Association between the Interleukin 10-1082G>A polymorphism and coronary heart disease risk in a Caucasian population: a meta-analysis

Interleukin-10 -1082 G/A polymorphism and its association with early or severe presentation of coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

INTRODUCTION

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine with potent deactivating properties on macrophages and T cells; and plays an important role in atherosclerotic plaque maturation and rupture. A guanine (G) to adenine (A) substitution in the IL-10 gene at -1082 bp (rs1800896) has been associated with reduced in IL-10 production in vitro. Against this background, we tested the association of IL-10 -1082G/A with early or severe presentation of coronary artery disease (CAD) using a systematic review and updated meta-analysis of published association studies.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Relevant studies were identified following a comprehensive online search on PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane library and Web of Science databases and stratified into two subgroups based on mode of CAD presentation: early or severe and non-severe. Study level odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using random effects employing a Z test.

RESULTS

A total of 24 studies were included for quantitative synthesis with a cumulative sample of 19,135 (11,143 cases / 7,992 controls). A significant association was derived for IL-10 -1082G/A and early or severe CAD via dominant, recessive, and allelic genetic model comparisons [OR 1.24 (95 % CI 1.02, 1.50), p = 0.03; OR 1.32 (95 % CI 1.03, 1.69), p = 0.03 and OR 1.18 (95 % CI 1.02, 1.36), p = 0.02 respectively]. In contrast, no significant association was seen for the pooled group or non-severe CAD subgroup (p = NS). Sensitivity analysis showed consistent results.

CONCLUSIONS

IL-10 -1082G/A appears to be associated with early or severe presentation of CAD. Further studies are warranted to confirm this association.

Interleukin-10 and Transforming Growth Factor Beta1 Gene Polymorphisms in Chronic Heart Failure

BACKGROUND

As cytokines, including interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) seem to contribute towards the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure (CHF), this study was performed to assess the associations of certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of these genes in a case control study.

METHODS

This investigation was carried out to determine the frequency of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes of TGF-β1 and IL-10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 57 Iranian patients with CHF compared with 140 healthy subjects using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers method.

RESULTS

Results of the analyzed data divulged a negative association for both TGF-β1 GC genotype at codon 25 (P=0.047) and CT genotype at codon 10 (P=0.018) and CHF proneness. Although, TGF-β1 CC genotype at codon 10 was found to be positively associated with CHF (P=0.011). Moreover, the frequency of IL-10 (-1082, -819, -592) ATA haplotype and TGF-β1 (codon 10, codon 25) TG haplotype were significantly lower in the patients group (P=0.004 and P=0.040, respectively), while TGF-β1 (codon 10, codon 25) CG haplotype was overrepresented in patients with CHF (P=0.007).

CONCLUSIONS

Cytokine gene polymorphisms might affect vulnerability to CHF. Particular genotypes and haplotypes in IL-10 and TGF-β1 genes could render individuals more susceptible to CHF.

A study of association between regulatory polymorphism in the IL-10 gene promoter region and acute viral hepatitis, and acute liver failure

BACKGROUND

The level of inflammatory cytokine Interleukin (IL)-10 is increased in patients infected with hepatitis-related acute liver failure (ALF), and this was thought to be because of the regulatory polymorphism in the IL-10 gene promoter region. The present study was designed to analyze the possible association between IL-10 gene promoter polymorphism and acute viral hepatitis (AVH), and ALF. An attempt was made to quantify IL-10 levels at admission, during the hospital stay, and at the final outcome to study its relationship with liver injury among patients with AVH, ALF, and controls.

METHODS

The study included 40 patients each with ALF and AVH. IL-10 gene promoter polymorphism was detected by the PCR-RFLP method. Quantification of IL-10 was done using commercially available ELISA kits.

RESULTS

The individuals with -592 AC, -819 TC, -1082 AA genotypes were found to have a significantly higher risk of ALF whereas those with -592 AA and - 819 CC polymorphism were found to be less susceptible. Individuals with - 819 CC were found to be more susceptible to AVH while those with -592 AA and -819 TT were less susceptible as compared to controls. Mean serum IL-10 at admission was significantly elevated in patients with ALF (38.4±11.3 pg/mL) as compared to patients with AVH (16.7±5.4 pg/mL) and control population (8.3±3.6 pg/mL, p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Regulatory polymorphism in the IL-10 gene promoter has a possible and significant association with severity and outcome in patients with AVH and ALF. Raised levels of IL-10 could be predictive of prognosis in patients with ALF.

Meta-analysis of the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-10-1082G/A and rheumatic heart disease

Background

The results showed that there was a certain correlation between the single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-10-1082G/A and rheumatic heart disease, but there was no systematic study to verify this conclusion.

Aims

Systematic review of the association between single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-10-1082G/A locus and rheumatic heart disease.

Materials and Methods

Computer retrieval PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Data WanFang, the retrieval time limit from inception to June 2017. A case control study of single nucleotide polymorphisms and rheumatic heart disease in patients with rheumatic heart disease in the IL-10-1082G/A was collected. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias in the study, and using RevMan5.3 software for data analysis.

Results

A total of 3 case control studies were included, including 318 patients with rheumatic heart disease and 502 controls. Meta-analysis showed that there was no correlation between IL-10-1082G/A gene polymorphism and rheumatic heart disease [AA+AG VS GG: OR = 0.62, 95% CI (0.28, 1.39), P = 0.25; AA VS AG+GG: OR = 0.73, 95% CI (0.54, 1.00), P = 0.05; AA VS GG: OR = 0.70, 95% CI(0.47, 1.05), P = 0.08; AG VS GG: OR = 0.65, 95% CI (0.22, 1.92), P = 0.43; A VS G: OR = 0.87, 95% CI (0.71, 1.06), P = 0.17].

Conclusions

When AA is a recessive gene, the single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-10-1082G/A is associated with the presence of rheumatic heart disease. Due to the limitations of the quantity and quality of the included literatures, the further research results were still needed.

Interleukin-10 Production in Response to Amyloid-β Differs between Slow and Fast Decliners in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease

We investigated IL-10 and IL-6 production in amyloid-β (Aβ) stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in twenty Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with slow progression, eleven with fast progression, and twenty age-matched controls. Promoter polymorphisms in IL-10 (position -592, -819, -1082), IL-6 (-174), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (-10, -25), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (-874), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (-308) genes were analyzed. IL-10 production after Aβ stimulation was high in PBMCs from slow decliners and almost completely abrogated in fast decliners. Association between AA IFN-γ low-producing genotype and fast progression was demonstrated. Investigations in a larger sample will clarify these findings.

Association study of inflammatory genes with rheumatic heart disease in North Indian population: A multi-analytical approach

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an inflammatory, autoimmune disease; occurring as a consequence of group A streptococcal infection complicated by rheumatic fever (RF). An inappropriate immune response is the central signature tune to the complex pathogenesis of RHD. However, some of those infected develop RHD, and genetic host susceptibility factors are thought to play a key role in diseasedevelopment. Therefore, the present study was designed to explore the role of genetic variants in inflammatory genes in conferring risk of RHD. The study recruited total of 700 subjects, including 400 RHD patients and 300 healthy controls. We examined the associations of 8 selected polymorphisms in seven inflammatory genes: IL-6 [rs1800795G/C], IL-10 [rs1800896G/A], TNF-A [rs1800629G/A], IL-1β [rs2853550C/T], IL-1VNTR [rs2234663], TGF-β1 [rs1800469C/T]; [rs1982073T/C], and CTLA-4 [rs5742909C/T] with RHD risk. Genotyping for all the polymorphisms was done using PCR-ARMS/PCR/RFLP methods. Multifactor dimensionality reduction and classification and regression tree approaches were combined with logistic regression to discover high-order gene-gene interactions in studiedgenes involved in RHD susceptibility.In univariate logistic regression analysis, we found significant association of variant-containing genotypes (CT&TT) of TGF-β1 869T/C [rs1982073]; [p=0.0.004 & 0.001, OR (95% CI)=1.65 (1.2-2.3) & 2.25 (1.4-3.6) respectively], variant genotype (CC) of IL-1β -511C/T [rs2853550]; [p=0.001, OR (95% CI)=2.33 (1.4-3.8)] and IL-1 VNTR [rs2234663]; [p=0.03, OR (95% CI)=5.25 (1.2-23.4)] SNPs with RHD risk. CART analysis revealed that individuals with the combined genotypes of TGF-β1T/C_ rs1982073 (CT/TT) and IL-1 β_ rs2853550 (CC) had significantly higher susceptibility for RHD [p=0.0005, OR (95% CI)=5.91 (2.9-12.5)]. In MDR analysis, TGF-β1 869T>C yielded the highest testing accuracy of 0.562. In conclusion, using multi-analytical approaches, our study revealed important role of TGF-β1 869T/C [rs1982073] in RHD susceptibility.

The A to G polymorphism at -1082 of the interleukin-10 gene is rare in the Han Chinese population

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a multifunctional anti-inflammatory cytokine involved in various physiological and pathophysiological processes including cardiovascular disease. It has been reported that 50-75% of the variation in IL-10 production is genetically controlled. In the present study, the IL-10 -1082A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism was detected in 174 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients confirmed by selective coronary angiography and 176 age and gender-matched controls from the Jiangsu area (East China). The majority of the subjects (93.14%) carried the AA wild-type genotype, whereas only 0.29% carried the GG genotype. Our results suggest that IL-10 -1082A/G is rare and unlikely to be a significant contributory to disease susceptibility in the Han Chinese population.
