Association of IL10RA, IL10RB, and IL22RA Polymorphisms/Haplotypes with Susceptibility to and Clinical Manifestations of SLE. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11292. [PMID: 37511050 PMCID: PMC10379357 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by an imbalance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes coding IL10RA, IL10RB, and IL22RA could affect their expression or function and disrupt immune homeostasis. We aimed to analyze the associations of IL10RA, IL10RB, and IL22RA polymorphisms/haplotypes with patients' susceptibility to and clinical manifestations of SLE. Our study included 103 SLE patients and 99 healthy controls. The genotypes of the selected polymorphisms within IL10RA (rs10892202, rs4252270, rs3135932, rs2228055, rs2229113, and rs9610), IL10RB (rs999788, rs2834167, and rs1058867), and IL22RA (rs3795299 and rs16829204) genes were determined by TaqMan® Assays. IL10RB rs1058867 G allele carriers were significantly more frequent among the controls than among the SLE patients (76.8% vs. 61.2%; p = 0.017, OR = 0.477, 95% CI: 0.258-0.879). The IL10RB CAA haplotype was more frequent among the SLE patients than in the control group (42.7% vs. 30.7%; p = 0.027). The IL22RA rs3795299 C allele and rs16829204 CC genotype were associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis in the SLE patients (n = 103; p = 0.002 and p = 0.026, respectively), and in all the included participants (n = 202, p < 0.000 and p = 0.007, respectively), and the IL22RA CC haplotype was more frequent in the SLE patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (p = 0.047) and in the overall participants with Hashimoto thyroiditis (n = 32, p = 0.004). The IL10RA, IL10RB, and IL22RA polymorphisms/haplotypes could be associated with SLE susceptibility and various clinical manifestations, and the IL22RA CC haplotype could be associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis.

Abstract
Background Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects multiple organs significantly impacts morbidity and mortality. The development of SLE is influenced by genetic predisposition and dysregulated immune response. Our objective was to investigate miR-21, IL-10, and PDCD4 expression in SLE patient plasma and analyze their correlations and potential diagnostic and prognostic values. Methods The study included 100 healthy subjects, 50 newly diagnosed (ND), and 50 under-treatment (UT) SLE patients. The patients were observed for 24 weeks to track relapses. miR-21 and PDCD4 gene expression levels were measured using real-time RT-PCR, and IL-10 production was measured using ELISA. Results miR-21 and IL-10 expression levels were significantly greater in SLE patients than in healthy subjects, with the highest levels observed in ND patients. PDCD4 expression was also significantly greater in SLE patients than in subjects, with the highest levels observed in UT patients. ROC curve analyses and Cox-Mantel Log-rank tests indicated miR-21, PDCD4, and IL-10 as proper diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for SLE. The study also revealed a significant positive correlation between miR-21 and PDCD4 and IL-10 levels in SLE patients. Conclusions The studies suggest that dysregulation of miR-21, PDCD4, and IL-10 in patients with SLE may contribute to disease development and provides new diagnostic and prognostic markers. Additionally, the observed correlation between miR-21, PDCD4, and IL-10 levels in SLE patients signifies a potential interplay between these molecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF- β1) gene polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been reported in many studies, but there were still controversies with regard to their conclusions. METHODS Relevant documents were retrieved from 5 electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and China national knowledge infrastructure. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the relationship between TGF-β1 genetic variation and SLE. RESULTS The present meta-analysis included 12 case-control studies with 1308 SLE patients and 1714 healthy controls. The results of the combined analyses showed that TGF-β1 C509T polymorphism showed no association with SLE risk (TC vs CC: OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.91-1.48, PHeterogeneity (PH) = 0.579; TT vs CC: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.63-2.09, PH = 0.003; T vs C: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.8-1.45, PH = 0.003; TC/TT vs CC: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.93-1.46, PH = 0.133; and TT vs TC/CC: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.64-1.76, PH = 0.004). TGF-β1 G915C and T869C polymorphisms were not linked with SLE risk. Moreover, subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium revealed no significant correlation of TGF-β1 T869C, C509T, G915C polymorphisms with SLE risk. CONCLUSION TGF-β1 T869C, C509T, G915C polymorphisms might not be associated with the development of SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in the interleukin-10 (IL10) gene have been linked to the severity of the patients infected with the viral infections. This study aimed to assess if the IL10 gene polymorphisms rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896 were linked to coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) mortality in different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants in the Iranian population. METHODS For genotyping IL10 rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896, this study used the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 1,734 recovered and 1,450 deceased patients. RESULTS The obtained finding indicated IL10 rs1800871 CC genotype in the Alpha variant and CT genotype in the Delta variant had a relationship with COVID-19 mortality; however, there was no association between rs1800871 polymorphism and the Omicron BA.5 variant. The COVID-19 mortality rate was associated with IL10 rs1800872 TT genotype in the Alpha and Omicron BA.5 variants and GT in the Alpha and Delta variants. The COVID-19 mortality rate was associated with IL10 rs1800896 GG and AG genotypes in the Delta and Omicron BA.5; nevertheless, there was no association between rs1800896 polymorphism with the Alpha variant. According to the obtained data, the GTA haplotype was the most common of haplotype in different SARS-CoV-2 variants. The TCG haplotype was related to COVID-19 mortality in the Alpha, Delta and Omicron BA.5 variants. CONCLUSION The IL10 polymorphisms had an impact on COVID-19 infection, and these polymorphisms had different effects in various SARS-CoV-2 variants. To verify the obtained results, further studies should be conducted on various ethnic groups.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multiple organs involvement, abundant autoantibodies, complement activation, and immune complexes depositions. By regulating inflammation and immune homeostasis, cytokines have been well documented to participate in the pathogenesis of SLE. A number of studies have shown that T helper 2 (Th2)-associated immunity plays an important role in autoimmune diseases, including SLE. Key molecules underlying Th2-related immunity are expected to serve as promising targets for the diagnosis and targeted treatment of SLE. Current progress in SLE pathogenesis and biological treatment strategies has been reviewed, focusing on the latest development in Th2-associated immunity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death associated with gynecologic cancer. IL-10 plays an important role in tumorigenesis. We investigated IL-10 gene polymorphisms in OC patients. The current case–control study screened forty-eight women with OC and forty-eight healthy women who did not have OC. The genotyping of SNPs (− 1082 G > A; rs1800896 and − 819 C > T; rs1800871) of the IL-10 gene was done by tetra primers sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR) technique. The plasma levels of IL-10 were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results
For IL-10 (− 1082 G/A) polymorphism, the G (wild allele) was significantly associated with increasing the risk of OC (OR = 2.054 with CI = 1.154–3.657; P < 0.05), while the A (variant allele) and AA genotype was significantly associated with decreasing the risk of OC (OR = 0.487 with CI = 0.273–0.867; P < 0.05) and (OR = 0.15; 95% CI = 0.04–0.63; P < 0.05), respectively. For IL-10 (− 819C/T) polymorphisms, the T allele (variant allele) and (TT, CT genotypes) were significantly associated with increasing the risk of OC (OR = 2.800 with 95% CI = 1.577–5.037; P < 0.05), (OR = 18.33 with 95% CI = 3.46–97.20; P < 0.001), and (OR = 9.44 with 95% CI = 2.52–35.40; P < 0.001), respectively, while the C (wild allele) was significantly associated with decreasing the risk of OC (OR = 0.357 with 95% CI = 0.199–0.642; P < 0.05). The haplotype analysis for (− 1082 G > A and − 819 C > T shows the GT haplotype was significantly associated with increasing the risk of OC (OR = 50.09 with CI = 6.34–395.92; P < 0.001). OC was substantially correlated with IL-10 level (r = 0.457; p < 0.001). There is no linkage disequilibrium (LD) between IL 10 − 1082 G/A and IL 10 − 819 C/T (D′ = 0.1315, r2 = 0.016; P = NS). A statistically significant positive relationship existed between IL-10 and CA125 and ALT (P < 0.05). IL-10 and albumin showed a strong negative association (P < 0.05), whereas the correlation of IL10 plasma level with BUN, AST, T. Bil., TLC, PLT, Cr., and HB has not any significant value (P > 0.05).
Conclusions
Overall, this study supports an association of IL-10 (− 1082 G/A and − 819C/T) polymorphisms with the risk of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with features of demyelination and axonal degeneration at a young age. Genetic factors may play an important role in the development of multiple sclerosis. (1) Objective: To investigate IL-10 rs1800871, rs1800872, rs1800896, and IL-10 serum levels in patients with multiple sclerosis. (2) Methods: Our study included patients with multiple sclerosis (n = 127) and healthy volunteers (n = 195). The subjects’ DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results were analyzed using the program “IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0”. (3) Results: The IL-10 SNPs were analyzed between the MS and control groups; however, no statistically significant results were found. The serum levels of IL-10 in the groups of MS and healthy subjects were not statistically significantly different (median (IQR): 0.828 (1.533) vs. 0.756 (0.528), p = 0.872). (4) Conclusions: IL-10 rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896 and serum IL-10 levels are not likely to be associated with MS development. However, individuals carrying the rare haplotypes of rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896 were associated with increased odds of MS (p = 0.006).

Abstract
Objectives
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most destructive disease caused by persistent HPV infection which affects women worldwide, especially in developing countries. The genetic basis of host immune response especially cytokine function has been shown to influence CC susceptibility. Studies have demonstrated that IL-10 gene polymorphism have been associated with numerous malignancies, but in context to CC results were inconclusive. Though, aim of our study to investigate the association between IL-10 -1082A/G and -819C/T promoter polymorphism and CC susceptibility.
Material and Methods
This study comprised 192 women with CC and 200 controls. HPV detection was done by RT-PCR and genotyping was assessed through PCR-RFLP method. Serum concentration of IL-10 measured by ELISA.
Results
Women with AG and AG+GG genotypes of IL-10 -1082A/G had two-fold increased risk of CC [OR, 2.35 (95% CI, 1.54–3.58),
p
= 0.005], [OR, 2.03 (95% CI, 1.36–3.04),
p
= 0.0005] compared to controls. Women with G allele of -1082A/G polymorphism had linked with CC susceptibility [OR, 1.39 (95% CI, 1.02–1.88),
p
= 0.036] compared to controls. No significant difference was found between patients and controls in the genotype or allele frequencies of IL–10 -819C/T polymorphism [OR, 1.00 (95% CI, 0.63–1.58),
p
= 0.99]. The level of serum concentration of IL-10 was significantly higher in cases compared to controls.
Conclusion
These findings help to understand that polymorphism of IL-10 -1082A/G gene is associated with increased risk of CC development and can serve as a marker of genetic susceptibility to CC.

Genetic variation in CYP1A1 and AHRR genes increase the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus and exacerbate disease severity in smoker patients. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2021; 35:e22916.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic variations of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway genes could influence the imbalanced immune response to xenobiotics. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the polymorphism of AHR pathway genes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in association with smoking. METHODS Genomic DNA from patients (N = 107) and controls (N = 105) of a population from northeast of Iran was used for genotyping of CYP1A1 T>C (rs4646903) and AHRR C>G (rs2292596) variants. The SLEDAI score and smoking status of the patients were registered. The AHR activity was estimated by CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). RESULTS The C allele in rs4646903 (odds ratio [OR] = 2.67) and G allele in rs2292596 (OR = 1.79) SNPs were significantly associated with the increased risk of SLE. The AHR pathway was more active in high-risk CYP1A1/AHRR: C/G haplotype. The most severe disease was observed in smoker patients with high-risk haplotype and both smoking (Exp (β) = 9.5) and high-risk CYP1A1/AHRR (C/G) haplotype (Exp (β) = 3.7) can significantly increase the likelihood of having severe (SLEDAI ≥ 20) SLE disease activity. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated the association of xenobiotic-metabolizing genes (CYP1A1, AHRR) polymorphisms with the susceptibility to SLE and disease severity regarding the smoking background, suggesting the interaction of gene and environmental risk factors in SLE pathogenesis.

Polymorphisms and haplotypes of IL2RA, IL10, IFNG, IRF5, and CCR2 are associated with Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in children. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2021; 68:e29097. [PMID: 34031980 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.29097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2020] [Revised: 04/11/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cytokine storms are central to the development of Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH). Previous studies have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cytokine genes may be associated with the development of EBV-HLH in children. As such, we investigated the association between susceptibility to EBV-HLH in children and SNPs and haplotypes of genes encoding interleukin-2 receptor subunit alpha (IL2RA), interleukin-10 (IL10), interferon gamma (IFNG), interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5), and C-C chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2). METHODS Sixty-six children with EBV-HLH and 58 healthy EBV-seropositive controls were enrolled in this study. SNPs of IL2RA rs2104286, rs12722489, and rs11594656; IL10 rs1800896, rs1800871, and rs1800872; IFNG rs2430561, IRF5 rs2004640, and CCR2 rs1799864 were assayed and genotyped using the SNaPshot technique. RESULTS Frequencies of the A allele of IL2RA rs2104286 and IL10 rs1800896, and C allele of IL-10 rs1800872 were significantly higher in the EBV-HLH group than in the control group. The AA genotype of IL2RA rs2104286 and IL10 rs1800896, and the CC genotype of IL10 rs1800872 might be associated with a significantly high risk of EBV-HLH. However, the frequencies of genotypes and alleles of IL2RA rs2104286, IL10 rs1800871, IFNG rs2430561, IRF5 rs2004640, and CCR2 rs1799864 were similar in both groups. Additionally, IL2RA AGT (rs2104286-rs12722489-rs11594656) and IL10 ACC (rs1800896-rs1800871-rs1800872) haplotypes were also associated with an increased risk of EBV-HLH. CONCLUSIONS SNPs of IL2RA rs2104286, IL10 rs1800896 and rs1800872 and the haplotypes of IL2RA AGT and IL10 ACC were highly associated with susceptibility to EBV-HLH in children.

J Med Virol 2021; 93:5853-5863. [PMID: 34081354 PMCID: PMC8242628 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.27127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Background The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection may rely on a potential genetic background for the variations in the inflammatory response. We aimed to investigate the possible correlation between polymorphisms in the IL‐6 gene at rs1800796/rs1800795, in IL‐6R at rs2228145, in IL‐10 at rs1800896 and rs1800871, in IL‐17 at rs2275913 and rs763780 loci, and COVID‐19 prevalence and mortality rates among populations of 23 countries. Methods We searched the literature for polymorphisms in China, Japan, India, Spain, Mexico, Sweden, Turkey, Brazil, Russia, Poland, Italy, South Africa, Netherlands, Greece, Germany, UK, Iran, Finland, Czechia, Tunisia, Norway, Egypt, Croatia. We recorded the prevalence and mortality rates (per million) caused by the Coronavirus infection recorded on 7th September 2020 and 6th December 2020. Results There was a significant positive correlation between the frequency of AG genotype of rs1800896 and prevalence recorded on 6th December 2020 (r: 0.53, r2: 0.28, p < .05). There was a significant negative correlation between the mortality rates recorded on 7th September, and the AG genotype of rs2275913 (r: −0.51, r2: 0.26, p < .05). There was a significant positive correlation between the prevalence recorded on 6th December, and TT genotype at rs763780 (r: 0.65, r2:0.42, p < .05) while a negative correlation between prevalence and TC genotype at rs763780 (r: −0.66, r2: 0.43, p < .05). Also, a significant negative correlation was found between mortality rates recorded on 6th December 2020 and CC genotype at rs763780 (r: −0.56, r2: 0.31, p < .05). Conclusion The variations in prevalence of COVID‐19 and its mortality rates among countries may be explained by the polymorphisms at rs1800896 in IL‐10, rs2275913 in IL‐17A, and rs763780 loci in the IL‐17F gene. The variations in prevalence of COVID‐19 and its mortality rates among 23 countries may be explained by the polymorphisms at rs1800896 in IL‐10, rs2275913 in IL‐17A, and rs763780 loci in the IL‐17F gene. AG genotype frequency of rs1800896 was positively correlated with prevalence recorded on 6th December 2020. The mortality rates recorded on 7th September was negatively correlated with AG genotype frequency of rs2275913. The prevalence recorded on 6th December was positively correlated with frequency of TT and negatively with TC genotype at rs763780. The mortality rates recorded on 6th December 2020 was negatively correlated with CC genotype frequency at rs763780.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinicopathologically heterogeneous chronic autoimmune disorder affecting different organs and tissues. It has been reported that there is an increasing rate of SLE incidence among Iranian population. Moreover, the Iranian SLE patients have more severe clinical manifestations compared with other countries. Therefore, it is required to introduce novel methods for the early detection of SLE in this population. Various environmental and genetic factors are involved in SLE progression. MAIN BODY In present review we have summarized all of the reported genes which have been associated with clinicopathological features of SLE among Iranian patients. CONCLUSIONS Apart from the reported cytokines and chemokines, it was interestingly observed that the apoptosis related genes and non-coding RNAs were the most reported genetic abnormalities associated with SLE progression among Iranians. This review clarifies the genetics and molecular biology of SLE progression among Iranian cases. Moreover, this review paves the way of introducing an efficient panel of genetic markers for the early detection and better management of SLE in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Prognosis of advanced stages of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains poor. To clarify therapeutic targets and improve survival rate, identification of new specific and prognostic biomarkers of LSCC is required. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of IL-10:rs1800871, rs1800872, rs1800896 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and IL-10 serum levels on LSCC development and determine associations of selected SNPs with patient survival rate. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 300 LSCC patients and 533 controls were included in the study. Genotyping was carried out using RT-PCR; IL-10 serum levels were analyzed by ELISA. RESULTS Significant associations were identified between IL-10 rs1800871 variants and advanced stage of LSCC patient group in the codominant, recessive and additive models (OR=0.473, p=0.027; OR=0.510, p=0.040; and OR=0.733; p=0.037). Significant variants of IL-10 rs1800872 were determined in the codominant, recessive and additive models (OR=0.473, p=0.027; OR=0.510, p=0.040; and OR=0.733, p=0.037). The distribution of IL-10 SNPs genotypes did not impact LSCC patient survival rate (respectively, p=0.952; p=0.952; p=0.991). CONCLUSION IL-10:rs1800871 and rs1800872 SNPs are associated with advanced stage of LSCC. The genotypic distribution of IL-10 SNPs does not influence the survival rate of LSCC patients.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the impact of interleukin (IL)-10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and its interaction with environment on the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Chi-square testing method was used to investigate whether the distributions for genotype of four SNPs were differed from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). Logistic regression was used to test the association between IL-10 SNPs and SLE risk. The best interaction combinations between IL-10 SNPs and environmental factors were assessed by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR). Both rs1800896-G and rs1800871-T alleles were associated with increased risk of SLE, the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence interval (CI)) for the two SNPs were 1.68 (1.25-2.09) and 1.47 (1.12-1.94), respectively. Then, we used the GMDR method to analyze the high-order interactions of four SNPs within IL-10 gene and environmental factors on SLE risk. We found a significant interaction combination (two-locus model with P = 0.001) between rs1800896 and smoking, after adjusting for gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and alcohol drinking. We also used two-variable stratified analysis by logistic regression to analyze the synergistic effect between two variables (rs1800896 and smoking), which had significant significance in GMDR model. We found that current smokers with rs1800896-AG or GG genotype have the highest SLE risk, compared with never smokers with the rs1800896-AA genotype, OR (95% CI) = 2.24 (1.52-3.58). The rs1800896-G and rs1800871-T alleles and interaction between rs1800896 and current smoking were all associated with increased risk of SLE.

Abstract
Psoriasis is chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease with a multifactorial etiology that affects the skin tissue and causes the appearance of dry and scaly lesions of anywhere on the body. The study of the pathophysiology of psoriasis reveals a network of immune cells that, together with their cytokines, initiates a chronic inflammatory response. Previously attributed to T helper (Th)1 cytokines, currently the Th17 cytokine family is the major effector in the pathogenesis of psoriatic disease and strongly influences the inflammatory pattern established during the disease activity. In addition, the vast network of cells that orchestrates the pathophysiology makes psoriasis complex to study. Along with this, variations in genes that code the cytokines make psoriasis more clinically heterogeneous and present a challenge for the development of drugs that can be used in the treatment of the patients with this disease. Therefore, it is important to clarify the mechanisms by which the cytokines are involved in the pathophysiology of psoriasis and how this knowledge is translated to the medical practice.

Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytokine genes including interleukin-10 have been described to play a vital role in the overall pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, due to a lack of evidence from the Indian population, this study was conducted to analyse the possible influence of interleukin-10 promoter polymorphisms over the disease susceptibility, serum interleukin-10 level and clinical manifestations of the disease in Indian systemic lupus erythematosus patients. In total, 200 systemic lupus erythematosus patients and 201 controls were recruited under this study. Genotyping of interleukin-10 (−1082A/G; −819T/C and −592C/A) polymorphisms was done by direct DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods respectively. Serum interleukin-10 levels were measured by multiplex assay. Interleukin-10 −1082G and −592A allele frequencies were significantly increased in systemic lupus erythematosus patients (corrected p value <0.05). Also, combined −1082AG+GG, −819TC+CC and −592CA+AA genotype frequencies were significantly increased in the patient group. A higher trend of association between −1082AG+GG genotype frequency was observed in patients with serositis (odds ratio = 2.7, p = 0.0233, corrected p value = 0.2097). Serum interleukin-10 levels were significantly higher in systemic lupus erythematosus patients (4.3 ± 3.1 pg/ml) than controls (2.6 ± 1.4 pg/ml) ( p < 0.0001). Furthermore, interleukin-10 levels were positively correlated with disease activity ( p = 0.39, p < 0.0001). The frequency of the GCA (−1082, −819, −592) haplotype was significantly higher in systemic lupus erythematosus patients (10.6%) than controls (1.6%) (odds ratio = 5.4, p = 0.0330). Moreover, ACC, GCC and GCA haplotypes were found to be strongly associated with serositis. However, the frequency of the ACC haplotype was significantly higher in patients with neurologic involvement (odds ratio = 14.9, corrected p value <0.001). Thus, interleukin-10 promoter polymorphisms suggest they have a proactive role in increased susceptibility to the disease among Indian systemic lupus erythematosus patients.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the breakdown of immune tolerance leading to excessive inflammation and tissue damage. Imbalance in the levels of cytokines represents one of the multifactorial causes of SLE pathogenesis and it contributes to disease severity. Deregulated levels of T helper type 1 (Th1), type 2 (Th2), and type 17 (Th17) cytokines have been associated with autoimmune inflammation. Growing evidence has shown deregulated levels of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines in SLE patients compared to healthy controls associated with disease activity and severity. In this review, we describe and discuss the levels of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines in SLE patients, and clinical trials involving Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines in SLE patients. In particular, with the exception of IL-2, IL-4, and TGF-β1, the levels of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines are increased in SLE patients associated with disease severity. Current phase II or III studies involve therapeutic antibodies targeting IFN-α and type I IFN receptor, while low-dose IL-2 therapy is assessed in phase II clinical trials.
