Abstract
Inflammation, especially chronic inflammation, is closely linked to tumor development. As essential chronic inflammatory cytokines, the interleukin family plays a key role in inflammatory infections and malignancies. The interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (IL1RA), as a naturally occurring receptor antagonist, is the first discovered and can compete with IL-1 in binding to the receptor. Recent studies have revealed the association of the polymorphisms in IL1RA with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), cervical squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and bronchus squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we reviewed the antitumor potential of IL1RA as an IL-1-targeted inhibitor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-vaccination safety is a major public health concern. The genetic predisposition on immune response has not been clearly identified. Clarifying whether individual genetic predisposition plays a role on adverse events (AEs) is critical for the prevention of AEs. METHODS From July 2019 to June 2020, we performed a case-control study among children aged 3-24 months in seven Chinese provinces. Each child received a combination vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTaP-Hib). Through daily telephone follow-up, we collected AEs within seven days. Oral swab samples were collected to investigate the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the risk of AEs. RESULTS 304 participants were included in the study. In univariate analysis, we discovered three protective SNPs (rs452204, OR = 0.67, P = 0.0352; rs9282763 and rs839, OR = 0.64, P = 0.0256) and one risk SNP (rs9610, OR = 2.20, P = 0.0397). In multivariate analysis, the effects of rs452204 and rs839 were found to be stable. The interaction between rs452204 and rs9610 was observed (OR = 7.25, 95% CI: 1.44-36.58, P = 0.0165). CONCLUSION Genetic predisposition was associated with the risk of AEs after DTaP-Hib vaccination, emphasizing the potential application in the prevention of AEs.

Abstract
Objective Atherosclerosis (AS) is a life-threatening disease in aging populations worldwide. However, the molecular and gene regulation mechanisms of AS are still unclear. This study aimed to identify gene expression differences between atheroma plaques and normal tissues in humans. Methods The expression profiling dataset GSE43292 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the atheroma plaques and normal tissues via GEO2R, and functional annotation of the DEGs was performed by GSEA. STRING and MCODE plug-in of Cytoscape were used to construct a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and analyze hub genes. Finally, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed to verify the hub genes. Results Overall, 134 DEGs were screened. Functional annotation demonstrated that these DEGs were mainly enriched in sphingolipid metabolism, apoptosis, lysosome, and more. Six hub genes were identified from the PPI network: ITGAX, CCR1, IL1RN, CXCL10, CD163, and MMP9. qPCR analysis suggested that the relative expression levels of the six hub genes were significantly higher in AS samples. Conclusions We used bioinformatics to identify six hub genes: ITGAX, CCR1, IL1RN, CXCL10, CD163, and MMP9. These hub genes are potential promising diagnostic and therapeutic targets for AS.

[PMID: 35272075 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2022.155851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra or IL-1RN) is a member of the IL-1 superfamily that functions as a competitive antagonist of the cell surface IL-1 receptor, thereby regulating various immune and inflammatory responses related to IL-1. IL-1 induces tumor growth and metastasis, while IL-1RN inhibits the secretion of IL-1α and IL-6 in cancer cells. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine, can be secreted by many types of immune cells. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the effects of IL-1RN and IL-4 VNTR polymorphisms on disease development and survival in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, 244 patients diagnosed with MM in hematology clinic between January 2010 and January 2021, and 179 healthy individuals were included. The genotypes of the IL-1RN VNTR polymorphism were statistically compared before treatment between patients having undergone stem cell transplantation and healthy controls, as were the genotypes of IL-4 VNTR polymorphism. Additionally, the statistically significant effects of these genotypes on survival were examined. RESULTS In the statistical analysis of the distribution of IL-1RN VNTR gene variants, 1/3 and 1/4 genotypes were found to be significantly higher in patients with MM compared to the healthy controls (p = 0.035). There was no significant difference between the MM patient group and the healthy controls in terms of IL-4 VNTR genotype distribution. PFS of patients with IL-1RN VNTR non-2-allele carrier genotypes was significantly shorter, but no significant effect was found on OS (p = 0.03, p = 0.786, respectively). Patients with IL-1RN VNTR non-2-allele carrier genotypes had 1.718-fold increased risk of shorter PFS. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, with this study, the effects of IL-1RN VNTR and IL-4 VNTR polymorphisms on MM were evaluated for the first time in the literature. This study will shed light on ones on cytokine-MM relationship and epigenetic mechanisms.

Abstract
Introduction: Lymphoma is a common hematopoietic cancer. Immunosuppression is one of the main risk factors for the development of lymphoma. The interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist IL1RN, which binds to the IL-1 receptor, moderates a variety of immune responses related to IL-1. We aimed to assess the impact of IL1RN variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism on lymphoma risk in an Iranian population sample. Materials and Methods: DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 120 subjects with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), 50 subjects with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and 186 unrelated healthy individuals. IL1RN VNTR polymorphism was detected using polymerase chain reaction. Results: Our findings revealed that the IL1RN VNTR polymorphism was associated with protection against NHL (P≤0.001, OR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.18-0.53). The IL1RN 2 allele significantly decreased the risk of NHL (p = 0.023, OR = 0.66, 95%CI = 0.46-0.93). In addition, we found that IL1RN 1/2 was associated with a lower risk of HL (p ≤0.001, OR = 0.24, 95%CI = 0.12-0.50). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the presence of IL1RN VNTR polymorphism is associated with a decreased risk of lymphoma in an Iranian subpopulation in southeast Iran.
