Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) is the causal agent of dengue fever. The symptoms and signs of dengue vary from febrile illness to hemorrhagic syndrome. IFITM3 and TNFA are genes of the innate immune system. Variants IFITM3 (rs12252 T>C) and TNFA (rs1800629 G > A and rs361525 G>A) might alter gene expression and change the course of the disease. Our first objective was to determine whether these variants were associated with the susceptibility and severity of dengue. The second was to assess the association of these variants with each symptom. We studied 272 cases with suspected dengue infection, of which 102 were confirmed dengue cases (DENV+) and 170 were dengue-like cases without DENV infection (DENV-). Samples of 201 individuals from the general population of Mexico were included as a reference. Genotyping was performed by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Odds ratios and confidence intervals were calculated using Pearson's chi-square test and later adjusted for age and sex with a binary logistic regression model. Haldane correction is applied when necessary. We found a significantly higher frequency of the A allele of TNFA rs361525 in both the DENV+ and DENV- groups compared with the general population. Focusing on DENV+ and DENV-, the frequency of the A allele of TNFA rs361525 was higher in the DENV+ group. A broad spectrum of symptoms was related to the A allele of both TNFA variants. We conclude that TNFA rs361525 increases the susceptibility to symptomatic dengue but can also be associated with susceptibility to other dengue-like symptoms from unknown causes.

Abstract
Background Inflammation serves as an essential driver of liver cirrhosis (LC) incidence. Accordingly, a meta-analysis was carried out to explore the association between specific polymorphisms in the interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) genes and the incidence of LC based on comparisons of genotype and allele frequencies. Objectives To study the relationship between TNF-α rs361525 and IFN-γ rs2430561 polymorphisms and the risk of LC. Methods A database search was performed for all studies published as of September 10, 2022. The strength of risk relationships was assessed based on odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Pooled analyses were conducted for one common TNF-α polymorphism (rs361525) as well as one common IFN-γ polymorphism (rs2430561). Both of these SNPs were identified as LC-related risk factors. Specifically, rs361525 was related to LC incidence in both alcoholic liver cirrhosis (OR: 1.86, 95%CI: 1.03-3.34) and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis cases (OR: 1.44, 95%CI: 1.00-2.06) when using an allelic contrast model. Moreover, rs2430561 was significantly related to LC in an Asian population (OR: 1.45, 95%CI: 1.13-1.86) and in the context of HBV-related cirrhosis (OR: 1.48, 95%CI: 1.13-1.93) when using an allelic contrast model. Conclusion These findings indicate that rs361525 and rs2430561 represent LC-related risk factors, although additional large-scale clinical and case-control studies will be vital to confirm these results.

Abstract
Cirrhosis is an active hepatic inflammation process of the liver considered as the serious phase of different liver injuries. Epidemiological studies have evaluated the possible association between TNF-α-308G/A gene polymorphism and liver cirrhosis. In this study, we have furthered the study to assess the exact association of TNF-α-308G/A gene polymorphism with liver cirrhosis susceptibility by integrating all available data. Eligible case-control studies were carried out from the establishment of the project to September 2021. Published literature from multiple databases was retrieved, collected, and analyzed by two investigators independently. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for every study. Review Manager 5.2 and Stata 15.0 software were used for meta-analysis and stability was assessed by both subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis. Begg's funnel plot and Egger's regression across the studies were also explored. We examined 22 case-control studies with 2683 cirrhosis patients and 2905 normal controls in four genetic models (GA vs. GG: OR = 0.95, 95%CI: (0.70, 1.30); AA vs. GG: OR = 1.11, 95% CI: (0.66, 1.85), GA + AA vs. GG: OR = 1.00, 95% CI: (0.73, 1.37); AA vs. GA + GG: OR = 1.07, 95%CI: (0.70,1.63)). TNF-α-308G/A gene polymorphism was relatively independent, and the results did not show a significant difference between the two groups. In the subgroup analysis by etiological classification of liver cirrhosis, cirrhosis after HCV infection was positively associated with the risk of TNF-α-308G/A polymorphism (AA vs. GG: OR = 3.02, 95% CI: (1.15, 7.88), AA vs. GA + GG: OR = 2.68, 95% CI: (1.04, 6.95)). The meta-analysis showed TNF-α-308G/A gene polymorphism might not have affected susceptibility for liver cirrhosis. Nevertheless, further and well-designed studies were needed to confirm the findings.

Functional impact of allelic variations/haplotypes of TNF-α on reproductive tract infections in Indian women. Sci Rep 2021; 11:627. [PMID: 33436768 PMCID: PMC7803726 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-79963-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to investigate the functional role of TNF-α single-nucleotide polymorphisms/haplotypes in an association with reproductive tract infections (RTIs) in symptomatic and asymptomatic women. A total of 850 consecutive subjects consisting of 400 cases and 450 healthy controls, were screened for RTIs, along with their risk factors and associated symptoms. The propensity score matching was performed to reduce the confounding bias arise owing to covariates and to balance the data between two groups. A total of 211 pairs (1:1) have been created. Genotyping of rs1800629 (-308) and rs361525 (-238) SNPs of TNF-α was done by PCR–RFLP followed by sequencing. The functional implication of TNF-α SNPs in an association with RTIs was also checked by using ELISA. The frequency of -238A allele and -308A allele was found to be twofold (P < 0.0001) and threefold (P < 0.0001) higher in the presence of RTIs. AA haplotype emerged as a major player in an association with RTIs and elevated TNF-α expression. The present study revealed the functional role of rs1800629 (-308) and rs361525 (-238) of TNF-α in an association with RTIs. This information may be used to establish biomarkers for an inflammatory response during the persistence of RTIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research focusing on the relationship between five types of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) SNPs and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were still controversial. Hereby, we performed a meta-analysis to determine the association between TNF-α promoter SNPs: -1031 T/C, - 863 C/A, - 857 C/T, - 308 G/A, and - 238 G/A with HCC risk. METHODS We interrogated articles from journal database: PubMed, Pro-Quest, EBSCO, Science Direct, and Springer to determine the relationship between five types of SNPs in TNF-α gene with HCC risk. RevMan 5.3 software was used for analysis in fixed/random effect models. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 23 potential articles from 2004 to 2018 with 3237 HCC cases and 4843 controls. We found that SNP - 863 C/A were associated with a significantly increased HCC risk (A vs C, OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.03-1.67). Similar results were obtained in - 857 C/T (TT/CT vs CC, OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.06-1.62), - 308 G/A (AA vs GG, OR = 3.14, 95% CI = 2.06-4.79), and - 238 G/A (AA vs GG, OR = 3.87, 95% CI = 1.32-11.34). While no associations were observed between SNP TNF-α - 1031 T/C and HCC risk. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis showed that TNFα SNPs -863C/A, - 857 C/T, - 308 G/A, and - 238 G/A were associated with the risk of HCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of acute liver failure (ALF). Pyroptosis is a necrosis type related to inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the role of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway in pyroptosis during ALF and AKI. METHODS An ALF and AKI mouse model was generated using LPS/D-Gal, and a TNF-α inhibitor, CC-5013, was used to treat the mice. THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into M1 macrophages, then challenged with either CC-5013 or an HMGB1 inhibitor, glycyrrhizin. pLVX-mCMVZsGreen-PGK-Puros plasmids containing TNF-α wild-type (WT), mutation A94T of TNF-α and mutation P84L of TNF-α were transfected into M1 macrophages. RESULTS Treatment with CC-5013 decreased the activation of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis in the treated mice and cells compared with the control mice and cells. CC-5013 also ameliorated liver and kidney pathological changes and improved liver and renal functions in treated mice, and the number of M1 macrophages in the liver and kidney tissues also decreased. The activation of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis increased in the M1 macrophage group compared with the normal group. Similarly, the activation of TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis in the LPS + WT group also increased. By contrast, the activation of the TNF-α/HMGB1 pathway and pyroptosis decreased in the LPS + A94T and LPS + P84L groups. Moreover, glycyrrhizin inhibited pyroptosis. CONCLUSION The TNF-α/HMGB1 inflammation signalling pathway plays an important role in pyroptosis during ALF and AKI.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are a serious global-scaled public health problem. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/lymphotoxin alpha (LTA) has been found to play a crucial role in relation to the outcomes of HCV infection after it binds to TNF receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFRSF1A). Thus, we investigated whether or not the TNF/LTA gene cluster and TNFRSF1A gene polymorphisms were associated with the outcomes of HCV infection. 1103 control participants without HCV infection, 497 patients with spontaneous clearance of HCV infection, and 713 patients with persistent HCV infection were enrolled. Rs2229094, rs1041981, rs1799964, and rs767455 were genotyped using the ABI TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. After adjusting for age, gender, and after determining a high-risk population, we used logistic regression analyses for which results indicated that the rs767455-C allele was associated with a reduced risk of HCV infection compared to respective results for the wild-type T allele (dominant model: adjusted OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.60-0.92, P = .006; additive model: adjusted OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.62-0.91, P = .004). Results also indicated that the rs1041981-A allele was associated with a decreased risk of persistent HCV infection compared to respective results for the wild-type C allele (additive model: adjusted OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.68-0.96, P = .017). Genetic polymorphisms in the LTA and TNFRSF1A genes were found to have been potentially important in relation to the susceptibility and chronicity of HCV infection among Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections are a major threat worldwide. Disease progression and outcome is diverse and depends on host genetic background. Recently, a high rate of HBV reactivation in individuals receiving tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) antagonists showed the importance of this cytokine in HBV infection control. Here, we investigated the influence of TNF‐α promoter polymorphisms on susceptibility to chronic HBV infection (CHB), liver injury progression and outcomes. Methods A total of 231 patients with CHB constituted the study group and 100 healthy volunteers—the local control group. TNF‐α −1031T/C, −863C/A, −857C/T, −308G/A, and −238G/A were genotyped using MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry. Results TNF‐α −1031C and −863A alleles were observed more frequently in CHB group than in healthy controls. Carriers of TNF‐α −1031C and −863A variant alleles had lower baseline levels of serum HBV DNA and lower liver necroinflammatory activity than dominant homozygotes. A −857CT genotype predisposed to higher necroinflammatory activity. No associations between TNF‐α variants and liver fibrosis were found. Conclusion This study indicates that TNF‐α −863A and −1031C alleles are associated with increased susceptibility to CHB in individuals from northern Poland. The same variants determine the course of CHB, lowering viremia and reducing necroinflammatory activity of the liver.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in TNF-α gene promoter region are known of its role in the production of TNF-α which may influences the pathogenesis of liver disease. SNPs in positions 238 and 308 of TNF-α gene promoters may affect the production of these cytokines. This study was aimed to detect Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) on -238 and -308 positions in the TNF-α gene promoter among liver cirrhosis patients with HBV infection in Surabaya, Indonesia. This was descriptive exploratory research with cross sectional study design using serum liver cirrhosis patients with HBV infection in Endoscopy Outpatient Clinic Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya from April-May 2017. SNPs at -238 and -308 on TNF-α gene promoter (rs361525 and rs1800629 respectively) were detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) with primers specific for the TNF-α promoter region and restriction enzymes NcoI and MspI. The genotypes of TNF-α gene promoter were assessed according to the length of the fragments produced in RFLP. Serum TNF-α levels was measured by commercial ELISA. In this study, as much as 149 positive HBsAg patients was found in Endoscopy Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. From those amount, as much as 30 liver cirrhosis patients with positive HBsAg were obtained. From 2/30 (6.7%) patients showed the GA heterozygote SNP either position -238 or -308. No patient had the AA genotype. Median blood TNF-α level in women (38 ng / L) was higher than in men (33 ng / L). TNF-α levels in patients with GA heterozygote genotype at -238 and -308 in this research was not different than wild-type (GG genotype). Among patients with liver cirrhosis due to chronic HBV infection in Surabaya, Indonesia, Surabaya, we found GA polymorphisms the TNF-α promoter gene at positions -238 and -308 in 6.7% patients, and did not find homozygous AA polymorphisms. Further studies including larger numbers of patients from various ethnic backgrounds in Indonesia are needed to provide robust data on TNF-α gene promoter polymorphisms and their role in the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis with HBV infection in this country.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an enveloped partial double-stranded DNA virus that can cause acute and chronic hepatitis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 257 million people are living with HBV. Moreover, 20,900 acute hepatitis B cases were reported in 2016. Hepatitis B is highly prevalent in the African, Western Pacific, Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia, and European regions, respectively. Due to the high mutational rate of HBV and lack of reverse transcriptase proofreading activity, ten different genotypes with different geographical distributions have been identified. HBV pathogenesis and severity of infection depend on several host and viral factors, particularly, the genetic variability of both the host and virus. Although HBV infection is a global health concern, there is a lack of adequate studies and reports in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Here, we provide a review on HBV epidemiology, pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, coinfection with selected viruses, and laboratory diagnosis, focusing on studies conducted in the MENA region to determine the current situation of the HBV infection and outline the future study areas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tumor necrosis factor-α has been suggested to play a crucial role in the development andprogression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous reports have indicated that rs361525 and rs1800629 might be risk factors for various cancers. Increasing studies have been conducted on the association of these two SNPs with HCC risk but the results remain inconclusive. METHODS In order to detect association between TNF- α and HCC, a meta-analysis was performed. Five studies with 541 cases and 795 controls were used for rs361525, while six studies including 925 cases and 1307 controls were collected for investigating rs1800629. The grouping of countries from data were obtained was done by Principal Coordinate Analysis plot (PCA). Moreover, association between geographical area and grouping of genotypes was determined by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). RESULTS Our meta-analysis showed that rs361525 and rs1800629 were not significantly associated with the risk of HCC. CCA analysis illustrated that there was not any correlation between genotype distribution and geographical distance for rs1800629 but there was significant correlation between genotype distribution and geographical features for rs361525. PCA analysis for both SNPs showed India and Korea were placed near each other and also China and Brazil were in same part of PCA plot. CONCLUSION To sum up, this meta-analysis suggests that the rs361525 and rs1800629 are not associated with HCC development while geographical distance effect on rs361525 genetic inheritance but not effect on rs1800629. However, it is necessary to conduct further studies with larger sample. Moreover, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions should also be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Toxoplasma gondii causes one of the most common intrauterine infections worldwide, thus being a severe threat during pregnancy. IL1, IL6, IL10, IL12, and TNF-α cytokines were reported to be involved in immune responses to infections with T. gondii. The research was aimed to reveal relationships between genetic changes within the polymorphisms of these cytokine genes and the incidence of T. gondii infection among pregnant women, as well as congenital transmission of the parasite to the foetuses of their infected mothers. METHODS The primary study was performed in 148 Polish pregnant women, including 74 T. gondii-infected patients and 74 age-matched uninfected individuals; and further analysis - among the additional 142 pregnant women. Genotypes within IL1A -889 C>T, IL1B +3954 C>T, IL6 -174 G>C, IL10 -1082 G>A, IL12B -1188 A>C and TNFA -308 G>A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined, using self-designed nested PCR-RFLP assays. Randomly selected PCR products, representing distinct genotypes in the analyzed polymorphisms, were confirmed by sequencing, using the Sanger method. A statistical analysis was carried out of relationships between genetic alterations within studied SNPs and the occurrence of T. gondii infection, using the following tools: cross-tabulation, Pearson's Chi-square test and the logistic regression model to estimate genetic models of inheritance. A power analysis of statistically significant outcomes was performed by Cramér's V test. RESULTS A multiple-SNP analysis showed TC haplotype for IL1A and IL1B SNPs to be significantly associated with a decreased risk of the parasitic infection (OR 0.41, P≤0.050). The association remained important after power analysis (Cramér's V = 0.39, χ2 = 7.73, P≤0.050), and the additional analysis with larger groups of patients (OR 0.47, P≤0.050). Moreover, the CCCAGA complex variants were for all the studied polymorphisms at an increased risk of T. gondii infection (OR 8.14, P≤0.050), although this strong relationship was not significant in the further analysis (Cramér's V = 0.76, χ2 = 26.81, P = 0.310). Regarding the susceptibility to congenital transmission of T. gondii from mothers to their foetuses among the infected pregnant women, the presence of GA heterozygotic status within IL10 polymorphism significantly increased the risk of parasitic transmission (OR 5.73 in the codominant model and OR 5.18 in the overdominant model; P≤0.050). The correlation stayed important in the power analysis (Cramér's V = 0.29, χ2 = 6.03, P≤0.050), although it was non-significant in larger groups of patients. Important relationships specific for the first study cohort remained non-significant in the second group of studied pregnant women. CONCLUSIONS Within the analyzed cohort of Polish pregnant women, the genetic modifications from SNPs of genes, encoding both the proinflammatory IL1α, IL1β, IL6, IL12 and TNF-α, and anti-inflammatory IL10 cytokines, may have been associated with susceptibility to T. gondii infection. It is the first study on the contribution of cytokine genes polymorphisms to the occurrence of T. gondii infection during pregnancy. Further studies for other populations of pregnant women would be justified to reveal a detailed role of the analyzed polymorphisms for the occurrence of T. gondii infections during pregnancy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between TNF-α-308(G/A) and -238(G/A) polymorphisms and the susceptibility of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH) was investigated in many studies with conflicting results. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between them comprehensively. METHODS Relevant literatures published in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG Data, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (CSTJ) updated to January 30, 2018, were reviewed by two investigators independently. Odds ratios (ORs) and its 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by a fixed-effect model based on the indistinctive heterogeneity. RESULTS For TNF-α-308(G/A) polymorphism, we recruited five studies including 432 NONFH patients and 760 controls and a statistically significant association was identified in Asians in four modes consisting of alleles mode (OR = 0.648, 95% CI 0.475-0.885), homozygote mode (OR = 0.330, 95% CI 0.136-0.802), dominant mode (OR = 0.344, 95% CI 0.143-0.827), and recessive mode (OR = 0.674, 95% CI 0.468-0.971), but no significant association was observed in Caucasians. For TNF-α-238(G/A) polymorphism, three eligible studies including 275 cases and 610 controls were evaluated and there was a significant association in alleles mode (OR = 0.270, 95% CI 0.4148-0.490) as well as recessive mode (OR = 0.254, 95% CI 0.138-0.468). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis shows that TNF-α-308(G/A) and -238(G/A) polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility of NONFH, while the significant association for 308(G/A) is mainly observed in Asians.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-Mediated Survival of CD169 + Cells Promotes Immune Activation during Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Infection. J Virol 2018; 92:JVI.01637-17. [PMID: 29142134 PMCID: PMC5774891 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01637-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2017] [Accepted: 11/01/2017] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Innate immune activation is essential to mount an effective antiviral response and to prime adaptive immunity. Although a crucial role of CD169+ cells during vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infections is increasingly recognized, factors regulating CD169+ cells during viral infections remain unclear. Here, we show that tumor necrosis factor is produced by CD11b+ Ly6C+ Ly6G+ cells following infection with VSV. The absence of TNF or TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) resulted in reduced numbers of CD169+ cells and in reduced type I interferon (IFN-I) production during VSV infection, with a severe disease outcome. Specifically, TNF triggered RelA translocation into the nuclei of CD169+ cells; this translocation was inhibited when the paracaspase MALT-1 was absent. Consequently, MALT1 deficiency resulted in reduced VSV replication, defective innate immune activation, and development of severe disease. These findings indicate that TNF mediates the maintenance of CD169+ cells and innate and adaptive immune activation during VSV infection.IMPORTANCE Over the last decade, strategically placed CD169+ metallophilic macrophages in the marginal zone of the murine spleen and lymph nodes (LN) have been shown to play a very important role in host defense against viral pathogens. CD169+ macrophages have been shown to activate innate and adaptive immunity via "enforced virus replication," a controlled amplification of virus particles. However, the factors regulating the CD169+ macrophages remain to be studied. In this paper, we show that after vesicular stomatitis virus infection, phagocytes produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which signals via TNFR1, and promote enforced virus replication in CD169+ macrophages. Consequently, lack of TNF or TNFR1 resulted in defective immune activation and VSV clearance.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is one of the important cytokine in generating an immune response against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Genetic polymorphisms might influence gene transcription, leading to disturbance in cytokine production. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in TNF-α gene could affect the pathogenesis of HBV. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the role of TNF-α polymorphism [-863C/A (rs1800630), -308G/A (rs1800629), -376G/A (rs1800750), -857C/T (rs1799724) and +489G/A (rs1800610)] in the susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. Polymorphisms of the TNF-α (-863C/A (rs1800630), -308G/A) were analyzed by Polymerase chain reaction sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) while TNF-α (-376G/A, -857C/T and +489G/A) by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 104 patients with CHB and 104 healthy controls. The plasma level of TNF-α was measured using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The study showed a significant increase in the frequency of -863CC, -376GA, -857CC, -857TT and +489GA genotypes and -863C, -376A, -857C, and +489A alleles in CHB patients compared to controls. In addition, CAGCG haplotype had a highest frequency in CHB patients. A strong Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) between TNF-α -863C/A (rs1800630) and -376G/A (D' = 0.7888, r2 = 0.0200); -308G/A and -857C/T (D' = 0.9213, r2 = 0.1770); -308G/A and +489G/A (D' = 0.9088, r2 = 0.1576) was demonstrated. CHB patients had significantly lower levels of TNF-α compared to controls. In conclusion, our preliminary results suggest that -863C/A (rs1800630), -308G/A, -376G/A, and +489G/A of the TNF-α gene may play a role in HBV susceptibility in Egyptians. The significant reduction in TNF-α in CHB patient was independent of any particular genotype/haplotype in TNF-α.

Abstract
Associations between inflammatory gene polymorphisms (TNF-α 308G/A, TNF-α 238G/A, TNF-β 252A/G, TGF-β1 29T/C, IL-6 174G/C and IL-10 1082A/G) and osteosarcoma (OS) risk remain unclear. We conducted a systematic search to retrieve studies that investigated associations between inflammatory gene polymorphisms and OS risk. Nine studies that met the inclusion criteria were finally recruited in this meta-analysis. Overall, there was a significant association between TNF-α 308G/A, IL-10 1082A/G and OS risk, while there was no significant association between TNF-α 238G/A, TNF-β 252A/G and IL-6 174G/C and OS risk. Our subgroup analysis showed a significant association between IL-6 174G/C and IL-10 1082A/G and OS risk in Asians, while no such significant correlation was observed with TNF-α 308G/A, TNF-α 238G/A, TNF-β 252A/G and TGF-β1 29T/C polymorphisms. In Caucasians, there was a significant association between TNF-α 238G/A and the decreased incidence of OS. In conclusion, inflammatory gene polymorphisms play a key role in the occurrence and progression of OS. IL-6 174G/C polymorphism was obviously associated with OS risk in Asians, while TNF-α 238G/A polymorphism seemed to be associated with the decreased susceptibility to OS in Caucasians as Altman and Bland test indicated. Although controversial results were observed between IL-10 1082A/G and OS risk in Asians and Caucasians, it is difficult to make a definite conclusion about the role of IL-10 1082A/G polymorphism in the etiology of OS because our Altman and Bland test showed no good evidence to support a different effect in Asians and Caucasians.

Abstract
This case-control study was aimed to assess the effect of genetic variants of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α-308 and lymphotoxin (LT) α+252 on development of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Their gene-gene interaction was also investigated. We enrolled 200 pairs of age- and sex-matched patients with cirrhotic HBV-HCC and unrelated patients with HBV-cirrhosis alone. Polymorphisms of TNFα-308 and LTα+252 were genotyped. Synergy index was used to calculate interaction between the variant genotypes. The results indicated that the frequency distribution of the variant genotypes (TNFα-308 G/A and LTα+252 G/G) in patients with HCC were significantly higher than those in patients with cirrhosis alone. Multivariate analysis indicated that TNFα-308 G/A (odds ratio [OR], 2.34) and LTα+252 G/G (OR, 2.04) were independent risk factors for HCC. By the clinical characteristics of study population, multivariate analysis demonstrated that independent factors associated with harboring the variant genotypes included cirrhosis with Child-Pugh C (OR = 6.47 in cases and OR = 11.56 in controls) and thrombocytopenia (OR = 8.86 in cases and OR = 7.74 in controls). Calculation of synergy index (SI) indicated that there are additive interaction between TNFα-308 G/A and LTα+252 G/G on risk of HCC (SI = 1.29). IN CONCLUSION There are independent and additive interactions between TNFα-308 G/A and LTα+252 G/G on risk for HBV-HCC. They correlated with advanced hepatic fibrosis and severe liver damage, which might contribute to a higher risk for HCC.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a major health problem worldwide and is associated with significant long-term morbidity and mortality. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic virus that is capable of integrating in the host nucleus permanently resulting in lifelong infection. To date, there is no definitive cure for HBV, as our current treatments cannot eradicate the viral reservoir that has integrated in the liver. Elucidating the immunopathogenesis is key to finding a therapeutic target for HBV as the virus is not in itself cytopathic but the immune response to the virus causes the majority of the cellular injury. In most cases, the virus reaches a state of equilibrium with low viral replication constrained by host immunity. Multiple cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of CHB. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has emerged as a key player; on one hand it can facilitate immune-mediated virological control but on the other hand it can cause collateral hepatocyte damage, cirrhosis and possibly promote hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of the immunopathogenesis of HBV, focusing on TNF and whether it can be harnessed in therapeutic strategies to cure HBV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the association between tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) G308A, G238A and C863T polymorphisms and hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) susceptibility. METHODS We interrogated the databases of Pubmed, Sciencedirect and Viley online library up to March 8, 2016. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated in a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model when appropriate. RESULTS In total, 12 case-control studies which containing 1580 HBV-HCC cases, 2033 HBV carrier controls, 395 HBV spontaneously recovered (SR) controls and 1116 healthy controls were included. Compared with GG genotype, the genotypes GA/AA of G308A were associated with a significantly increased HBV-HCC risk when the controls were all healthy individuals (AA vs. GG, OR 2.483, 95%CI 1.243 to 4.959; GA vs. GG, OR 1.383, 95%CI 1.028 to 1.860; GA/AA vs. GG, OR 1.381, 95%CI 1.048 to 1.820). Meanwhile, only the AA vs. GG model of G238A and HBV-HCC showed a statistic significance when the controls were healthy individuals (OR 4.776, 95%CI 1.280 to 17.819). CT genotype of TNF-α C863T could increase HBV-HCC risk whenever the controls were healthy individuals, HBV carriers or HBV recovers. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis shows that AA genotype in TNF-α G308A and TNF-α G238A and CT genotype in TNF-α C863T may increase HBV-HCC risk. Therefore, HBV infection seemed to be a more important factor for tumorigenesis of HCC than genetic predisposition in G308A of TNF-α, and interaction between TNF-α C863T polymorphisms and HBV infection might be associated with increased HCC risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The host genetic background regulates the natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the association between TNF-α gene polymorphism in the promoter region and susceptibility to chronic hepatitis B virus infection. METHODS Four polymorphisms of TNF-α gene including -238 A/G, -308 A/G, -857 C/T, and -863 A/C were analyzed by PCR-RFLP in 100 chronic HBV infected patients (HBV group), 40 spontaneously recovered HBV subjects (SR group), and 100 healthy controls (C group). Also, serum levels of protein were monitored. RESULTS The study showed that the existence of -308 G, -857 C, and -863 A alleles significantly increased susceptibility to chronic HBV infection. In addition, GGCA haplotype had a higher frequency in HBV patients than C and SR groups that might be related to the natural history of the infection. Chronic HBV patients with -308 GG, -857 CC, and -863 AA genotypes had lower serum levels of TNF-α compared to those with other genotypes. CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that there was a positive association between susceptibility to chronic HBV infection and TNF-α polymorphism. In addition, HBV patients carrying -308 GG, -857 CC, and -863 AA genotypes with lower serum levels of TNF-α had an increased risk of infection.

Abstract
CONTEXT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common disorder throughout the world that can develop due to various factors, including genetics. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is the most frequently studied cytokine related to the risk of developing HCC, and an association between the 308 position of the TNF-α promoter (TNF-α-308) and HCC risk has been confirmed in various reports. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched through July 12, 2015, for studies on associations between TNF-α-308 and the risk of HCC. To determine this association, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. RESULTS A total of 23 case-control studies were investigated, involving 3,389 cases and 4,235 controls. The overall conclusion was that the A allele was more frequent in case groups compared to control groups (13.4% vs. 8.4%). Thus, the A allele was significantly associated with increased HCC risk (OR = 1.77; 95% CI = [1.26-2.50]; P value < 0.002). In addition to the allelic model, the dominant model (AA + AG vs. GG) was significantly associated with HCC risk (OR = 1.80; CI = [1.29-2.51]; P value < 0.001). In the sensitivity analysis for co-dominant (AA vs. GG) and recessive models (AA vs. AG + GG), no trustworthy associations with the risk of HCC development were observed. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicated that the TNF-α-308 G/A polymorphism is significantly associated with increased susceptibility to HCC. However, to confirm this finding, more studies are needed on TNF-α-308 G/A polymorphisms associated with HCC.

Association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and outcome of hepatitis B virus infection in southern Brazil. J Med Virol 2016; 88:1759-66.

Abstract
A number of studies have demonstrated associations between cytokine gene polymorphisms and outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, no general consensus has been reached, possibly due to differences between ethnic groups. In this study, 345 individuals living in southern Brazil, including 196 chronic HBV carriers and 149 subjects who had spontaneously recovered from acute infection, were enrolled to evaluate the influence of cytokine gene polymorphisms on the outcome of HBV infection. Most participants were of European descent. Genotyping of IL2-330 G/T, IL4-589C/T, IL6-174 G/C, IL10-592C/A, IL10-1082 A/G, IL17A-197 G/A, IL17A-692 T/C, TNF-α-238 G/A, and TNF-α-308 G/A single nucleotide polymorphisms was performed by using the minisequencing (single base extension) method. By multivariable analysis, a statistically significant association was found between genotypic profile AA + GA in TNF-α-308 and chronic HBV infection (OR, 1.82; 95%CI, 1.01-3.27; P = 0.046). In southern Brazil, the carriers of the -308A allele in the TNF-α gene promoter have a moderately higher risk of becoming chronic carriers in case of HBV infection. In addition, patients with chronic active hepatitis B (n = 60) exhibited a decreased frequency (3.3%) of the TNF-238A allele when compared to that (14.8%) found among asymptomatic HBV carriers (n = 136), suggesting that this could be a protective factor against liver injury (OR, 0.17; 95%CI, 0.04-0.076; P = 0.023).
