P=0.84) or African American (0.048 vs. 0.100; P=0.25) cohort. However, after adjustment for the status of the antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) in the logistic regression analysis, the risk for SLE associated with the PDCD1 polymorphism was statistically significant. The APA-adjusted odds ratio (OR) between A allele carriers (AA + AG genotypes) versus the GG genotype showed a modest association with SLE risk in European Americans (OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.02–2.27; P=0.039), African Americans (OR=2.89, 95% CI: 0.61–13.76; P=0.183), and the ethnicity-combined sample (OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.08–2.34; P=0.019). Furthermore, we observed that the A allele carriers were protected against the occurrence of APA in both controls (OR=0.399, 95% CI: 0.19–0.82; P=0.0098) and SLE cases (OR=0.566, 95% CI: 0.32–1.01; P=0.054). Our data indicate polymorphism in intron 4 of the PDCD1 gene affects the occurrence of APA and may slightly modify the risk of sporadic SLE. 相似文献

The cytokine interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) plays an important role in host defence reactions and neuro-immune interactions but it is still not clear which of the two interleukin 1 receptor subtypes is coupled to activation of neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) by IL-1beta. To investigate involvement of neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) in central IL-1beta effects we used P(2)fractions of brain cerebral cortex from wild-type mice and mice deficient in the type 1 IL-1 receptor. IL-1beta (human, recombinant) was shown to activate, in a dose-dependent manner, nSMase in the P(2)brain fraction of the wild-type mice while in the knock-out mice the stimulatory effect of IL-1beta on nSMase was absent. In the presence of an IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), IL-1beta did not activate nSMase either in the cortex of wild-type or knock-out mice. These data suggest that nSMase, a key enzyme of the sphingomyelin signal transduction pathway, might be involved in IL-1beta signalling in the brain and that activation of the enzyme requires the IL-1 receptor type 1. 相似文献

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is one of the most common causes of inflammatory arthritis, with an estimated prevalence of 0.1-0.9%. Genetic factors have been strongly implicated in its aetiology, and heritability as assessed by twin studies has been estimated to be >90%. HLA- B27 is almost essential for inheritance of AS; it is not merely sufficient for explaining the pattern of familial recurrence of the disease. This study's purpose is to investigate the association of ankylosing spondylitis with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-1 family: IL-1a (-889C/T) rs1800587, IL-1b (-511C/T) rs16944, IL-1b (+3962C/T) rs1143634, IL-1R (Pst-1 1970C/T) rs2234650 and IL-1RA (Mspa-1 11100C/T) rs315952. 99 unrelated Iranian AS patients and 217 healthy control subjects were selected. Cytokine typing was performed by the polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers assay. The allele and genotype frequencies of the polymorphisms were determined: The IL1α rs1800587, IL1β rs16944 and IL1β rs1143634 were not significantly associated with AS. Genotype frequencies at IL1R rs2234650 differed between cases and controls (χ(2)=8.85; p=0.01); the IL1R rs2234650 C/T and T/T genotypes were less common in AS patients than controls. The IL1R rs2234650 C/T genotype was inversely associated with AS comparing with the IL1R rs2234650 C/C genotype (OR=0.48; p=0.005). IL1R rs2234650 C/T genotype was less common in patients than controls (OR=0.37; p=0.02).Furthermore IL1R rs2234650 T allele was strongly associated with HLA-B2702 patients rather than HLA-B2705 but was not associated with HLA-B27 negative patients (OR=0.33; p=0.01). Polymorphisms of IL1α rs1800587, IL1β rs16944 and IL1β rs1143634 were not significantly associated with ankylosing spondylitis but inversely in this study IL1R rs2234650 was significantly associated and carriage of T allele in IL1R rs2234650 seems to be protective, while carriage of C allele result in two fold higher risk of developing AS. 相似文献

Many epidemiological studies have investigated the associations between polymorphisms of interleukin-1 (IL1) and interleukin-6 (IL6) genes and risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but no conclusions are available because of conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships by meta-analysis. The databases of Pubmed, Embase and Wangfang, updated to August 1st, 2011, were retrieved. Odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) as effect size were calculated by a fixed- or random-effect model. In total, three case-control studies for IL1α-889C/T, eight studies for IL1β-511C/T, eight studies for IL1-Ra and seven studies for IL6-147G/C were included in this meta-analysis. Combined analysis indicated that IL1β-511C/T polymorphism was not overall associated with risk of IS [OR (95% CI)=1.22 (0.85-1.87) for TT vs. CC]. However, when subgroup analyses for countries were conducted, the results indicated that T allele was associated with increased risk of IS for Polish and associated with a trend of increased risk of IS for Chinese although it did not reach statistical significance [TT vs. CC: OR (95% CI)=1.97 (1.22-3.17) for Polish and 1.40 (0.99-1.99) for Chinese]. In addition, overall and subgroup analyses indicated that IL1α-889C/T, IL1-Ra and IL6-147G/C polymorphisms were also not associated with risk of IS [OR (95% CI)=1.21 (0.86-1.70) for TT vs. CC of IL1α-889C/T, 1.22 (0.85-1.75) for RN2/RN2 vs. RN1/RN1 for IL1-Ra and 1.09 (0.84-1.40) for G carriers vs. C carriers for IL6-147G/C]. This study inferred that IL1β-511C/T polymorphism might be moderately associated with increased risk of IS, but no sufficient evidence was available to support any associations between IL1-Ra and IL6-147G/C polymorphisms and IS. We could not draw a conclusion between IL1α-889C/T polymorphism and risk of IS based on the limited data, and further large sample-sized studies were required. 相似文献

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder. Although its exact cause is unknown, it is widely accepted that environmental factors and genes integrate in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. 19q13, which contains IL-28B, is a newly identified potential susceptibility locus. IL-28B is a cytokine that functionally has anti-viral activity, but, structurally, is related to the interleukin-10 family. Both virus infection and cytokine changes have been documented in schizophrenia. We selected the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs8099917, which is associated with IL-28B gene expression, to study its relationship to the susceptibility to schizophrenia. A total of 256 Chinese patients with schizophrenia and 329 healthy controls were studied. Both genotype and allele frequencies showed significant differences between patients and normal subjects (p=0.03 and p=0.04, respectively). Our study suggested that the frequency of allele T was a risk factor for the susceptibility of schizophrenia (odds ratio [OR]=1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.03-3.03). When all subjects were grouped by symptoms, both the genotype and the allele frequency were associated with patients having disorganized speech (genotype: χ(2)=5.75, p=0.02; allele: χ(2)=5.41, p=0.02, OR=3.67, 95% CI=1.14-11.82) and negative symptoms (genotype: χ(2)=5.09, p=0.02; allele: χ(2)=4.80, p=0.03, OR=1.95, 95% CI=1.06-3.56) as well as cognitive symptoms (genotype: χ(2)=5.97, p=0.02; allele: χ(2)=5.53, p=0.02, OR=2.04, 95% CI=1.11-3.74). The results in this study may lead to a better understanding of the etiology of schizophrenia. 相似文献
