Abstract
Interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R), mediating IL-6's biological functions, plays an important role in different diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cardio-vascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), within the IL-6R loci, previously associated with C-reactive protein (CRP) and coronary heart diseases risk, and with controversial effects on lipids traits: SNP rs4845625 and SNP rs4537545. The results showed that both investigated SNPs were antagonistically related with CRP levels; the minor rs4845625*T allele was associated with increased CRP levels (P-value=0.011), while the minor rs4537545*T allele was associated with decreased CRP levels (P-value=0.009). Interestingly, the minor rs4845625*T allele was significantly associated with higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and ApoB levels (P=0.007 and P=0.009 respectively). Haplotype analysis showed that the TC haplotype, having the minor rs4845625*T allele, was related simultaneously with increased levels of CRP, LDL-C and ApoB levels, thus could be considered as a risk factor. Our investigation detects for the first time an independent effect of rs4845625 on LDL-C and ApoB traits, explaining an important range of those traits variability (3.49 and 5.57% respectively). Our findings might be of high clinical significance in pharmacogenomics studies of tocilizumab for which IL-6R is target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The extracellular matrix (ECM) of ligaments continuously undergoes remodelling in order to maintain tissue homeostasis. Several key mediators of ECM remodelling were chosen for investigation in the present study. It is thought that polymorphisms within genes encoding signalling molecules may contribute to inter-individual variation in the responses to mechanical loading, potentially altering risk of injury. DESIGN A genetic association study was conducted on 232 asymptomatic controls (CON) and 234 participants with surgically diagnosed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures; of which 135 participants reported a non-contact mechanism of injury (NON subgroup). METHODS All participants were genotyped for ten variants in eight genes encoding ECM remodelling proteins. Haplotypes and allele combinations were also inferred. RESULTS The CASP8 rs3834129 ins allele was significantly over-represented in the male CON group compared to the male NON subgroup (p=0.047, OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.01-2.12). In female participants, the IL1B rs16944 TT genotype was significantly under-represented in the CON group compared to the NON subgroup (p=0.039, OR: 3.06, 95% CI: 1.09-8.64). Haplotype analysis revealed an under-representation of the CASP8 rs3834129-rs1045485 del-G haplotype in the CON group compared to both the ACL group (p=0.042; haplo.score:2.03) and the NON subgroup (p=0.037; haplo.score:2.09). Furthermore, following a pathway-based approach, genetic variants involved in the cell signalling cascade were associated with ACL injury risk. CONCLUSIONS The novel independent associations and allele combinations observed implicate the apoptosis and cell signalling cascades as potential contributors to ACL injury susceptibility. Furthermore, these genetic variants may potentially modulate ECM remodelling in response to loading and ultimately contribute to ligament capacity.

Abstract
Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the circulating IL-6 and leptin levels with taste alteration in young obese patients. Methods. A retrospective case-control study was conducted in thirty obese patients and thirty age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Results. Circulating levels of IL-6 and leptin were significantly increased in obese patients than in controls. However, catalase and ORAC levels were significantly decreased in obese patients compared to controls. Additionally, obese participants had high scores for the detection of fats (gustatory response scores [GRS]; p < 0.001). Moreover, IL-6 and leptin were strongly associated with GRS alteration among patients with GRS 4 (resp., OR =17.5 [95% CI, 1.56–193.32; p = 0.007]; OR = 16 [95% CI, 1.69–151.11; p = 0.006]). For the Mantel-Haenszel common odds ratio estimate (MH OR), IL-6 and leptin were strongly associated with obesity, in patients with either GRS 4 or GRS > 4 (resp., MH OR = 8.77 [95% CI, 2.06–37.44; p = 0.003]; MH OR = 5.76 [95% CI, 1.64–20.24; p = 0.006]). Conclusions. In a low grade inflammation linked to obesity, taste alteration is associated with high levels of IL-6 and leptin.

Abstract
To investigate the contribution of the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to the neurological status of Korean patients with ischemic stroke (IS), two SNPs of the IL-6R gene (rs4845617, 5 UTR; rs2228144, Ala31Ala) were selected. IS patients were classified into clinical phenotypes according to two well-defined scores: the National Institutes of Health Stroke Survey (NIHSS) and the Modified Barthel Index scores. There were 121 IS patients and 291 control subjects. The SNP rs4845617 significantly contributed to the neurological status of patients with IS (P = 0.011 in codominant model 2, P = 0.006 in recessive model, and P = 0.008 in log-additive model). Allele frequencies of rs4845617 and rs2228144 demonstrated no significant difference in IS patients and controls. The AG and GG haplotypes differed between the NIHSS 1 (NIHSS scores < 6) group and the NIHSS 2 (NIHSS scores ≥ 6) group in patients with IS (P = 0.014, P = 0.0024). These results suggest that rs4845617 of the IL-6R gene is associated with the neurologic status of Korean patients with IS.

Abstract
The importance of the study of an association of mitochondrial DNA mutations with asymptomatic atherosclerosis in women is undeniable. In the present study, a series of PCR with primers for mutation region and further amplificate pyrosequencing were carried out to identify point substitutions or microdeletions of the mitochondrial genome. The results obtained were processed using the original method of estimating the level of heteroplasmy. Five mutations in the mitochondrial genome, namely C3256T, G14709A, G12315A, G13513A and G14846A, in which the heteroplasmy level was associated with the degree of preclinical atherosclerosis in women, were identified. The data obtained in the study showed that C3256T, G14709A and G12315A mutations have a positive correlation with atherosclerosis while G13513A and G14846A mutations have a negative correlation with atherosclerotic lesions. Total mutational load of the mitochondrial genome for C3256T, G14709A, G12315A, G13513A and G14846A mutations explains 68% of the variability of thickness of the carotid intima-medial layer, while the complex of traditional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases explains only 8% of the IMT variability. Data on the correlation between heteroplasmy levels of C3256T, G14709A, G12315A, G13513A and G14846A mutations prompt a suggestion that these mutations may be present on the same haplotypes of mitochondrial genome, associated with atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Background. IL-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a critical role in host defense against tuberculosis (TB). Genetic polymorphisms of IL-6 and its receptor IL-6R had been discussed in adult TB recently. However, their role in pediatric TB is still unclear. Due to the obvious differences in TB pathophysiology in children, which may also reflect differences in genetic background, further association studies in pediatric populations are needed. Methods. A case-control study was carried out in a Chinese pediatric population including 353 TB patients and 400 healthy controls. Tag-SNPs of IL-6 and IL-6R genes were selected by Haploview software, genotyped using MassArray, and analyzed statistically. Results. One polymorphism, rs2229238, in the 3'UTR region of IL-6R was observed to be associated with increased resistance to TB (adjusted P = 0.03). The rs2229238 T allele contributed to a reduced risk to TB in recessive heritable model (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.35–0.78). Conclusions. By tag-SNP genotyping based case-control study, we identified a genetic polymorphism in the IL-6R 3'UTR that regulates host resistance to pediatric TB in a Chinese population.

Abstract
Two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs7529229 and rs2228145) in the interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) gene have recently been associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in a European population. We sought to replicate this finding and to investigate associations of these two SNPs with the severity and clinical phenotypes of premature CHD in a Chinese Han population. A total of 418 patients were studied, including 187 cases with coronary stenosis ≥50 % or acute myocardial infarction (males < 55 years and females < 65 years) and 231 controls without documented CHD. A ligase detection reaction was performed to detect rs7529229 and rs2228145. There were no differences between the controls and premature CHD groups in the frequencies for the three genotypes and alleles of rs7529229 and rs2228145 (all P > 0.05), nor did they differ between the two groups when grouped by gender (all P > 0.05). There were also no associations between these two SNPs and the severity of coronary lesions or clinical phenotypes of premature CHD (all P > 0.05). Our results do not support an association between rs7529229 or rs2228145 with premature CHD in the Chinese Han population. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the role of these two SNPs in the development of atherosclerosis and CHD.
