Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:vaccines11020413. [PMID: 36851291 PMCID: PMC9962548 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11020413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The introduction of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in late 2020 substantially changed the pandemic picture, inducing effective protection in the population. However, individual variability was observed with different levels of cellular response and neutralizing antibodies. We report data on the impact of age, gender, and 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cytokine genes on the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG titers measured 31 and 105 days after administration of the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine to 122 healthy subjects from the health care staff of the Palermo University Hospital, Italy. The higher titers at 31 days were measured in the younger subjects and in subjects bearing T-positive genotypes of IL-1R1 rs2234650 or the GG homozygous genotype of IL-6 rs1800795 SNP. T-positive genotypes are also significantly more common in subjects with higher titers at day 105. In addition, in this group of subjects, the frequency of the CT genotype of IL-4 rs2243250 is higher among those vaccinated with higher titers. Moreover, these SNPs and TNFA rs1800629 are differently distributed in a group of subjects that were found infected by SARS-CoV-2 at day 105 of evaluation. Finally, subjects that were found to be infected by SARS-CoV-2 at day 105 were significantly older than the uninfected subjects. Taken together, these data seem to suggest that age and polymorphisms of key cytokines, which regulate inflammation and humoral immune response, might influence the magnitude of the antibody response to vaccination with BNT162B2, prompting speculation about the possible benefit of a genetic background-based assessment of a personalized approach to the anti-COVID vaccination schedule.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the effect of sociodemographic and genetic features on the quality of life (QoL) of family caregivers (FCGs) of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) in palliative care (PC) and the effect of QoL of FCGs on patients' survival. METHODS A questionnaire was applied to obtain sociodemographic information of 100 FCGs of patients with HNC in PC. The WHOQoL-bref questionnaire was used to measure QoL. Genotypes were identified using real-time PCR. Differences between groups were assessed by linear regression. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by the Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) regression. RESULTS Worse QoL in the overall QoL (p = 0.04), physical health (p = 0.04), psychological (p = 0.005), and environment (p = 0.02) domains was associated to employed caregivers. Collective transport was related to worse QoL of the FCGs in the general health (p = 0.02) and psychological (p = 0.01) domains. Lower levels of QoL of FCGs in the social relationships domain were predictive of a decrease in EFS (HR: 1.98, p = 0.01) and OS (HR: 2.01, p = 0.01) of the patients. CONCLUSION The results suggest that employment status and means of transportation may impair the QoL of FCGs. Lower levels of QoL of FCGs in the social relationships domain could decrease patients' survival.

Evaluation of Cardiac Biomarkers and Expression Analysis of IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, and IL-25 among COVID-19 Patients from Pakistan. Viruses 2022; 14:v14102149. [PMID: 36298704 PMCID: PMC9610190 DOI: 10.3390/v14102149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is caused by viral infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Where upregulation of several important biomarkers and multiple organ dysfunction occurs, this study aimed to evaluate the association of cardiac biomarkers and CS induced acute lung damage with disease severity and mortality in survival of COVID-19 patients. A total of 500 COVID-19 patients with elevated cardiac biomarkers were studied for the analysis of myocardial abnormality through cardiac enzymes, inflammatory biomarkers, and the expression analysis of various cytokines, including IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, and IL-25 genes. The elevation of various cardiac enzymes including LDH (87%), CK (78.4%), TNI (80.4%), CK-MB (83%), and D-dimer (80.8%) were found correlated (p < 0.001) with COVID-19 infection. Cardiac enzyme elevation was highly associated with an increased level of inflammatory biomarkers such as CRP (14.2%), SAA (11.4%) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (7.8%) (p = 0.001 for all). The quantitative expression analysis of IL-10, 1L-17, and 1L-25 were found to be high, while those of IL-1 and IL-6 were moderately elevated. The death-to-live ratio of COVID-19 patients was 457:43 indicating that the patients having elevated levels of both CKMB, D-dimer, CK and IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 and D-dimer, Troponin, CK and IL-1, IL-10 had high fatality rate (73% and 12% respectively). The current finding concludes that the evaluation of cardiac biomarkers with cytokine storm plays a significant role in COVID-19-associated anatomical organ damage, myocardial injury, and mortality. Physicians should pay special attention to cardiac biomarkers in patients with old age, inflammation, and comorbidities among COVID-19 infections.

Abstract
Introduction: Cytokines are cell signaling glycoproteins that are particularly important in immunity and inflammatory responses. Therefore, variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in genes encoding for cytokines may have important consequences for their roles in health. Materials and Methods: A total of 222 unrelated, healthy, and un-admixed Malays (n = 97), Chinese (n = 77), and Indians (n = 48) with a median age of 30 years old (range 21-50) were typed for 22 cytokine gene SNPs: IL-1α -889 T/C, IL-1β (-511 T/C, +3962 T/C), IL-1R pst1 1970 T/C, IL-1RA mspa1 11100 T/C, IL-4Rα +1902 G/A, IL-12 - 1188 C/A, IFN-γ +874 A/T, TGF-β (cdn 10 C/T, cdn 25 G/C), TNF-α (-308 A/G, -238 A/G) IL-2 (+166 G/T, -330 T/G), IL-4 (-1098 T/G, -590 T/C, -33 T/C), IL-6 (-174 C/G, nt565 G/A), and IL-10 (-1082 G/A, -819 C/T, -592 A/C). This involved using well-established polymerase chain reaction procedures with sequence-specific primers and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. Results: The majority of the screened cytokine gene SNPs are polymorphic in all three ethnicities. Exceptions include TGF-β cdn 25 (G/C), IL-1β +3962 (T/C), and TNF-α -238 (A/G), which were all observed to be monomorphic in Malays, Chinese and Indians. Many of the analyzed cytokine gene SNP genotypes deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the three ethnic study groups were all well-separated from reference Asian, African and European populations in a principal component analysis plot. Conclusion: We successfully typed 22 SNPs in 13 cytokine genes from genetic material collected from unrelated and un-admixed Malay, Chinese and Indian individuals in Peninsular Malaysia. These new cytokine gene population datasets reveal interesting contrasts with other populations.

IL1R1 gene variants associate with disease susceptibility to IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis in IgG4-related disease. Gene X 2022; 820:146212. [PMID: 35143941 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2022.146212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by high serum IgG4 concentration and IgG4-bearing plasma cell infiltration in affected organs. IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis is a recently identified disease entity in IgG4-RD that affects the cardiovascular system. Since the genetic factors related to disease onset are unclear, we examined the genetic associations with IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis susceptibility. METHODS A small scale of genome-wide association analysis identified that interleukin 1 receptor type 1 (IL1R1) gene variants were correlated with the development of IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis in 75 patients with IgG4-RD. Accordingly, 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL1R1 gene were selected and genotyped in 124 patients with IgG4-RD (43 with periaortitis/periarteritis and 81 without periaortitis/periarteritis) and 344 healthy subjects. RESULTS The minor allele frequencies of 6 SNPs (rs2287049, rs3917273, rs2160227, rs951192, rs3917318, rs7582198) were significantly increased in IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis patients compared with those without periaortitis/periarteritis (corrected P < 0.05). In addition, the frequency of the AGAAA haplotype, comprised of 5 SNPs (rs3917273, rs2160227, rs951192, rs3917318, rs7582198), was significantly higher in patients with periaortitis/periarteritis (OR = 2.41, 95% CI:1.42-4.10). CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that IL1R1 genetic polymorphisms contributed to IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis and the possibility of certain genetic factors influencing the risk of specific IgG4-RD manifestations.

Abstract
COVID-19 complications still present a huge burden on healthcare systems and warrant predictive risk models to triage patients and inform early intervention. Here, we profile 893 plasma proteins from 50 severe and 50 mild-moderate COVID-19 patients, and 50 healthy controls, and show that 375 proteins are differentially expressed in the plasma of severe COVID-19 patients. These differentially expressed plasma proteins are implicated in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and present targets for candidate drugs to prevent or treat severe complications. Based on the plasma proteomics and clinical lab tests, we also report a 12-plasma protein signature and a model of seven routine clinical tests that validate in an independent cohort as early risk predictors of COVID-19 severity and patient survival. The risk predictors and candidate drugs described in our study can be used and developed for personalized management of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. Prognostic markers for patients with COVID-19 are of critical importance in determining the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and patient handling. Here the authors determine and apply a prognostic proteomic panel for risk and drug prediction in the management of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients.

The association of genetic polymorphisms in interleukin-1 receptors type 1 and type 2 with sudden sensorineural hearing loss in a Taiwanese population: a case control study. J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2021; 50:69. [PMID: 34865658 PMCID: PMC8647377 DOI: 10.1186/s40463-021-00550-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a disease with an unknown etiology; damage to the auditory nerve from inflammation due to viral infection or vascular incidents has been implicated. According to several studies, cytokines, including interleukins, are associated with SSNHL in terms of serum expression and genetic polymorphisms. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a key role in inflammation and may be associated with SSNHL. This study analyzed the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) genes with SSNHL in Taiwan. Methods We conducted a case–control study involving 401 patients with SSNHL and 730 healthy controls. Four SNPs (IL-1R type 1 gene [IL1R1] [rs3917225 and rs2234650] and IL-1R type 2 gene [IL1R2] [rs4141134 and rs2071008]) were selected. The genotypes were determined using the TaqMan assay. The Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was tested for each SNP, and genetic effects were evaluated. Results The TT genotype of rs2234650 had an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.988 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.27–6.82) (P = 0.012) compared with the CC genotype in patients with SSNHL. The SNP rs2234650 was associated with SSNHL in the recessive model (TT vs. CC + CT, P = 0.0206, OR = 2.681). The CT genotype of rs4141134 had an adjusted OR of 3.860 (95% CI 2.01–7.44; P < 0.0001) compared with the TT genotype, in patients with SSNHL. The SNP rs4141134 was associated with SSNHL under the dominant model (CC + CT vs. TT, P < 0.0001, OR = 4.087). Conclusion These findings suggest that IL1R1 and IL1R2 gene polymorphisms may contribute to an increased risk of SSNHL in Taiwan.

Abstract
Background: Sociodemographic characteristics and inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1 cytokine receptor type 2 (IL1R2), IL-6, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells like 2 (TREML2), may influence psychological disorders, including discomfort. Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) determine individual differences for the modulation of cytokines and indicate that genetics may also influence the comfort levels. However, the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, holistic comfort, and the roles played by IL1B rs16944, IL1R2 rs4141134, IL6 rs1800795, and TREML2 rs3747742 SNVs on the comfort levels of family caregivers (FCGs) of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients in palliative care (PC) is unknown. Thus, its investigation consisted in the aim of the present study. Methods: A questionnaire was applied to obtain sociodemographic information on 95 FCGs. The genotypes were identified using TaqMan assays. The Holistic Comfort Questionnaire for the Caregiver, which consists of 49 questions, was used to measure comfort levels. Differences between groups were assessed by the t test and linear regression. Results: Employed FCGs (p = .04), those youngest (p = .04), smokers (p = .04), and those with IL1R2 GA or AA genotypes (p = .03) presented lower comfort regarding the overall, environmental, sociocultural, and psychospiritual domains, respectively. Conclusions: Employment status, smoking habit, young age, and SNV IL1R2 rs4141134 could influence the comfort levels of FCGs of patients with HNC in PC.

Abstract
Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive skin cancer with high mortality. Proinflammatory cytokines can modulate the proliferation and survival of cutaneous melanoma cells. Higher levels of interleukin-1β (IL1B) were associated with tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, and the IL-1 type II receptor (IL1R2) serves as an endogenous inhibitor of IL1B signaling. Single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) in these genes (IL1B rs16944 and IL1R2 rs4141134) can modulate cytokine production and binding; however, their role in cutaneous melanoma is still unknown. Thus, we investigated the influence of the above SNVs in clinicopathological aspects and cutaneous melanoma patients' survival. In the present study, we analyzed 193 patients with cutaneous melanoma for IL1B c.-598T>C (rs16944) and IL1R2 c.-2009G>A (rs4141134) genotypes with TaqMan assays. Differences between groups were calculated using χ2 or Fisher's exact test and multiple logistic regression. Progression-free survival (PFS) and melanoma-specific survival were calculated by Kaplan-Meier and Cox methods. The prognostic value of IL1R2 was also analyzed by the online consensus survival webserver for skin cutaneous melanoma (OSskcm). We found that IL1R2 rs4141134 GG genotype was more common in patients with nodular subtype (49.1% vs. 29.8%, P = 0.01) and the frequency of IL1R2 rs4141134 GG or GA was higher in patients with Clark levels III-V (87.4% vs. 75.8%, P = 0.04). Patients with IL1R2 rs4141134 GG or GA genotypes presented lower PFS (hazard ratio: 3.12, 95% confidence interval, 1.10-8.79, P = 0.03) when compared with AA genotype, supported by OSskcm results. Thus, our study presented for the first time preliminary evidence that IL1R2 rs4141134 SNV may modulate cutaneous melanoma clinicopathological aspects and survival possible by allowing IL1B signaling.

PPAR-γ activation enhances myelination and neurological recovery in premature rabbits with intraventricular hemorrhage. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2021; 118:2103084118.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) results in periventricular inflammation, hypomyelination of the white matter, and hydrocephalus in premature infants. No effective therapy exists to prevent these disorders. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) agonists reduce inflammation, alleviate free radical generation, and enhance microglial phagocytosis, promoting clearance of debris and red blood cells. We hypothesized that activation of PPAR-γ would enhance myelination, reduce hydrocephalus, and promote neurological recovery in newborns with IVH. These hypotheses were tested in a preterm rabbit model of IVH; autopsy brain samples from premature infants with and without IVH were analyzed. We found that IVH augmented PPAR-γ expression in microglia of both preterm human infants and rabbit kits. The treatment with PPAR-γ agonist or PPAR-γ overexpression by adenovirus delivery further elevated PPAR-γ levels in microglia, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, increased microglial phagocytosis, and improved oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) maturation in kits with IVH. Transcriptomic analyses of OPCs identified previously unrecognized PPAR-γ-induced genes for purinergic signaling, cyclic adenosine monophosphate generation, and antioxidant production, which would reprogram these progenitors toward promoting myelination. RNA-sequencing analyses of microglia revealed PPAR-γ-triggered down-regulation of several proinflammatory genes and transcripts having roles in Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, contributing to neurological recovery in kits with IVH. Accordingly, PPAR-γ activation enhanced myelination and neurological function in kits with IVH. This also enhanced microglial phagocytosis of red blood cells but did not reduce hydrocephalus. Treatment with PPAR-γ agonist might enhance myelination and neurological recovery in premature infants with IVH.

Abstract
We investigate the impact of IL-1A, IL-1B and IL-1R1 polymorphism on lymphoma. This study consisted of 155 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients 55 Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients and 150 healthy individuals. PCR-RFLP method and ARMS PCR were used for genotyping of IL-1A rs3783553, IL-1B rs3917356, rs16944, IL-1R1 rs10490571 and IL-1A rs3783550 polymorphism. The results showed that the CC genotype of rs3783550 as well Ins/del of rs3783553 increased the risk of NHL. In contrast the AG genotype of rs3917356 and AG also AG + AA genotype of rs10490571 decreased the risk of NHL. The result revealed that the CC genotype of rs3783550 and AG genotype of rs3917356 increased risk of HL.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD), a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is characterized by heterogeneity along multiple clinical axes, which in turn impacts disease progression and treatment modalities. Using advanced data integration approaches and systems biology tools, we studied the contribution of CD susceptibility variants and gene expression in distinct peripheral immune cell subsets (CD14+ monocytes and CD4+ T cells) to relevant clinical traits. Our analyses revealed that most clinical traits capturing CD heterogeneity could be associated with CD14+ and CD4+ gene expression rather than disease susceptibility variants. By disentangling the sources of variation, we identified molecular features that could potentially be driving the heterogeneity of various clinical traits of CD patients. Further downstream analyses identified contextual hub proteins such as genes encoding barrier functions, antimicrobial peptides, chemokines, and their receptors, which are either targeted by drugs used in CD or other inflammatory diseases or are relevant to the biological functions implicated in disease pathology. These hubs could be used as cell type-specific targets to treat specific subtypes of CD patients in a more individualized approach based on the underlying biology driving their disease subtypes. Our study highlights the importance of data integration and systems approaches to investigate complex and heterogeneous diseases such as IBD.

Abstract
Background Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) is a major disability among the elder population. Chronic inflammation is an important factor in the development of ARHI. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a key role in inflammation and may be associated with ARHI. The aim of this study is to analyze the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-1 receptor genes with ARHI in an elderly population in Taiwan. Method Participants ≥65 years of age were recruited for audiometric tests and genetic analyses. The bilateral pure-tone average (PTA) of high-tone hearing levels was calculated for ARHI evaluation. The associations of SNPs of the IL-1 receptor type 1 gene (IL1R1) (rs3917225 and rs2234650) and type 2 gene (IL1R2) (rs4141134 and rs2071008) with ARHI were analyzed in 182 ARHI-susceptible (case) and 176 ARHI-resistant (control) participants. Results The G allele of IL1R1 rs3917225 showed a decreased risk of ARHI after adjustments for sex, age, and noise exposure. The GG genotype of IL1R1 rs3917225 in all hereditary models and the TT genotype of IL1R2 rs2071008 in the recessive model also showed decreased risks of ARHI after adjustments. Conclusion These findings suggest that IL1R1 and IL1R2 polymorphisms may contribute to the decreased risk of ARHI in the elderly population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory condition that has deleterious effects on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors contribute to variability in HRQoL; however, the influence of genetic variations related to altered inflammatory responses in individuals with CD is unknown. This exploratory study compared HRQoL scores across genotypes of functional genetic polymorphisms in cytokine candidate genes among individuals with CD. METHOD This study used data and blood samples collected in a parent study in 39 patients with CD aged 15-30 years. Participant reports of HRQoL were collected using the Shortened Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ). Genetic data were collected for 18 functional polymorphisms in eight cytokine candidate genes. SIBDQ scores were compared among genotypes using one-way, between-subjects analysis of variance. RESULTS SIBDQ scores differed across genotypes as follows: for IL-1R2 rs4141134 scores differed for total SIBDQ (p = .004) and systemic (p = .011), emotion (p = .038), and social domains (p = .025); for IL-10 rs1878672, scores differed for total SIBDQ (p = .031) and social domain (p = .008); for NFKB2 rs1056890, scores differed for social domain (p = .041); for TNF-α rs1800629, scores differed for total SIBDQ (p = .001) and bowel (p = .026), systemic (p = .014), and social domains (p = .045). CONCLUSIONS Findings on differences in SIBDQ scores across functional genetic polymorphisms in cytokine genes suggest potential mechanisms that contribute to variability in HRQoL in adolescents and young adults with CD.

Abstract
Celastrol, a pentacyclic triterpene is the most potent anti-obesity agent that has been reported to date1. The mechanism of celastrol’s leptin sensitizing and anti-obesity effects has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we identified interleukin 1 receptor 1 (IL1R1) as a mediator of celastrol action by using temporally-resolved analysis of the hypothalamic transcriptome in celastrol-treated DIO, lean and db/db mice. We demonstrate that IL1R1-deficient mice are completely resistant to celastrol’s leptin sensitization, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic and anti-NASH effects. Thus, we conclude that IL1R1 is a gate-keeper for celastrol’s metabolic actions.

Abstract
Aim High‐altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), as a multifactorial disease, is caused by stress failure and involves both environmental and genetic factors. Study shows that IL‐1 receptors can selectively decrease the oxygen arterial hypertension and influence the blood coagulation. So we evaluated whether genetic polymorphisms in IL1R1 and 1L1R2 genes are associated with the risk of HAPE in Chinese Han population. Methods Ten susceptible SNPs in the IL1R1 and IL1R2 genes were genotyped among 265 HAPE cases and 303 controls using the Agena MassARRAY platform. The associations of the SNP frequencies with HAPE were analyzed by chi‐square (χ2) test/Fisher's test. The genetic models were used to evaluate associations. Results In the allele model, we found that rs2072472 was significantly associated with a 0.73‐fold decreased risk of HAPE (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.55–0.97, p = 0.033). In the genetic model analysis, the rs2072472 in IL1R2 gene was associated with a 0.32‐fold decreased risk of HAPE in the codominant model, 0.67‐fold decreased risk of HAPE in the dominant model, 0.36‐fold decreasing the risk of HAPE in the recessive model, and 0.66‐fold decreased risk of HAPE in the log‐additive model, respectively. We found three candidate SNPs (rs11674595, rs4851527, and rs719250) in the IL1R2 gene have shown strong linkage, and none of the haplotypes was significantly associated with risk of HAPE. Conclusion These findings suggested that IL1R2 polymorphisms may contribute to the protection of HAPE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-1 has been reported to be involved in the development of tuberculosis (TB). IL1R1 and IL1R2 encode a cytokine receptor that belongs to the IL-1 receptor family. However, few studies have reported on the polymorphisms of IL1R1 and IL1R2 in TB patients. METHODS We investigated nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL1R1 and IL1R2 in 300 TB patients and 300 controls, aiming to evaluate their association with TB risk. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using unconditional logistic regression after adjusting for age and gender. RESULTS On comparing the allele frequencies of candidate SNPs, we found that the minor allele 'A' of rs4851527 in IL1R2 was associated with a decreased risk of TB, whereas the minor alleles of rs10490571, rs956730 and rs3917225 in IL1R1 were associated with an increased risk of TB (p < 0.05). In the genetic model analysis, we found that the allele 'A' of rs4851527 was correlated with a decreased risk of TB in a log-additive model, whereas the minor alleles of rs719250, rs3218977, rs10490571, rs956730 and rs3917225 were correlated with an increased risk of TB in dominant and log-additive models (p < 0.05). Additionally, we found three haplotypes that were associated with an increased risk of TB: TGCT and TGTT haplotypes constructed by rs11674595, rs4851527, rs719250 and rs3218896, as well as GA haplotype constructed by rs3218977 and rs2072472 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our data shed new light on the association between genetic polymorphisms of IL1R1 and IL1R2 and TB susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIM Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated destruction of liver cells, in recognition of interface hepatitis, seropositivity for autoantibodies, and interface hepatitis in histology sections. Hepatocyte destruction in AIH is the direct result of CD4+ T-cell destruction. Yet, Th17 mediated immune attach and a diversity of cytokine networks, including pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 1 (IL-1) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6), set the stage for the destructive liver damage. MATERIAL AND METHOD Peripheral blood samples from 57 patients, with AIH, recruited from referrals to the main pediatric hospital in Tehran. Single nucleotide polymorphisms for the following cytokines genes, were evaluated through, polymerase chain reaction with sequencespecific primers (PCR-SSP) assay: IL-1a (C/T -889), IL-1α (C/T -511), IL-1β (C/T +3962), IL-1 receptor (IL-1R; C/T Pst-I 1970), IL-1RA (C/T Mspa-I 11100), and IL-6 (C/G -174 and A/G nt565). RESULTS Significant higher frequency of genotype AA was detected in patients in IL-6 at position nt565 (15.8% in AIH patients vs. 2.9% in controls, p = 0.003). The haplotype GA of IL-6 at -174 and nt565, was significantly overrepresented in the AIH group, compared to (20.9% of AIH vs. 1.4% in controls p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Results of our study, indicate significant deviation toward high yield IL-6 polymorphisms, in AIH patients. These data could bring new insights in pathophysiology of disease, which could contribute to developing novel treatments for AIH.

Abstract
Aim IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the major cause of end-stage renal disease(ESRD) in Asia and its pathogenesis is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL1R1 and IL-1R2 may be associated with susceptibility to IgAN. In this study, we study the association between genetic variants of IL-1R1 and IL-1R2 and IgA nephropathy risk in the Chinese Han population. Result In the allelic model analysis, the rs10490571 and rs3917225 were associated with a 1.40-fold, and 1.31-fold increased risk of IgA nephropathy, respectively. In the genetic model analysis, the rs10490571 in IL1R1 was associated with a 1.46-fold increased risk of IgAN in the dominant model and 1.36-fold increased risk in the Log-additive model, respectively. However, the rs3218977 in IL1R2 was associated with a 0.71-fold decrease risk of IgAN in the dominant model and a 0.71–fold decrease risk in the over-dominant model, respectively. We found four SNPs (rs11674595, rs4851521, rs719250, and rs3218896) constructed four haplotypes in the IL1R2 gene and none of the haplotype was significantly associated with risk of IgAN. Materials and Methods A case-control study was conducted including 426 nephropathy patients and 463 healthy controls. Chi-squared tests and genetic model were used to evaluate associations. >Conclusions These findings suggested that IL-1R1 and IL-1R2 polymorphisms may contribute to the development of IgAN.

Abstract
Purpose Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a key role in inflammation and immunity and its decoy receptor, IL-1R2, has been implicated in transcriptomic and genetic studies of asthma. Methods Two large asthma family collections, the French-Canadian Saguenay—Lac-St-Jean (SLSJ) study and the French Epidemiological Study on the Genetics and Environment of Asthma (EGEA), were used to investigate the association of SNPs in 10 genes that modulate IL-1R2 activities with asthma, allergic asthma, and atopy. Gene-gene interactions were also tested. Results One SNP in BACE2 was associated with allergic asthma in the SLSJ study and replicated in the EGEA study before statistical correction for multiple testing. Additionally, two SNPs in the MMP2 gene were replicated in both studies prior to statistical correction and reached significance in the combined analysis. Moreover, three gene-gene interactions also survived statistical correction in the combined analyses (BACE1-IL1RAP in asthma and allergic asthma and IL1R1-IL1RAP in atopy). Conclusions Our results highlight the relevance of genes involved in the IL-1R2 activity in the context of asthma and asthma-related traits.
