Association of the interleukin-10 −592A/C, −1082G/A and −819T/C gene polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis

Genetic association between interleukin-10 gene rs1518111 and rs3021094 polymorphisms and risk of type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in Egyptian children and adolescents

OBJECTIVE

Genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in etiopathogenesis and progression of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN). Genetic association between interleukin-10 (IL-10) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with T2DM and DN was recently established. We aimed to explore the potential genetic risk of IL-10 gene rs1518111 and rs3021094 SNPs in susceptibility to T1DM and DN.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Cross-sectional study included 140 T1DM children, of whom 74 had DN and 90 controls. IL-10 gene rs1518111 and rs3021094 SNP were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique of the extracted genomic DNA from participants. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to explore the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms and the risk of T1DM and DN.

RESULTS

For rs1518111 SNP, AA genotype was associated with high risk of T1DM (OR = 4.53; CI = 2.11-9.74; p < 0.001), while A allele was associated with high risk of both T1DM (OR = 3.35; CI = 2.20-5.09; p < 0.001) and DN (OR = 2.36; CI = 1.27-4.38; p = 0.006). For rs3021094 SNP, AC genotype displayed lower risk to develop T1DM (OR = 0.35; CI = 0.13-0.94; p = 0.037), while A allele displayed higher risk to develop T1DM (OR = 1.69; CI = 1.11-2.56; p = 0.013). GA and AC haplotypes of rs1518111 and rs3021094 had lower ORs for having T1DM and DN, while GC had lower OR for having T1DM.

CONCLUSIONS

AA genotype and A allele of IL-10 rs1518111 SNP could be linked to increased risk for T1DM and DN among Egyptian children. None of rs3021094 genotypes or alleles displayed significant association with DN. GA and AC haplotypes could be protective against T1DM and DN susceptibility.

IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10 levels/polymorphisms and their association with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity in Brazilian individuals

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the association of plasma TNF-α, IL-6, and lL-10 levels and cytokine gene polymorphisms [TNF-α (-308 G→A), IL-6 (-174 C→G) and IL-10 (-1082 A→G, -819 T→C and -592 A→C)] in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obese patients.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

One hundred and two T2DM patients and 62 controls were included in this study. Cytokine plasma levels were measured by the Cytometric Bead Array method. Genotyping was carried out by the polymerase chain reaction.

RESULTS

IL-6 levels were significantly different between T2DM patients and controls. Interestingly, IL-6 levels were higher in T2DM patients with BMI > 30 kg/m2 compared with other patients and obese controls. The genotype and allele frequencies were similar between patients and controls. In the T2DM group, the SNP IL-10 -819 T/C showed a difference between the cytokine level and genotypes: IL-10 level in the TT genotype was significantly higher when compared to CC genotype.

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest an association between IL-6 levels and obesity, and IL-10 levels and the SNP -819 T/C in T2DM. Knowledge of these variants in T2DM might contribute to a better understanding of the role of inflammation in the etiology and progression of this disease.

Association Between the Interleukin-10-1082G/A, -592C/A, -819C/T Gene Polymorphism and HIV-1 Susceptibility: A Meta-Analysis

The Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene polymorphism influences the pathogenesis and evolution of HIV-1 disease. Many studies in this regard have evaluated the association between this polymorphism and HIV-1 susceptibility, yet, the exact relationship between them remains ambiguous and contradictory. A systematic literature search was conducted and the found case-control studies assessing the association between IL-10-1082G/A, -592C/A, -819C/T gene polymorphism and HIV-1 susceptibility were analyzed. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by a fixed effect model. In general, no significant relationship was found between IL-10-1082G/A gene polymorphism and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection (A vs. G genotype model: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.81-1.23, p = .775; GG vs. AA+AG model: OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.76-1.27, p = .867; GG+AG vs. AA model: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.70-1.35, p = .852; GG vs. AA model: OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.67-1.15, p = .348; AG vs. AA model: OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.67-1.37, p = .811; GG+AA vs. AG model: OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.74-1.43, p = .886). IL-10-529C/A gene polymorphism might lead to a decreased risk of HIV-1 infection (A vs. G genotype model: OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.73-1.06, p = .166; GG vs. AA+AG model: OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.80-1.11, p = .447; GG+AG vs. AA model: OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.61-0.92, p = .005; GG vs. AA model: OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.57-0.93, p = .012; AG vs. AA model: OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.60-0.92, p = .0.007; GG+AA vs. AG model: OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.72-1.71, p = .641). IL-10-819C/T gene polymorphism might lead to an increased risk of HIV-1 infection (A vs. G genotype model: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.04-1.50, p = .019; GG vs. AA+AG model: OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.81-2.01, p = .278; GG+AG vs. AA model: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.05-1.93, p = .023; GG vs. AA model: OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.11-2.38, p = .012; AG vs. AA model: OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 0.95-1.84, p = .094; GG+AA vs. AG model: OR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.72-1.19, p = .537). In general, the meta-analysis found no marked association between the IL-10-1082G/A gene polymorphism and HIV-1 susceptibility, IL-10-529C/A gene polymorphism might lead to a decreased risk of HIV-1 infection, and IL-10-819C/T gene polymorphism might lead to an increased risk of HIV-1 infection.

African vs. Caucasian and Asian difference for the association of interleukin-10 promotor polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes mellitus (a meta-analysis study)

Background

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a multifunctional regulatory cytokine that might be associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). IL-10 gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with T2DM in several ethnic populations with controversial results.

Objectives

This work is an updated meta-analysis aiming at the evaluation of the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms: rs1800872 (− 592 C > A), rs1800896 (− 1082 A > G) and rs1800871 (− 819 C > T) with the risk of T2DM.

Methods

All available full text studies published up to July 2015 were included in this meta-analysis. Mainly Pubmed and Science Direct databases were searched for all eligible studies pertinent to testing the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility to T2DM. Further analyses of the pooled and stratified data in terms of individual polymorphic types and subject ethnicity were done and assessed using varied genetic models.

Results

Fifteen case-control studies with a total of 26 comparisons (10 for IL-10 − 592 C > A rs1800872, 11 for IL-10 − 1082 A > G rs1800896 and 5 for IL-10 − 819 C > T rs1800871 polymorphisms) met our inclusion criteria. IL-10 − 1082 A > G polymorphism was the only one to show an association with T2DM in all pooled sample particularly among Asian and European (high frequency of the G allele) ethnic groups. On the other hand, IL-10 − 592 C > A and − 819 C > T were significantly associated with T2DM only among African subjects.

Conclusions

This meta-analysis demonstrated that IL-10 − 1082 A > G polymorphism was associated with increased risk of development of T2DM in total subjects no matter was their ethnic background, while both IL-10 − 592 C > A and − 819 C > T polymorphisms were associated with that risk only among African subjects.

Oxidative DNA damage is associated with inflammatory response, insulin resistance and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes

Urinary markers of nucleic acid oxidation may be useful biomarkers in diabetes. It has been demonstrated that T2DM patients have an increased level of oxidative DNA damage; however, it is unclear whether increased DNA damage may be related to a greater degree of inflammation and insulin resistance. Thus, the aim of this present study was to investigate the relation of the impact of oxidative DNA damage, assessed by urinary 8-OHdG, on the levels of inflammatory cytokines, as well as insulin resistance. In addition, we also investigated the diagnostic ability of urinary 8-OHdG in the identification of microvascular complications in T2DM.A case-control study, enrolling 22 healthy controls and 54 subjects with T2DM, was performed to evaluate the relation between oxidative DNA damage and interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1,tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-10, and Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) index. T2DM patients presented higher urinary 8-OHdG, IL-6, IL-1, TNF-α levels and HOMA-IR, and lower IL-10 levels than control subjects. Moreover, urinary 8-OHdG levels were significantly higher in the group T2DM with microvascular complications when compared to the without complications. The areas under the curve for urinary 8-OHdG and urinary albumin were, respectively, 0.836 (P<0.001) and 0.786 (P=0.002). Thus, urinary 8-OHdG has a slightly higher ability to discriminate microvascular complications in T2DM compared with urinary albumin. It was also demonstrated that T2DM patients with higher median of urinary 8-OHdG had significantly elevated levels of IL-6, TNF-α and HOMA-IR, and decreased IL-10 levels. Our findings showed that T2DM patients with higher urinary 8-OHdG levels showed a greater inflammatory degree and higher insulin resistance. It is possible to speculate that T2DM patients present a cascade of events as increasing metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance and inflammatory activation, as well as increased ROS generation factors that may contribute directly to greater oxidative DNA damage.

Interleukin-10-1082A/G polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis

Background

Studies have assessed the association between Interleukin-10 (IL-10) -1082A/G polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy (DN) risk, but the results were inconclusive and contradictory. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between IL10-1082A/G polymorphism and DN risk.

Material/Methods

All relevant studies were searched by using PubMed and EMBASE. Data were extracted by 2 authors independently. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.

Results

Nine case-control studies with 4165 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. We found that IL10-1082A/G polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased DN risk (OR=1.21; 95% CI 1.07–1.37; P=0.002). In the subgroup analysis by race, both Caucasians and Asians with IL10-1082A/G polymorphism showed increased DN risk (OR=1.25; 95% CI 1.03–1.52; P=0.03 and OR=1.25; 95% CI 1.04–1.49; P=0.02), respectively. When we deleted the study without diabetes type, the result was not altered (OR=1.21; 95% CI 1.02–1.44; P=0.03). In the subgroup analysis by sample size, both studies with large sample size and studies with small sample size showed increased DN risk (OR=1.16; 95% CI 1.02–1.31; P=0.02 and OR=1.50; 95% CI 1.14–1.98; P=0.004), respectively.

Conclusions

This meta-analysis confirmed that IL10-1082A/G polymorphism might contribute to the susceptibility for DN.

Association between interleukin 10 gene polymorphisms and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population

Objective

To investigate the relationship between the interleukin 10 ( IL10) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) −1082 G/A (rs1800896), −819 T/C (rs1800871) and −592 A/C (rs1800872) and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population.

Methods

This case–control study recruited patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy control subjects. Genotyping of the −1082 G/A (rs1800896), −819 T/C (rs1800871) and −592 A/C (rs1800872) SNPs was conducted and genotype frequencies were compared between the two groups.

Results

The study recruited 364 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 677 healthy controls. Patients carrying the −1082 GG genotype had a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03, 2.68), as did those patients carrying the −592 AA genotype (adjusted OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.06, 2.53). Subjects carrying both the −1082 GA + GG and −592 AC + AA genotypes had a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.24, 3.15).

Conclusions

The SNPs −1082G/A and −592 A/C increased the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and could be potential targets for screening for the early detection of the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
