Cytokine (IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α and TGF-β1) Gene Polymorphisms in Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection among Malay Male Drug Abusers. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9091115. [PMID: 34572300 PMCID: PMC8469205 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9091115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Revised: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Cytokines play an important role in modulating inflammation during viral infection, including hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Genetic polymorphisms of cytokines can alter the immune response against this infection. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible association between chronic hepatitis C virus infection susceptibility and cytokine gene polymorphism for interleukin-10 (IL-10) rs1800896 and rs1800871, interleukin 6 (IL-6) rs1800795, TNF-α rs1800629, and TGF-β1 rs1800471 in Malay male drug abusers. The study was conducted on 76 HCV-positive (HP) male drug abusers and 40 controls (HCV-negative male drug abusers). We found that there were significant differences in the frequencies of genotype for IL-10 rs1800871 (p = 0.0386) and at the allelic level for IL-10 rs1800896 A versus G allele (p = 0.0142) between the HP group and the control group. However, there were no significant differences in gene polymorphism in interleukin 6 rs1800795, TNF-α rs1800629 and TGF-β1 rs1800471. These findings suggest significant associations between gene polymorphism for IL-10 rs1800871, IL-10 rs1800896 (at the allelic level) and susceptibility to HCV infection among Malay male drug abusers.

Abstract
Background Although several researches have reported the connection between the transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) gene polymorphisms and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the conclusions of these studies were not always consistent. Here, this paper proposed a meta-analysis to evaluate whether the TGF-ß1 gene polymorphisms, −509C/T (rs1800469), codon 10 T/C (rs1982073) and codon 25G/C (rs1800471), were associated with chronic HCV infection. Methods The summary odds ratios (ORs) of chronic HCV infected patients and controls with all SNPs were obtained by adaptive fixed or random effect model. A series of statistical tools were employed to guarantee the accuracy of related pooling ORs, including the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test, sensitivity analysis and publication bias test. Results This paper analyzed 18 case-control studies in 17 articles which totally contains 2718 chronic HCV infection cases corresponding to 1964 controls. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that the −509C/T polymorphism effected an increased risk of chronic HCV infection in all gene models. More specifically by ethnicity stratification, the Egyptians shared the similar association with the above overall study. Moreover, the meta-fusion of healthy control studies showed that − 509 T allele carriers (TT + TA) had nearly 2.00 and 3.36 fold higher risk of chronic HCV infection in the total and Egyptian populations, respectively (OR = 2.004, 95% CI = 1.138–3.528, P = 0.016; OR = 3.363, 95% CI = 1.477–7.655, P = 0.004, respectively). However, our meta-analysis did not find any significant association between the codon 10 T/C or codon 25G/C polymorphisms and chronic HCV infection. Conclusions Our results suggested that the TGF-ß1–509C/T polymorphism may effect an increased risk of chronic HCV infection, especially in Egyptian population.

TGF-β1 polymorphisms -509 C>T and +915 G>C and risk of pancreatic cancer. GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY FROM BED TO BENCH 2017; 10:14-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ninety percent of pancreatic cancer patients have less than 5-year overall survival and approximately 50% of cases were diagnosed with metastasis in the time of admission. Previous evidences have demonstrated the strong association between TGF-β1 variations and cancer susceptibility so far. METHODS A total of 78 patients with pancreatic cancer and 94 healthy controls were enrolled in this case- control study between 2007 and 2012. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples according to phenol chloroform extraction. The genotypes of TGF-β1 rs rs1800469 and rs1800471 were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. RESULTS The mean age of cases and the control group were 64.50 ± 13.718 and 40.12 ± 16.001, respectively. For polymorphism -509 C>T, the frequency of TT genotype were 31 (33.0), CT, 47(50) and CC, 16 (17) in control and 19 (24.4), 45 (57.7) and 14 (17.9) in cases respectively. In position +915 G>C, the frequency of GG genotype was 84 (89.4) and GC, 10 (10.6) in control and 71 (91.0) and 7 (9) in cases, respectively. We did not observe any significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of the TGF-β1-509 C>T (rs1800469) and codon +915 G>C (rs1800471) between the two study groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION we found that TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800471 might not play a role in pancreatic cancer susceptibility in Iranian population.

Common ABCB1 polymorphisms in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C infection: A comparison with hyperlipidemic patients and the general population. Pharmacol Rep 2015; 68:476-82. [PMID: 26922556 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharep.2015.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2015] [Revised: 10/23/2015] [Accepted: 10/23/2015] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus infectivity and replication efficiency appears to be dependent on the lipid content and organization of the plasma membrane of the host cell, as well as of the intracellular membranous web. As there is increasing awareness of a role played by the efflux pump ABCB1 (p-glycoprotein, P-gp) in lipid homeostasis, its function could be a determinant of chronic HCV infection. The aim of the present study was to examine and compare the distribution of common ABCB1 genotypes in patients with chronic HCV infection (n=168), hyperlipidemic patients (n=168) and a control group (n=173), all from Greece. METHODS Participants were genotyped for the ABCB12677G>T/A and 3435C>T polymorphisms with previously reported PCR-RFLP methods. Genotype and allele frequency distributions were compared between the three groups with the χ(2) test of independence. RESULTS The ABCB1 2677GG (ancestral) genotypes were significantly over-represented in patients with chronic hepatitis C compared to controls (39.3% vs. 26.6%, p=0.015 according to the dominant model). A similar result was obtained when hyperlipidemic patients were compared to controls (45.2% vs. 26.6%, p<0.001 according to the dominant model). Comparison of ABCB1 3435C>T genotype and allele distributions provided similar but not as significant differences. Genotype and allele distributions for both ABCB12677G>T/A and 3435C>T were very similar between HCV patients and hyperlipidemic patients. CONCLUSION Our findings imply an influence of ABCB1 polymorphisms on HCV infectivity, possibly through an effect on lipid homeostasis.
