[PMID: 38290570 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2024.104886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an acute-phase protein that plays an important role in the inflammatory response, vascular inflammation, and atherosclerosis process. The study aimed to establish whether IL-6 gene polymorphisms and IL-6 concentrations are associated with premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS The IL-6 concentrations and the rs2069827, rs1800796, and rs1800795 IL-6 polymorphisms were determined in 1150 pCAD patients and 1083 healthy controls (coronary artery calcium equal to zero determined by tomography). RESULTS The IL-6 polymorphisms studied were not associated with pCAD, but they were associated with cardiovascular risk factors in patients and controls. In controls, under the dominant model, the rs1800795 C allele and the rs2069827 T allele were associated with a low risk of central obesity (OR = 0.401, p = 0.017 and OR = 0.577, p = 0.031, respectively), hypoalphalipoproteinemia (OR = 0.581, p = 0.027 and OR = 0.700, p = 0.014, respectively) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 0.575, p = 0.030 and OR = 0.728, p = 0.033, respectively). In pCAD, the rs1800795 C allele was associated with an increased risk of hypoalphalipoproteinemia (OR = 1.370, padditive = 0.025) and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations (OR = 1.491, padditive = 0.007). pCAD patients had significantly higher serum IL-6 concentrations compared to controls (p = 0.002). In the total population, individuals carrying the rs1800795 GC + CC genotypes had higher levels of IL-6 than carriers of the GG genotype (p = 0.025). In control individuals carrying the C allele (CG + CC), an inverse correlation was observed between IL-6 and HDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS In summary, the IL-6 polymorphisms were not associated with pCAD, however, they were associated with cardiovascular risk factors in pCAD patients and healthy controls. Individuals carrying the rs1800795 GC + CC genotypes had higher levels of IL-6 than carriers of the GG genotype.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common autoimmune diseases globally, and is an important public health concern, associating with early death and systemic complications. Although key development in RA treatment has already been made still RA affected individuals face comorbidity and disability. Therefore, there is a need to discover new risk factors in helping early diagnosis and treatment of RA. The present study is designed to assess the variations of Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and interleukin -6 (IL-6) in RA patients. Polymorphisms of said genes were calculated in 300 RA patients and 300 controls, using Tetra-ARMS polymerase chain reaction. Secondly, expression levels of selected genes were checked using the quantitative PCR (qPCR) and obtained results were evaluated using a different statistical test. Logistic regression analysis showed that frequency of mutant allele of VDR gene polymorphisms (rs11168268, OR = 4.84; 95% CI = 2.94-7.97; p = 0.0001; rs2248098, OR = 1.65; 95% CI = 1.07-2.54; p = 0.02) and IL-6 gene polymorphisms (rs184229712, OR = 2.47; 95% CI = 1.56-3.92, p = 0.0001; rs36215814, OR = 2.14; 95% CI = 1.30-3.53; p = 0.002) was observed significantly higher in RA patients vs controls. Expression analysis showed the significant upregulation of IL-6 (p < 0.0001) and downregulation of VDR gene (p < 0.0001) in RA cases vs controls. ROC curve analysis showed that downregulation of IL-6 (AUC = 0.86, p < 0.001) and upregulation of VDR (AUC = 0.77, p < 0.001) was act as the good diagnostic marker for detection/diagnosis of arthritis. In conclusions, data from the present study showed the significant involvement of VDR and IL-6 gene variations in RA pathogenesis.

No Interaction Effect between Interleukin-6 Polymorphisms and Acid Ash Diet with Bone Resorption Marker in Postmenopausal Women. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18020827. [PMID: 33478001 PMCID: PMC7835771 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18020827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background: Evidence is growing that a high-acid diet might accelerate the rate of bone loss, and gene polymorphisms such as Interleukin 6 (IL6) -174G/C and -572G/C are related to bone deterioration. However, no study of the interaction between diet and IL6 polymorphisms has been conducted among Asians. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine whether IL6 gene polymorphisms modified the association between dietary acidity and the rate of bone resorption. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 203 postmenopausal women (age ranged from 51 to 85 years old) in community settings. The dietary intakes of the participants were assessed using a validated interviewer-administered semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), while dietary acid load (DAL) was estimated using net endogenous acid production (NEAP). Agena® MassARRAY genotyping analysis and serum collagen type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX1) were used to identify the IL6 genotype and as a bone resorption marker, respectively. The interactions between diet and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assessed using linear regressions. Results: A total of 203 healthy postmenopausal women aged between 51 and 85 years participated in this study. The mean BMI of the participants was 24.3 kg/m2. In IL6 -174 G/C, all the participants carried the GG genotype, while the C allele was absent. Approximately 40% of the participants had a high dietary acid load. Dietary acid load (B = 0.15, p = 0.031) and the IL6 -572 CC genotype group (B = 0.14, p = 0.044) were positively associated with a higher bone resorption. However, there was no moderating effect of the IL6 genetic polymorphism on the relationship between and acid ash diet and bone resorption markers among the postmenopausal women (p = 0.79). Conclusion: High consumption of an acid ash diet and the IL6 -572 C allele seem to attribute to high bone resorption among postmenopausal women. However, our finding does not support the interaction effect of dietary acidity and IL6 (-174G/C and -572G/C) polymorphisms on the rate of bone resorption. Taken together, these results have given scientific research other candidate genes to focus on which may interact with DAL on bone resorption, to enhance planning for preventing or delaying the onset of osteoporosis among postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Background Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is caused by the blockage of the coronary arteries. it is argued that there has an association between the Interleukin-6 gene and the occurrence of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, Due to the short half-life and high variability of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), limited studies have been performed on the association of serum levels of interleukin-6 with coronary artery disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between IL-6 gene polymorphisms and coronary artery disease. Methods This study was conducted as a meta-analysis of selected articles with no lower time limit and upto March 2020. Articles related to the subject were obtained by searching several data sources,such as the SID, IranDoc, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science (ISI), PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The heterogeneity of the studies was assessed using the I2 index in the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results The GG genotype of the IL-6174 G> C polymorphism with a 0.8 odds ratio tended to reduce the risk of CAD by 20%. The odds ratio of CAD in CG and GG genotypes were found to be 1.16 and 1.48 times respectively, indicating the increasing effect of these two genotypes. In the IL-6-572 C>G polymorphism, CG and GG genotypes increased the risk of CAD by 1.21 and 1.27 times respectively, and the CC genotype tended to reduce the risk of CAD by 15%, considering the odds ratio of 0.85. Conclusion This study showed a relationship between IL-6174G> C and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) 572 C>G genes and coronary artery disease. Moreover, the protective effects of GG genotype in IL-6 gene 174 G> C and CC genotype in IL-6 gene 572 C>G gene were reported. The study also confirmed that the CG and CC genotypes of the G>C IL-6174 gene have an increasing effect on coronary artery disease. Moreover, CG and GG genotypes in the IL-6 gene 572 C>G increased the risk of developing CAD. It should be noted that the increased risk of developing CAD was limited to meta-analytic studies in reported literatures.

J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:6191-6207. [PMID: 32374489 PMCID: PMC7294134 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Studies examining the associations between the interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) rs1800795 and rs1800796 gene polymorphisms and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) remain controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the accurately determine role of these two polymorphisms in CAD risk. PubMed, Embase, VIP, Wan fang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted, and bioinformatics tools were employed. A total of thirty‐seven articles were obtained. For the IL‐6 rs1800795 polymorphism, 9411 CAD patients and 3161 controls were included, 4720 patients with CAD, and 5000 controls were included for the IL‐6 rs1800796 polymorphism. In the pooled analysis, significant associations were only observed for the rs1800796 polymorphism (allelic: OR [95%CI] = 1.28 [1.13, 1.44], dominant: OR [95%CI] = 1.35 [1.17, 1.57], recessive: OR [95%CI] = 1.35 [1.18, 1.55], heterozygote: OR [95%CI] = 1.26 [1.15, 1.37], homozygote: OR [95%CI] = 1.62 [1.23, 2.13]). Significant associations were detected in the Asian and Mongoloid populations and ‘more than 500’ subgroup for the rs1800795 polymorphism. TSA confirmed the true‐positive results for the rs1800796 polymorphism. The bioinformatics analysis showed that the two polymorphisms played important roles in the gene transcription. The IL‐6 rs1800796 polymorphism is associated with an increased susceptibility to CAD and is a risk factor for CAD. The IL‐6 rs1800795 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of CAD in Asians, particularly in Chinese, and a decreased risk of CAD in an African population is remarkably observed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are group of complex and multifactorial pathologies, in which interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene polymorphisms have been associated with several components of the CVD. Thus, in this study, we thoroughly reviewed and meta-analyzed evidence on the association between the IL-6 (rs1800795) gene polymorphism and CVD. We systematically searched in the PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus databases. The analyses were performed using five study groups based on (1) a combined pool of the overall populations, (2) the country of birth, (3) the continent of birth, (4) the diagnosis and (5) both location (country or continent) and diagnosis. The analysis included the allelic, homozygote, heterozygote, dominant and recessive models. The meta-analysis showed that -174G>C (rs1800795) is a risk factor for CVD (allelic: OR=1.06, CI 95%=1.02-1.10. Z p value <0.0001; homozygous: OR=1.11, CI 95%=1.03-1.19, Z p value= 0.002; heterozygous: OR=1.08, CI 95%=1.03-1.21, Z p value= 0.003; dominant: OR= 1.12, CI 95%= 1.07-1.18, Z p value= 0.001) and that this risk increases in the Chinese population. Additionally, we found that carriers of the C allele of 174G>C (rs1800795) polymorphism have an increase in the risk of coronary artery disease under the hereditary models assessed in the study. Using robust data, we found that IL-6 (rs1800795) -174G>C gene polymorphism is associated with CVD risk.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is a component of the metabolic syndrome. Several genetic variants are reported to be associated with obesity and hypo adiponectinemia, including ars1800796 polymorphism of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene. Since obesity is associated with inflammatory factors, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between this polymorphism and MetS and its related features. Obese patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 (n = 182) were recruited into this study and divided into two groups; 110 patients with MetS, based on the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria, and 72 subjects without MetS. The anthropometric and biochemical data for the groups were compared. Genotyping was carried out using RT-PCR. The association of the genetic polymorphism with MetS and its components were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyzes. There was an association between the presence of the rs1800796polymorphism of the IL-6 gene, with BMI (P = 0.031), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (P = 0.010) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (P = 0.037), while this genetic variant did not show any significant association with the presence of MetS as defined by the IDF. We demonstrate an association between the rs1800796 genetic variant of the IL-6 gene with components of MetS including BMI, and HDL-cholesterol, but not the MetS itself. Therefore, supporting further studies are warranted to investigate this point in a larger population.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the association between the interleukin (IL) 6 (IL-6) rs1800795 (-174 G>C), IL-8 rs4073 (-251T>A), and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) rs2252070 (-77G>A) gene polymorphisms and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from a total of 400 KOA patients and 400 healthy subjects. Sanger sequencing was performed to determine the genotypes of the IL-6 rs1800795 (-174 G/C), IL-8 rs4073 (-251A/T), and MMP-13 rs2252070 (-77A/G) loci. The mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-13 in osteoblasts and the protein expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-13 in the synovial fluids of KOA patients were analyzed. Results: The recessive model of IL-6 rs1800795 locus was found to be associated with KOA risk (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.657, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.396-1.866, P<0.001). The IL-8 rs4073 locus dominant and recessive model showed no significant association with KOA risk (P>0.05). The dominant and recessive models of the MMP-13 rs2252070 locus showed higher risk for developing KOA (dominant model: adjusted OR = 1.271, 95%CI = 1.095-1.480, P=0.001; recessive model: adjusted OR = 1.361 95%CI = 1.151-1.569, P<0.001). The G>C mutation in IL-6 rs1800795 and the G>A mutation in MMP-13 rs2252070 were associated with significantly higher KOA disease severity. The G>C mutation in the IL-6 rs1800795 locus was associated with up-regulation of IL-6 expression. The G>A mutation in the MMP-13 rs2252070 locus was associated with up-regulation of MMP-13 expression. Conclusion: The IL-8 rs4073 (-251T>A) mutation was not associated with KOA susceptibility. The IL-6 rs1800795 (-174 G>C) and MMP-13 rs2252070 (-77G>A) mutations were associated with KOA susceptibility, increased disease severity, and up-regulation of IL-6 and MMP-13 expression levels.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major killer in today’s world. Pakistan is also affected by this non-communicable disease like other countries. It is a multifactorial disease and is influenced by many gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Methods A total of 623 (219 controls, 404 cases) Pakistani subjects were genotyped for four SNPs, rs662 (PON1), rs5918 (ITGB3), rs671 (ALDH2), rs1800795 (IL-6) by PCR-RFLP. Various anthropometric parameters were noted and serum lipid profile was measured using commercially available kits. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 22. A Genetic Risk Score (GRS) was calculated from individual SNPs. The association of the SNPs and the GRS with CAD was checked using logistic regression. Results The results showed that the risk allele frequencies of all variants were higher in the cases than the controls, however the difference was not statistically significant association (p > 0.0125). The mean GRS in the controls was 3.99 ± 1.42 and in cases, it was 4.29 ± 1.39, the difference between the groups was significant (p = 0.0109). logistic regression of individual SNPs and GRS with the CAD showed that independent SNPs were not significantly associated with the CAD however, the GRS had a strong association (p = 1.4 × 10− 4). The subjects were divided into three groups based on GRS (Gp 1 with GRS 0–2, Gp 2 with GRS 3–5 and Gp 3 with GRS 6–8). The analysis of the effect of the individual SNPs and GRS groups on different lipid profile parameters revealed no significant association of any of the tested SNPs with any lipid parameter, however, the GRS groups showed marginally significant for TC and highly significant association for TG, LDL-c and HDL-c. Conclusion In conclusion, use of a GRS can provide better information than individual SNPs. The larger the number of the SNPs included in the analysis, the better would be the risk prediction.

Abstract
Recently, the relationship between functional interleukin-6 (IL-6) polymorphisms and coronary artery disease (CAD) was extensively studied, with controversial findings. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to better elucidate the relationship between these polymorphisms and the risk of CAD. A total of 57 case-control studies were finally included. The overall analyses showed that IL-6 -174G>C and -572G>C polymorphisms were significantly associated with the risk of CAD, the C allele of -174G>C (G versus C, odds ratio [OR] = 0.82, confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.75-0.89) and -572G>C polymorphisms (G versus C, OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.74-0.92) conferred an increased susceptibility to CAD. Further subgroup analyses yielded similar positive results for -174G>C polymorphism in Asian and Caucasian populations, and for -572G>C polymorphism in Asian and African populations. In conclusion, our findings suggest that IL-6 -174G>C and -572G>C polymorphisms may serve as potential genetic markers of CAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association of interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and to assess the impact of IL-6 promoter polymorphisms (-174G > C, -572G > C and -597G > A) on its plasma levels and their influence in the development of DVT in India. METHODS One hundred DVT patients and 100 age and sex-matched healthy controls were study subjects. IL-6 polymorphisms were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. IL-6 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Significantly raised IL-6 levels were observed in patients as compared to controls. (Patients: 13.73 ± 6.30 pg/ml, Controls: 11.83 ± 4.47 pg/ml, p = 0.014). The prevalence of C allele of -572G > C polymorphism was significantly higher in patients than controls (Patients: 39.5%, Controls: 27.5%, p = 0.011, χ2=6.463). Subjects with GC and CC genotype had significantly higher IL-6 levels than GG genotype (p=<0.001). Patients with GC and CC genotype increased the DVT risk by 1.39 fold (ORa: 1.39, CI: 0.74-2.62) and 2.69 fold (ORa: 2.42, CI: 1.08-6.70), respectively. IL-6 -174G > C and -597G > A polymorphisms were not associated with raised IL-6 levels and nor with thrombotic risk (-174G > C: p = 0.823 χ2=0.369; -597G > A: p = 0.678 χ2=1.08). CONCLUSION Our study emphasizes the importance of -572G > C polymorphism in increasing IL-6 levels, thereby showing its significant role in DVT in India. IL-6 -174G > C and -597G > A were neither associated with raised plasma IL-6 levels nor with thrombotic risk. Thus -572G > C polymorphism detection may be one of the connecting links between IL-6 and thrombotic risk in Indian DVT patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of IL-6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), additional gene-gene and gene-environment interactions on coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. METHODS A total of 751 participants (429 CAD patients and 322 controls) were recruited in this study. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of IL-6 SNPs with CAD risk and generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was performed to investigate the best interaction combinations for gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. RESULTS CAD risk is significantly higher in carriers of C allele of the rs1800795 polymorphism than those with GG genotype (CC + CG versus GG, adjusted OR (95%CI) = 2.07 (1.56-2.86), p < 0.001). GMDR analysis revealed rs1800795 was significantly interacted with tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking in two-locus model (p < 0.0010). Current smokers with CC or CG of rs1800795 genotype have the highest CAD risk, OR (95%CI) = 3.22 (2.45-3.94) and current drinkers with CC or CG of rs1800795 genotype have the highest CAD risk, OR (95%CI) = 3.17 (2.20-4.24). CONCLUSION The C allele of rs1800795 within IL-6 gene promoter, rs1800795-tobacco smoking and rs1800795-alcohol drinking interaction were all associated with increased CAD risk.

Abstract
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary syndromes; moreover, various lines of evidence suggest that genetic factors do contribute to the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). The proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 is a central mediator of inflammation associated with CAD. The present study is aimed to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region of the IL-6 gene (-174 G > C) and methylation with the susceptibility of CAD. Genotyping of IL-6 -174 G/C polymorphism was performed by PCR-RFLP. Methylation-specific PCR method was used to study the IL-6 gene promoter methylation. Analysis of 470 subjects (265 CAD patients and 205 controls) showed association of the -174 G/C variant with the CAD risk in dominant model (OR 1.58, 95% CI, 1.024-2.23, P = 0.04). Further, the analysis of the distribution of genotypes and alleles of -174 G > C polymorphism according to clinical features of CAD, revealed significant association of genotype and allele (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.18-2.84 P = 0.01, and OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.09-2.23 P = 0.02 respectively) with diabetes, and we found no association with hypertension (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.57-1.59, P = 0.8). We also analyzed the methylation status of IL-6 promoter region between cases and controls showed significant hypo methylation in CAD subjects (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.51-4.259, P = 0.006). Additionally, GC, CC genotypes and C allele carriers show hypomethylation in CAD cases compared to controls (54.58 vs. 76.85%, 29.83 vs. 40% respectively). In conclusion, the promoter polymorphism -174 G/C is associated with CAD risk and further carriers of 'C' allele at -174 locus showed significant hypo methylation which could contribute to increased risk of CAD. The present study highlights the association of allele and genotypes with differential DNA methylation of CpG islands in the IL-6 promoter region which may affect IL-6 gene regulation.

Abstract
AIM To explore the relationship of depression and its endophenotypes (neuroticism and trait anxiety) with inflammatory genes in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A sample consisted of 78 male CHD patients with depression, 91 CHD patients without depression and 127 healthy men. Polymorphisms of the genes encoding interleukine-4 (IL-4 -589 C/T), interleukine-6 (IL-6 -174 G/C), tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α -308 G/A) and C-reactive protein (CRP -717A/G) were studied. RESULTS There was the association between the IL-6 -174 G/C and depression comorbid to CHD (р=0.01; OR=2.3 CI 95% 1.2-4.3). The frequency of the 'high expression' allele G in this group was higher compared to controls. The association between IL-4 -589 C/T and CHD was found. Compared to the control group, the frequency of the IL-4 -589CC genotype was higher in patients regardless of whether they had symptoms of depression (р=0.007; OR=2.1 CI 95% 1.2-3.4). No association between the TNF-α -308G/A and the CRP -717A/G with depression in CHD was observed. There were no differences between neuroticism and anxiety scores in patients with different IL-4 -589 C/T, IL-6 -174 G/C, TNF-α -308 G/A, CRP -717A/G genotypes. CONCLUSION The finding of the association between the IL-6 -174G/C and depression, comorbid to CHD, is in line with literature on a role of IL-6 in the development of depression in patients with CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines regulate the expression of inflammatory molecules which destabilize the atheromatic plaques. This study focuses on studying the association of inflammatory cytokine polymorphisms like TNF-α -308 (G/A), TNF-β +252 (A/G), IL-6 -174 (G/C) and IL-6 -597 (G/A), and IFN-ɣ +874 (T/A) with coronary artery disease (CAD) among north Indian patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS 143 CAD and 137 normal healthy controls were recruited in this study. DNA extraction was carried out by high salting out method. TNF-α -308 (G/A) (rs1800797), TNF-β +252 (A/G) (rs909253), IL-6 -174 (G/C) (rs1800795), IL6 -597 (G/A) (rs1800797), and IFN-ɣ +874 (T/A) (rs2430561) SNPs were genotyped by TaqMan®SNP genotyping assays. Different statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v 22.0 and SNPStats. p≤0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Significant risk association with CAD was found for TNF-α -308 (G/A) "A" allele (OR=5.6, CI 1.8-17.4, p=0.001) and TNF-β +252 (A/G) "G" allele (OR=3.4, CI=1.9-6.0, p<0.001). However, no statistical significance was found for IL-6 -174 (G/C) or IL6 -597 (G/A), with CAD. TNF-α -308 (G/A), and TNF-β +252 (A/G) haplotype "GG" "AG" increased CAD risk significantly (GG haplotype, adjusted OR=2.6, CI 1.4-5.0, p=0.003 and AG haplotype OR=8.5, CI 2.2-33.35, p=0.002) after adjustments for age, sex, TC, TG, HDL, APOB, smoking and diet. DISCUSSION The present study found significant risk association for TNF-α -308 (G/A), and TNF-β +252 (A/G) genotypes, alleles and haplotypes, with CAD in a North Indian population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between the genetic polymorphism of IL-6 C-572G and susceptibility to spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB). METHODS The subjects were from Beijing and the surrounding areas of Beijing. This case-control study enrolled 569 SPTB infants, including 56 extremely preterm (<28 weeks of gestation), 166 very preterm (28-31+6 weeks of gestation) and 347 moderate to late preterm infants (32 to 36+6 weeks of gestation). A total of 673 term infants were enrolled as the control group. The latest Sequenom MassARRAY®SNP detection technique was used for the typing of single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-6 C-572G. RESULTS Compared with the CC genotypes, the IL-6 C-572G G-positive genotype (CG+GG genotype) was significantly associated with an increased susceptibility to moderate to late SPTB (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.01-1.80, P=0.04). CONCLUSIONS Among the Chinese population, IL-6 C-572G polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to moderate to late SPTB.

Abstract
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, but etiology and pathogenesis continue to be poorly understood. Polymorphisms in the cytokine genes may play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of IgAN. The incidence of different between diverse ethnic groups suggested important genetic influences on its pathogenesis. We genotype 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-1B and IL-6 gene using Sequenom Mass-ARRAY technology from 417 IgAN patients and 463 healthy controls of the Chinese Han population. We evaluated these SNPs associated with IgAN utilising the chi-square tests and genetic model analysis. We identified that the minor alleles of rs16944 (“A”), rs1800796 (“G”) in IL-1B, IL-6 were involved in an increasingly risk of IgAN in allelic model analysis, respectively. The rs16944 in IL-1B and rs1800796 in IL-6 were associated with 1.23-fold (95% CI, 1.02-1.48, P = 0.031) and 1.33-fold (95% CI, 1.11-1.66, P = 0.003) increases in the risk of developing IgAN, respectively. There was only rs1800796 still correlated with IgAN in the allelic model after adjustment by age and gender and the Bonferroni correction. In addition, Haplotype Grs1800796A rs2069837G rs2069840 (P = 0.037) and G rs1800796A rs2069837C rs2069840 (P = 0.042) in IL-6were considered to be associated with increased IgAN risk. This study verified the IL-6, IL-1B genetic variants polymorphisms contributed to IgAN susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Although we identified SNPs susceptibility, however, replication studies and functional research are required to confirm the genetic contribution in IgAN.

The relationship of Interleukin-6 -174 G>C gene polymorphism in type 2 diabetic patients with and without diabetic foot ulcers in Turkish population. Foot (Edinb) 2017; 30:27-31. [PMID: 28257947 DOI: 10.1016/j.foot.2017.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2016] [Revised: 01/04/2017] [Accepted: 02/07/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aims investigate Turkish type 2 diabetic patients with/without diabetic foot ulcers and healthy group and examined the contribution of Interleukin (IL)-6 -174 G>C gene polymorphism to the development of diabetic foot ulcers. DESIGN AND PATIENTS The Interleukin (IL)-6 -174 G>C genotypes were determined prospectively in 50 patients with diabetic foot ulcers and 35 without diabetic foot ulcers and a control group of 119 healthy individuals. Genotyping of the Interleukin (IL)-6 -174 G>C gene polymorphisms for all individuals was performed by PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS The genotype IL6 distribution did differ between the control group (CC 13.3%, GC 66.7%, GG 20%) and type 2 diabetic patients (CC 2.4%, GC 47.1%, GG 50.6%) (P<0.001). The genotype IL6 distribution did not differ between type 2 diabetic patients group (CC 0%, GC 45.7%, GG 54.3%) and diabetic foot ulcers (CC 4%, GC 48%, 48%) (P>0.05). The frequency of the polymorphic G allele in between the control group and type 2 diabetic patients was no similar for the groups (58.4% and 74.1%, respectively) (p<0.05). The frequency of the polymorphic G allele in between the type 2 diabetic patients and diabetic foot ulcers was similar for the groups (77.1% and 72%, respectively) (p>0.05). CONCLUSION The gene polymorphism of Interleukin-6 -174 G>C and G allele are an risk factor for diabetes, but gene polymorphism of Interleukin-6 -174 G>C is not an independent risk factor for diabetic foot. Genetic factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic foot may also show any changes in different populations.

The -174 G>C Interleukin-6 Gene Polymorphism is Associated with Angiographic Progression of Coronary Artery Disease over a 4-Year Period. Hellenic J Cardiol 2017; 58:80-86. [PMID: 28212870 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2017.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2016] [Revised: 02/01/2017] [Accepted: 02/03/2017] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is a key process underlying the clinical course of coronary artery disease (CAD). C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contribute to its pathophysiology and act as biomarkers. We sought to examine whether known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) impact CAD progression, reflecting increased inflammation. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated coronary angiographies of patients with established CAD who were re-investigated for stable/unstable angina after a time interval of >12 months. We defined progression of CAD as the emergence of a new plaque or a ≥20 % increase of a formerly non-significant lesion. We genotyped patients for the 1846 C>T CRP and -174 G>C IL-6 SNPs. The probability of CAD progression among the Mendelian randomization groups was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Data were analyzed using a Cox model that included relevant clinical factors. RESULTS A total of 157 patients were included. The serum levels of CRP and IL-6 differed significantly between genotypes. The genotype frequencies of IL-6 were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, whereas those for CRP were excluded from our conclusions. At 48 months, 83 patients (52.9 %) with the IL-6 C allele versus 74 (47.1 %) with the G allele exhibited CAD progression. Patients with the IL-6 C allele had a 52.8 % probability for progression versus 13.3 % for those with the G allele (p=0.005). The results were confirmed by multivariate analysis; dyslipidemia, family history, and IL-6 SNP emerged as significant factors. CONCLUSION Patients with established CAD who carried the -174 C allele of the IL-6 gene demonstrated an increased risk for the progression of coronary plaques over a four-year period. Further studies will be needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study consisted of a total of 200 subjects (100 confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD) patients), both men and women, and 100 healthy control individuals. METHODS Serum concentration of IL-6 and RANTES were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. For SNPs analysis, sanger method of DNA sequencing was followed. RESULTS We observed variable numbers of SNP sites at -174 G/C, -572 G/C, and -597 G/A in IL-6 and -28 C/G and -109 C/T in RANTES promoters in CAD patients compared with control individuals. However, the observed changes in the number of SNPs were found to be non-significant compared with control individuals. The IL-6 level was found to be significantly (P<.001) elevated in CAD patients compared with control. Moreover, RANTES serum level did not show any significant change in CAD patients. CONCLUSION Based on our result, it is quite clear that inflammation has a role in the pathogenesis of CAD but does not lead to significant changes at the genetic level in our population. As far as our knowledge goes, this is the first report that shows the genetic diversity in IL-6 and RANTES promoters and their respective levels in Saudi CAD patients.

Abstract
AIMS Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines play a significant role in early atherosclerosis. Linkage disequilibrium patterns differ between ethnic groups pointing toward the need to develop population-specific gene risk scores. Our objective was to investigate the role of a cytokine gene score in the risk prediction of premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). METHODS A case-control study was performed at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in collaboration with the Cardiovascular Genetics Institute, University College London, United Kingdom. Three hundred forty subjects with >70% stenosis in at least one coronary vessel on angiography were labeled as PCAD cases and compared with 310 angio-negative controls. Genotyping of the rs187238 (interleukin [IL]-18), rs1800795 (IL-6), rs1800629 (tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-alpha), rs1800871 (IL-10), and rs1946519 (IL-18) SNPs was performed using KASPar and TaqMan assays. RESULTS The odds ratio for cytokine gene score was significantly higher for PCAD (p = 0.025) when adjusted for age, sex, and ethnicity. There was a highly significant difference in gene risk allele frequency between Pakistanis and Caucasians (Northwick Park Heart Study II [NPHSII]) for rs187238 (IL-18), rs1800795 (IL-6), rs1800629 (TNF-alpha), and rs1800871 (IL-10) (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A cytokine gene score has significant discriminatory ability and potential in the risk prediction of PCAD. Cytokine gene risk allele frequencies differ significantly between Pakistanis and Caucasians supporting the need to develop population-specific gene scores.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between IL-6-174G>C, -572G>C and -597G>A polymorphisms and development of coronary artery diseases in a Chinese population. Methods: A total of 275 patients with coronary artery disease and 296 healthy control subjects were collected between January 2013 and November 2014. The IL-6 genotyping for -174G>C, -592G>C and -597G>A polymorphic sites was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) according to the manufacturer instructions. Results: Using unconditional regression analysis, we observed that the AC and CC genotypes of IL-6 -592A>C were associated with the increased risk of developing coronary artery disease when compared with the AA genotype, and the adjusted ORs (95%CI) were 1.63(1.12-2.38) and 2.70(1.57-4.67), respectively. Additionally, the C allele of IL-6 -592A>C (OR=1.65, 95%CI=1.29-2.11) was correlated with a higher risk of developing coronary artery disease in comparison to the A allele. However, no relationship was found between IL-6-174G>C and -597G>A polymorphisms and coronary artery disease susceptibility. Conclusion: This study suggests that IL-6 -592G>C polymorphism is correlated with the risk of coronary artery disease. More well-designed prospective studies based on large sample size, multiple SNPs or haplotypes are required to confirm the current findings.

Abstract
Whether hypertension is associated with -572 C>G or -174 G>C polymorphism in interleukin (IL)-6 genes still remains hazy and ambiguous.We conducted a meta-analysis to offer a more reliable and clearer evaluation about the association.Electronic literature databases including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang database were searched.The study included the following: evaluating associations between -572 C>G or -174 G>C polymorphism in IL-6 gene and hypertension; case-control design; essential information must be offered; precise diagnostic criteria of hypertension; and no language restriction.Patients who met the diagnostic criteria and controls without a history of hypertension were included. Interventions were not available.A quality assessment was conducted using Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Combined odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated in 5 genetic models. Sources of heterogeneity were explored by subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and Galbraith plots. Finally, test for publication bias was performed to prove the stabilization.Fifteen studies were finally included. Eleven articles were judged high-quality reports. Overall, the -572 C>G polymorphism was proved to be significantly associated with hypertension in 4 genetic models. Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity revealed significant associations in Asian population in recessive model and homozygote comparison. The association in Europeans and Mid-East required further confirmation. No significant association was observed between the -174 G>C polymorphism and hypertension under all of the genetic models.The limitations of the study were the following: restrictive number of eligible studies limited the extrapolation range in subgroup analysis; gene-environment factors could not be described due to lack of data; some relevant studies could not be included because of various reasons.Current researches supported the association between the development of hypertension and the -572 C>G rather than -174 G>C polymorphism. Future well designed epidemiological studies may evaluate the possible gene-environment interactions.
