Genetic variations of IL-10: Identification of novel variations and evaluation of the impact of the SNPs/haplotype in the promoter region with the progression of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Indian population

Association of interleukin-10 rs1800896, rs1800872, and interleukin-6 rs1800795 polymorphisms with squamous cell carcinoma risk: A meta-analysis

The relationship between interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has been demonstrated but with inconsistent conclusions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential associations of IL gene polymorphisms and the SCC risk. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Database, WanFang, and China Science and Technology Journal Database databases were searched for articles reporting the correlations of IL-10 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms with the SCC risk. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated using Stata Version 11.2. Meta-regression, sensitivity, and publication bias were analyzed. False-positive reporting probability and Bayesian measure of the false-discovery probability were used to explore the credibility of the calculation. Twenty-three articles were included. The IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism showed a significant correlation with the SCC risk in the overall analysis. Studies pooled by ethnicity revealed that the IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism reduced the SCC risk in the Caucasian population. The results of this study suggest that the IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism may confer a genetic susceptibility to SCC, particularly oral SCC, in Caucasians. However, the IL-10 rs1800896 or IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism was not significantly associated with the SCC risk.

Role of Interleukin-10 Promoter Polymorphisms in Oral Cancer Susceptibility: A Meta-Analysis

Role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter polymorphisms in the risk of oral cancer (OC) remains controversial. The present study aimed to explore the relation between IL10 promoter polymorphisms and the progression of oral cancer by performing meta-analysis. Seven studies with a total of 2141 controls and 1928 cases were included in our analysis. Overall results showed significant associations between IL-10-1082A/G gene polymorphism and OC susceptibility under all five models. However, OC was not significantly related to the IL-10-592A/C or -819 T/C polymorphism (p > 0.05).

Association between interleukin-10 gene polymorphisms and risk of oral carcinoma: A meta-analysis

BACKGROUND

The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene have been linked with the risk of oral carcinoma (OC) in a relatively small sample size. Our study aims to investigate the pooled associations by conducting a meta-analysis of published studies.

METHODS

PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases were searched to identify eligible studies published in English before October 2019. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess association. The publication bias was detected by Begg's test. Sensitivity and cumulative analyses were performed to evaluate the stability of crude results.

RESULTS

The meta-analysis involved eight studies. Significant associations were certified between IL-10 gene -1082A/G polymorphism and susceptibility of OC for A vs. G (OR=1.817, 95% CI: 1.481-2.230), AA vs. GG (OR=3.436, 95% CI: 2.281-5.175), dominant genetic model (OR=2.913, 95% CI: 1.939-4.376), and recessive genetic model (OR=1.886, 95% CI: 1.372-2.594) in overall population, East Asians and South Asians. In addition, the significant association between -592A/C polymorphism of the gene and susceptibility of OC were detected in South Asians.

CONCLUSIONS

The meta-analysis results support that the IL-10 gene -1082G allele is a risk factor for OC in East Asians and South Asians, and IL-10 gene -592C allele is a protective factor for the disease.

Common Polymorphisms of Interleukin-10 (-1082A/G, -592A/C, and -819C/T) in Oral Cancers: An Updated Meta-Analysis

The mechanisms of genetic alteration are checked to be responsible for the oral cancer incidence. Herein, this meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between -1082A/G, -592A/C, and -819T/C polymorphisms of interleukin (IL)-10 and susceptibility to oral cancer. We systematically searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases until May 2019 to find the studies reporting the association between the IL-10 polymorphisms and the oral cancer risk. Rev Man 5.3 software was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The CMA (version 2.0) software showed the results of publication bias. In addition, SPSS (version 22.0) was used for meta-regression analysis. Out of 8 studies included in this meta-analysis, 7, 6, and 5 studies reported -1082A/G, -592A/C, and -819T/C polymorphisms, respectively. The pooled ORs of the allele, homozygote, heterozygote, dominant, and recessive models were 1.64 (95% CI: 1.26-2.13), 2.99 (95% CI: 1.32-6.79), 1.64 (95% CI: 1.16-2.33), 1.77 (95% CI: 1.25-2.49), and 2.44 (95% CI: 1.21-4.92), respectively, showing a significant association for -1082A/G polymorphism, but not for -592A/C, and -819T/C polymorphisms with the risk of oral cancer. However, subgroup analysis showed an association for -592A/C polymorphisms, Caucasian ethnicity, and hospital-based controls. In summary, the findings of this meta-analysis illustrated an elevated risk of oral cancer related to -1082A/G polymorphism, but there was no association between -592A/C and -819C/T polymorphisms and the risk of oral cancer.
