Abstract
Natural lactones have been used in traditional and folklore medicine for centuries owing to their anti-inflammatory properties. The study uses a multifaceted approach to identify lead anti-inflammatory lactones from the SISTEMATX natural products database. The study analyzed the natural lactone database, revealing 18 lactones linked to inflammation targets. The primary targets were PTGES, PTGS1, COX-2, ALOX5 and IL1B. STX 12273 was the best hit, with the lowest binding energy and potential for inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme. The study suggested natural lactone, STX 12273, from the SISTEMATX database with anti-inflammatory potential and postulated its use for inflammation treatment or prevention.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

First insights into the molecular basis association between promoter polymorphisms of the IL1B gene and Helicobacter pylori infection in the Sudanese population: computational approach.

[PMID: 33413117 PMCID: PMC7792167 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-020-02072-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects nearly half of the world's population with a variation in incidence among different geographic regions. Genetic variants in the promoter regions of the IL1B gene can affect cytokine expression and creates a condition of hypoacidity which favors the survival and colonization of H. pylori. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize the polymorphic sites in the 5'- region [-687_ + 297] of IL1B in H. pylori infection using in silico tools. RESULTS A total of five nucleotide variations were detected in the 5'-regulatory region [-687_ + 297] of IL1B which led to the addition or alteration of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) or composite regulatory elements (CEs). Genotyping of IL1B - 31 C > T revealed a significant association between -31 T and susceptibility to H. pylori infection in the studied population (P = 0.0363). Comparative analysis showed conservation rates of IL1B upstream [-368_ + 10] region above 70% in chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, a domesticated dog, cow and rat. CONCLUSIONS In H. pylori-infected patients, three detected SNPs (- 338, - 155 and - 31) located in the IL1B promoter were predicted to alter TFBSs and CE, which might affect the gene expression. These in silico predictions provide insight for further experimental in vitro and in vivo studies of the regulation of IL1B expression and its relationship to H. pylori infection. However, the recognition of regulatory motifs by computer algorithms is fundamental for understanding gene expression patterns.

Abstract
Variants of the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) gene have been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery diseases (CAD). However, association of IL-1β polymorphisms with diabetic patients having CAD clinical manifestation has not been studied yet. In this study, we aim to decipher the role of IL-1β common promoter variants with susceptibility/resistance to development of CAD in T2D patients. T2D patients with (n = 134) or without CAD (n = 533) were enrolled. A total of 513 essentially healthy individuals from the same population were included in this study as control. Plasma levels of IL-1β were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit as per instructions from the manufacturer. IL-1β promoter variants (T-31C and C-511T) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). T2D patients displayed higher level of plasma IL-1β in comparison to healthy controls. Prevalence of variants for IL-1β (C-511T) polymorphism was higher in diabetic patients compared to controls (CT: P < 0.0001, OR = 3.01; TT: P < 0.0001, OR = 2.45). IL-1β (C-511T) polymorphism was linked with plasma IL-1β levels. Interestingly, heterozygous mutants (CT) were most prevalent in T2D individuals with CAD compared to those without CAD ( P = 0.03, OR = 1.82). Furthermore, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides were elevated in T2D patients with CAD than in patients without heart-related disorder. No significant association of other polymorphism (T-31C) was noticed with susceptibility to T2D or diabetic patients with heart disorders. IL-1β (C-511T) variants are associated with elevated plasma IL-1β levels. Mutation at the IL-1β promoter region (C-511T) predisposed subjects to the development of T2D and CAD manifestation in diabetic patients.

Polymorphism of Interleukin 1B May Modulate the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Polish Patients. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2019; 55:medicina55090558. [PMID: 31480765 PMCID: PMC6780056 DOI: 10.3390/medicina55090558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 08/26/2019] [Accepted: 08/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke (IS). Interleukin-1B and interleukin-1 receptor antagonists are key factors in inflammatory processes. Aims: The aims of our study were to evaluate the relationship between genetic variation in interleukin-1B (IL1B) rs1143627 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) variable-number-tandem-repeats (VNTR), and overall IS and subtype prevalence rates. Materials and Methods: The analysis included 147 hospitalized Polish patients with IS diagnosed using conventional criteria. The control group consisted of 119 healthy subjects. Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction. Results: A significant association between rs1143627 and stroke was found. The -31C IL1B polymorphism showed an association with overall IS, OR = 2.30 (1.36-3.87) p = 0.020. An association was also detected for LVI (large vessel infarction) subtypes of stroke. After risk factor adjustment (age, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia), the C allele was found to be an independent risk factor for LVI, OR = 1.99 (1.05-3.79) p = 0.036. Significant association was not observed between IL1RN alleles and IS. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the C allele of IL1B rs1143627 may be associated with susceptibility to overall IS and LVI subtypes of stroke in the Polish population.

Cytokine 2019; 123:154788.

Abstract
Nod-like Receptor Protein3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in macrophages infected with Leishmania sp. enhances the secretion of IL-1β. Excess IL-1β production is linked to disease severity in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by L. mexicana. Blockade of the NLRP3 inflammasome in cell cultures from skin biopsies of patients with CL caused by L. braziliensis inhibited the release of IL-1β. We hypothesized that common single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL1B and in its receptor antagonist IL1RN genes may be predictive of CL caused by L. guyanensis. The SNPs -511T/C (rs16944) and +3954C/T (rs1143634) of the IL1B and IL1RN VNTR (rs2234663) were assessed in 881 patients with CL and 837 healthy controls by PCR-RFLP and direct PCR respectively. Plasma cytokines levels were also assayed. The plasma levels of IL-1β were higher in patients compared to control subjects. In contrast, increased plasma levels of IL-1Ra were observed in controls. The rs16944 C/C genotype was more common among the patients (OR = 1.5 [95%CI 1.1-2.0]; P = 0.004) and the C allele suggests susceptibility to CL (OR = 1.2 [95%CI 1.1-1.4]; P = 0.003). The rs16944 C/C genotype shows a tendency to correlate with lower levels of the IL-1Ra cytokine. Low levels of IL-1Ra cytokine and rs16944 C/C genotype seem to confer susceptibility to L. guyanensis-infection in the Amazonas.

Abstract
Interleukins play important roles in pregnancy. Altered expression and splicing of various interleukins have been linked to the pathophysiology of recurrent pregnancy loss. Polymorphisms in interleukin genes can affect the expression and/or splicing of their respective genes and thus influence the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss. In this work, we examined the association between the IL1B rs16944, IL1B rs1143634, IL6 rs1800795, IL6 rs1800796, IL10 rs1800896 and IL18 rs187238 polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss risk in a Chinese population. Study subjects comprised 598 idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss patients and 603 controls. The genotyping was accomplished by PCR-RFLP. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the disease association. After adjustment by Bonferroni correction, only the IL1B rs16944 and IL6 rs1800796 polymorphisms were significantly associated with risk of recurrent pregnancy loss. The heterozygous TC genotype of IL1B rs16944 had an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.4209 (1.1302-1.8929) (P = 0.0019), while the homozygous CC genotype had an aOR of 1.7398 (1.2133-2.3203) (P = 0.0008). A significant association was also observed for the C allele [aOR = 1.3747 (1.1296-1.8972)] (P = 0.0003). For IL6 rs1800796, the heterozygous CG genotype, the homozygous GG genotype and the G allele had aORs of 0.7342 (0.4412-0.8423) (P = 0.0016), 0.5424 (0.1768-0.7865) (P = 0.0014) and 0.7009 (0.4511-0.8034) (P = 0.0007), respectively. In summary, the IL1B rs16944 and IL6 rs1800796 variants were associated with an increased and a decreased recurrent pregnancy loss risk, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy is the single strongest predictor of mortality in patients with diabetes. The development of overt nephropathy involves important inter-individual variations, even after adjusting for potential confounding influences of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Genome-wide transcriptome studies have reported the activation of inflammatory signaling pathways and there is mounting indication of the role of genetic factors. METHODS We screened nine genetic variations in three cytokine genes (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-β) in 1326 unrelated subjects comprising of healthy controls (n = 464), type 2 diabetics with nephropathy (DN, n = 448) and type 2 diabetes without nephropathy (T2D, n = 414) by sequence-specific amplification. Functional implication of SNPs was elucidated by correlation studies and relative gene expression using Realtime-Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). RESULTS Individual SNP analysis showed highest association of IL-1β rs16944-TT genotype (OR = 3.51, 95%CI = 2.36-5.21, P = 0.001) and TNF-α rs1800629-AA genotype (OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.64-4.59, P = 0.001) with T2D and DN respectively. The haplotype frequency showed significant risk of seven combinations among T2D and four combinations among DN subjects. The highest risk of T2D and DN was associated with GGTGAGTTT (OR = 4.25, 95%CI = 3.3-14.20, P = 0.0016) and GACGACCTT (OR = 21.3, 95%CI = 15.1-28.33, P = 0.026) haplotypes respectively. Relative expression by RT-qPCR showed increased cytokine expression in cases as compared to controls. TNF-α expression was increased by more than four-folds (n-fold = 4.43 ± 1.11) in DN. TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β transcript levels were significantly modulated by promoter region SNPs. CONCLUSIONS The present study implicates a strong association between cytokine TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β gene promoter polymorphisms and modulation of transcript levels with susceptibility to nephropathy in diabetes subjects.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between IL-1β-31T/C polymorphism and serum levels of IL-1β and the risk of acute heart failure (AHF). Methods: A total of 320 dyspnea patients (160 with AHF and 160 without AHF) and 100 healthy subjects were included in this study. IL-1β genotyping was performed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Results: Concentration of IL-1β was significantly higher in patients with heart failure (HF) compared with non-HF and control groups. Results of the distribution of IL-1β-31T/C genotypes and allele frequencies did not show any significant difference between the three groups. Serum levels of IL-1β were found to be higher among TT genotype than TC and CC genotype. Conclusion: IL-1β levels may be useful for the evaluation of diagnosis in acutely decompensated HF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current evidence suggests that many GWAS and IL1 SNPs are associated with periodontal diseases but their functional role remains ambiguous. Therefore, it is imperative to elucidate the molecular pathways through which these SNPs might act on the development of the disease. The purpose of this review was to highlight the regulatory elements of noncoding regions of the genome and provide insights on the functional role of periodontitis-associated GWAS and IL1 SNPs. DESIGN A search was performed using ENCODE data available on different browsers. RESULTS GWAS and IL1 SNPs overlap DNase I hypersensitivity sites, histone modifications and transcription binding sites. Some of these noncoding variants influenced the transcription activity of inflammatory genes. CONCLUSION SNPs associated with periodontal diseases may contribute to the development of the disorder through their functional roles. Unraveling the character of genetic components might explain the diversity of clinical phenotypes among population groups as well as disease susceptibility.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This is in part due to the asymptomatic nature of the disease, which often results in late-stage diagnosis, at which point there are limited treatment options. Even when treated successfully, gastric cancer patients have a high risk of tumor recurrence and acquired drug resistance. It is vital to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying gastric cancer pathogenesis to facilitate the design of new-targeted therapies that may improve patient survival. A number of chemically and genetically engineered mouse models of gastric cancer have provided significant insight into the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to disease onset and progression. This review outlines the strengths and limitations of current mouse models of gastric cancer and their relevance to the pre-clinical development of new therapeutics.

Abstract
Background Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a frequent consequence of hypoxic-ischemic injury. Functional cytokine gene variants that result in altered production of inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α] and interleukin-1beta [IL-1β]) or anti-inflammatory (interleukin-10 [IL-10]) cytokines may modify disease processes, including PVL. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a relationship between the two proinflammatory polymorphisms (TNF-α-1031T/C and IL-1β-511C/T) and the anti-inflammatory polymorphism IL-10-1082G/A and PVL risk in Brazilian newborns with and without this injury. Materials and methods A cross-sectional case-control study performed at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Children’s Hospital and Maternity of the São José do Rio Preto Medical School (FAMERP). Fifty preterm and term newborns were examined as index cases and 50 term newborns as controls, of both sexes for both groups. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes, and the sites that encompassed the three polymorphisms were amplified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results Gestational age ranged from 25 to 39 weeks, in the case group, and in the control group it ranged from 38 to 42.5 weeks (P<0.0001). Statistically significant association was found between TNF-α-1031T/C high expression genotype TC (odds ratio [OR], 2.495; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10–5.63; P=0.043) as well as between genotypes (TC + CC) (OR, 2.471; 95% CI, 1.10–5.55; P=0.044) and risk of PVL. Statistically significant association was found between IL-1β-511C/T high expression genotypes (CT + TT) (OR, 23.120; 95% CI, 1.31–409.4; P=0.003) and risk of PVL. Statistically significant association between IL-10-1082G/A high expression genotype GG (OR, 0.07407; 95% CI, 0.02–0.34; P<0.0001) as well as between IL-10-1082G high expression allele (OR, 0.5098; 95% CI, 0.29–0.91; P=0,030) and PVL reduced risk was observed. There was a statistically significant association between TC/CT/GA genotype combination and the risk of PVL (OR, 6.469; 95% CI, 2.00–20.92; P=0.001). Conclusion There is evidence of an association between the polymorphisms TNF-α-1031T/C, IL-1β-511C/T, and IL-10-1082G/A and PVL risk in this Brazilian newborn population studied.

Ancestry informative markers and selected single nucleotide polymorphisms in immunoregulatory genes on preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes: a case control study. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2016; 16:30. [PMID: 26846412 PMCID: PMC4743423 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-016-0823-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2015] [Accepted: 01/31/2016] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background A genetic predisposition to Preterm Labor (PTL) and Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) has been suggested; however the relevance of polymorphisms and ancestry to susceptibility to PTL and PPROM in different populations remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of maternal and fetal SNPs in the IL1B, IL6, IL6R, TNFA, TNFR, IL10, TLR2, TLR4, MMP9, TIMP1 and TIMP2 genes and the influence of ancestry background in the susceptibility to PTL or PPROM in Brazilian women. Methods Case–control study conducted at a tertiary hospital in São Paulo State, Brazil. We included women with PTL or PPROM and their babies (PTL: 136 women and 88 babies; PPROM: 65 women and 44 babies). Control group included 402 mother-babies pairs of term deliveries. Oral swabs were collected for identification of AIMs by fragment analysis and SNPs by Taqman® SNP Genotyping Assays and PCR. Linkage Disequilibrium and Hardy-Weinberg proportions were evaluated using Genepop 3.4. Haplotypes were inferred using the PHASE algorithm. Allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies were compared by Fisher’s exact test or χ2 and Odds Ratio. Logistic regression was performed. Clinical and sociodemographic data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test and Mann–Whitney. Results PTL was associated with European ancestry and smoking while African ancestry was protective. The fetal alleles IL10-592C (rs800872) and IL10-819C (rs1800871) were also associated with PTL and the maternal haplotype TNFA-308G-238A was protective. Maternal presence of IL10-1082G (rs1800896) and TLR2A (rs4696480) alleles increased the risk for PPROM while TNFA-238A (rs361525) was protective. Family history of PTL/PPROM was higher in cases, and time to delivery was influenced by IL1B-31T (rs1143627) and TLR4-299G (rs4986790). Conclusion There is an association between European ancestry and smoking and PTL in our Brazilian population sample. The presence of maternal or fetal alleles that modify the inflammatory response increase the susceptibility to PTL and PPROM. The family history of PTL/PPROM reinforces a role for genetic polymorphisms in susceptibility to these outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Interleukin (IL)-1 family members play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are conflicting results regarding the association of IL-1 gene cluster single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with IBD and its clinical features. The aim of this study was to examine IL-1α -889 C/T, IL-1β -511 C/T, IL-1β +3962 C/T, IL-1R Pst-I1970 C/T, and IL-1RA Mspa-I11100 C/T SNPs in Iranian patients. METHODS In this study, SNPs of IL-1 family members were investigated in 75 patients with IBD (40 CD and 35 UC), using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers method. RESULTS IL-1β -511 CC genotype was significantly less present in UC compared to controls, while IL-1RA Mspa-I11100 CC was significantly associated with both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IL-1α -889 TT genotype was more frequently associated with extraintestinal manifestations. A significant association was observed between IL-1β +3962 TT genotype and the disease activity in IBD. IL-1RA Mspa-I11100 CC was significantly less frequent in CD patients who need immunosuppressive therapy. IL-1RA Mspa-I11100 CT was associated with earlier age of onset in IBD, while TT genotype was associated with higher age of onset in IBD. CONCLUSIONS IL-1 SNPs seem to be associated with IBD and could affect the disease severity as well.

Abstract
Aims Inflammation in infective endocarditis (IE) is a complex network including interactions of inflammatory cytokines and other components of host response. Certainly, any variation in this network could influence susceptibility or disease progression of IE. In this study, 14 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in genes coding for interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, toll–like receptor-4, tumor necrosis factor-α, selectin E and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were analyzed for an association with susceptibility to IE and correlated with disease-related laboratory parameters. Furthermore, the occurrence of SNVs was examined to elucidate pathogen-dependent associations. Methods and Results The distribution of SNVs was determined in IE-patients and healthy blood donors by RFLP analysis. White blood cells (WBC) were counted using flow cytometry, concentration of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin was measured immunologically. Interleukin-6 c.471+870G>A genotypes differed significantly between IE patients and controls. The frequency of the heterozygote genotype GA was considerably higher in the patient group (68.9% vs. 43.8%, Pc<0.0003). Interleukin-6 c.-237 minor allele frequency was increased in patients, although not statistically significant. Additionally, we detected a potential relation between interleukin-1β c.315C>T and IE. Pathogen-dependent analysis showed no significantly associated subgroup in relation to IE susceptibility, but gave hints towards alterations regarding Enterococcus-caused IE cases. Patients with genotype selectin-E c.-19 GT tend to have higher preoperative WBC counts than patients with genotype GG. We further showed an association between two interleukin-1β SNVs and laboratory biomarkers. Conclusion This study shows genetic predispositions for the establishment of IE. Furthermore, correlation of SNVs with disease-related biomarkers suggests a role of genetic variants regarding the inflammatory response in IE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dengue patients present a range of symptoms: dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). It is not clear whether this variability is due to their genetic background. Here we tested polymorphisms of interleukin 1 beta (IL1B) and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) genes for association with DSS in the Thai population. METHODS Polymorphisms of IL1B -31C/T (rs1143627) and IL1RA 86-base-pair tandem repeat were analyzed in 871 patients (DF = 384, DHF = 413, and DSS = 74). RESULTS IL1B -31C and IL1RA 2/4 genotype were associated with DSS (IL1B -31C: DSS vs DHF: P = .0061, odds ratio [OR, 95% confidence interval {CI}], 3.49 [1.36-8.95]; DSS vs DF: P = .027, OR [95% CI], 2.81 [1.12-7.06]; IL1RA 2/4: DSS vs DHF: P = .017, OR [95% CI], 1.94 [1.12-3.40]; DSS vs DF: P = .024, OR [95% CI], 1.90 [1.07-3.4]). No difference was found between DF and DHF. Logistic regression analysis revealed that IL1B -31C and IL1RA 2/4 genotypes were each independently associated with DSS. CONCLUSIONS Patients with IL1B -31C carrier, or IL1RA 2/4 genotype carry a risk for DSS, implying that IL1B may play a role in pathogenesis of DSS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To assess whether the IL1B gene confers increased susceptibility to schizophrenia, we conducted case-control and family-based studies and an updated meta-analysis. METHODS We tested the association between IL1B and schizophrenia in 1229 case-control and 112 trio samples using 12 markers, including common tagging single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and a rare non-synonymous variation detected by resequencing the coding regions. We also performed a meta-analysis of rs16944 using a total of 8724 case-control and 201 trio samples from 16 independent populations. RESULTS We found no significant associations between any of the 12 SNVs examined and schizophrenia in either case-control or trio samples. Moreover, our meta-analysis results showed no significant association between the common SNV, rs16944, and schizophrenia. CONCLUSIONS The present study does not support a role for IL1B in schizophrenia susceptibility.

Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) records the electrical activity of the brain and enables effects of anaesthetic drugs on brain functioning to be monitored. Identification of genes contributing to EEG variability during anaesthesia is important to the clinical application of anaesthesia monitoring and may provide an avenue to identify molecular mechanisms underlying the generation and regulation of brain oscillations. Central immune signalling can impact neuronal activity in the brain and accumulating evidence suggests an important role for cytokines as neuronal modulators. We tested 21 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in immune-related genes for associations with three anaesthesia-induced EEG patterns; spindle amplitude, delta power and alpha power, during general anaesthesia with desflurane in 111 patients undergoing general, gynaecological or orthopaedic surgery. Wide inter-patient variability was observed for all EEG variables. MYD88 rs6853 (p = 6.7 × 10(-4)) and IL-1β rs1143627 in conjunction with rs6853 (p = 1.5 × 10(-3)) were associated with spindle amplitude, and IL-10 rs1800896 was associated with delta power (p = 1.3 × 10(-2)) suggesting involvement of cytokine signalling in modulation of EEG patterns during desflurane anaesthesia. BDNF rs6265 was associated with alpha power (p = 3.9 × 10(-3)), suggesting differences in neuronal plasticity might also influence EEG patterns during desflurane anaesthesia. This is the first study we are aware of that has investigated genetic polymorphisms that may influence the EEG during general anaesthesia.

Abstract
Interleukin-1β (Il1b) is considered to be involved in Helicobacter pylori (HP)-induced human gastric carcinogenesis, while the role of its polymorphisms in gastric cancer susceptibility remains controversial. Here, we aimed to clarify the role of HP infection-induced IL1B in gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis using Il1b(-/-) (Il1b-null) mice. In gastric mucosa of the Il1b(+/+) (WT) mice, HP infection induced Il1b expression and severe inflammation. In contrast, in Il1b-null mice, recruitment of neutrophils and macrophages by HP infection was markedly suppressed. In a carcinogenicity test, the multiplicity of gastric tumors was significantly suppressed in theIl1b-null mice (58% of WT; P<0.005). Mechanistically, HP infection induced NF-κB activation both in the inflammatory and epithelial cells in gastric mucosae, and the activation was attenuated in the Il1b-null mice. Accordingly, increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells induced by HP infection in the WT mice were attenuated in the Il1b-null mice. These results demonstrated that the IL1B physiologically induced by HP infection enhanced gastric carcinogenesis by affecting both inflammatory and epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the association of variation in genes involved in immune response, including IL10, production and detoxification of reactive oxygen species, and repair of oxidative DNA damage with risk of recurrence after surgery for localized prostate cancer. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study of men who had a radical prostatectomy in 1993 to 2001. A total of 484 recurrence cases and 484 controls were matched on age, race, and pathologic stage and grade. Germline DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded unaffected lymph nodes. We genotyped candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in IL10, CRP, GPX1, GSR, GSTP1, hOGG1, IL1B, IL1RN, IL6, IL8, MPO, NOS2, NOS3, SOD1, SOD2, SOD3, TLR4, and TNF and tagging SNPs in IL10, CRP, GSR, IL1RN, IL6, NOS2, and NOS3. We used conditional logistic regression to estimate OR and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS The minor allele (A) in IL10 rs1800872, known to produce less interleukin-10 (IL-10), was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.00-3.10), and the minor allele (G) in rs1800896, known to produce more IL-10, was associated with a lower risk of recurrence (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.48-0.91). We also observed associations for candidate SNPs in CRP, GSTP1, and IL1B. A common IL10 haplotype and 2 common NOS2 haplotypes were associated with recurrence. CONCLUSION Variation in IL10, CRP, GSTP1, IL1B, and NOS2 was associated with prostate cancer recurrence independent of pathologic prognostic factors. IMPACT This study supports that genetic variation in immune response and oxidation influence prostate cancer recurrence risk and suggests genetic variation in these pathways may inform prognosis.

Abstract
To elucidate a genetic predisposition to major depressive disorder, we investigated two polymorphisms (−31T/C and −511C/T) in the interleukin-1beta promoter region in patients who suffered from major recurrent depression. The aim of the current work was to compare alleles and genotype layout between patients with major recurrent depression and healthy people. We would like to indicate such combination of genotypes which corresponds with major recurrent depression. Correlations between genotypes for analyzed polymorphisms and number of episodes, number of points in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, and age of onset were investigated as well. The study group consisted of 94 patients diagnosed with major recurrent depression. The control group included 206 healthy individuals. Both groups involved representatives of Caucasian population. Genotyping of polymorphisms was performed by using PCR-RFLP technique. A specific haplotype, composed of the C allele at −31 and the T allele at −511, has a tendency to have a statistically significant difference (p = 0.064) between patients and control group. Correspondence analysis revealed that genotype T/T at −31 and genotype C/C at −511 are associated with major recurrent depression. No association was found between genotypes for studied polymorphic sites and number of episodes, number of points in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, and age of onset.

Abstract
Natural and synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely employed in a number of inflammatory, autoimmune and neoplastic diseases, and, despite the introduction of novel therapies, remain the first-line treatment for inducing remission in moderate to severe active Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Despite their extensive therapeutic use and the proven effectiveness, considerable clinical evidence of wide inter-individual differences in GC efficacy among patients has been reported, in particular when these agents are used in inflammatory diseases. In recent years, a detailed knowledge of the GC mechanism of action and of the genetic variants affecting GC activity at the molecular level has arisen from several studies. GCs interact with their cytoplasmic receptor, and are able to repress inflammatory gene expression through several distinct mechanisms. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is therefore crucial for the effects of these agents: mutations in the GR gene (NR3C1, nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1) are the primary cause of a rare, inherited form of GC resistance; in addition, several polymorphisms of this gene have been described and associated with GC response and toxicity. However, the GR is not self-standing in the cell and the receptor-mediated functions are the result of a complex interplay of GR and many other cellular partners. The latter comprise several chaperonins of the large cooperative hetero-oligomeric complex that binds the hormone-free GR in the cytosol, and several factors involved in the transcriptional machinery and chromatin remodeling, that are critical for the hormonal control of target genes transcription in the nucleus. Furthermore, variants in the principal effectors of GCs (e.g. cytokines and their regulators) have also to be taken into account for a comprehensive evaluation of the variability in GC response. Polymorphisms in genes involved in the transport and/or metabolism of these hormones have also been suggested as other possible candidates of interest that could play a role in the observed inter-individual differences in efficacy and toxicity. The best-characterized example is the drug efflux pump P-glycoprotein, a membrane transporter that extrudes GCs from cells, thereby lowering their intracellular concentration. This protein is encoded by the ABCB1/MDR1 gene; this gene presents different known polymorphic sites that can influence its expression and function. This editorial reviews the current knowledge on this topic and underlines the role of genetics in predicting GC clinical response. The ambitious goal of pharmacogenomic studies is to adapt therapies to a patient’s specific genetic background, thus improving on efficacy and safety rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids (GCs) are used in moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) but their effect is often unpredictable. AIM To determine the influence of 4 polymorphisms in the GC receptor [nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 (NR3C1)], interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and NACHT leucine-rich-repeat protein 1 (NALP1) genes, on the clinical response to steroids in pediatric patients with IBD. METHODS One hundred fifty-four young IBD patients treated with GCs for at least 30 days and with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were genotyped. The polymorphisms considered are the BclI in the NR3C1 gene, C-511T in IL-1β gene, and Leu155His and rs2670660/C in NALP1 gene. Patients were grouped as responder, dependant, and resistant to GCs. The relation between GC response and the genetic polymorphisms considered was examined using univariate, multivariate, and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that BclI polymorphism was more frequent in responders compared with dependant patients (P=0.03) and with the combined dependant and resistant groups (P=0.02). Moreover, the NALP1 Leu155His polymorphism was less frequent in the GC responsive group compared with resistant (P=0.0059) and nonresponder (P=0.02) groups. Multivariate analysis comparing responders and nonresponders confirmed an association between BclI mutated genotype and steroid response (P=0.030), and between NALP1 Leu155His mutant variant and nonresponders (P=0.033). An association between steroid response and male sex was also observed (P=0.034). In addition, Leu155His mutated genotype was associated with steroid resistance (P=0.034). Two CART analyses supported these findings by showing that BclI and Leu155His polymorphisms had the greatest effect on steroid response (permutation P value=0.046). The second CART analysis also identified age of disease onset and male sex as important variables affecting response. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm that genetic and demographic factors may affect the response to GCs in young patients with IBD and strengthen the importance of studying high-order interactions for predicting response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines play a major role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis. Both diseases were previously shown to be partly influenced by cytokine gene polymorphisms. Therefore, we evaluated whether the distributions of the cytokine genotypes were unique to subjects with both diseases. METHODS The study subjects consisted of Japanese adults with RA (RA group; n = 153), periodontitis only (P group; n = 117), and healthy individuals (H group; n = 108). Clinical periodontal condition was defined by measurements of probing depth, clinical attachment level, and bleeding on probing. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood and analyzed for the determination of 16 gene polymorphisms encoding interleukin (IL)-1, -2, -4, -6, and -10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and transforming growth factor-beta 1. RESULTS The frequency of patients with RA who exhibited periodontitis was 89.5% (RA + P group; n = 137). No significant differences were observed in any of the frequencies of cytokine genotypes and alleles among the subject groups. After adjustment for age, gender, and smoking status, multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a significant difference in the distribution of IL-1B +3954 genotypes between RA + P and P groups (P = 0.006) and between RA + P and H groups (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Japanese individuals with RA and periodontitis may exhibit different distributions of IL-1B +3954 genotypes than healthy controls and subjects with periodontitis only.

Abstract
Given substantial evidence for IL-1beta involvement in the etiology of depression, the IL1B gene is a strong candidate for involvement in susceptibility to depressive disorders. However, association studies investigating this, to date, have been limited to just two polymorphisms (rs1143627[-31T/C] and rs16944[-511C/T]) that constitute only a fraction of the genetic variation that is actually present across this gene in the population. Here, in a family-based association study of childhood-onset mood disorders (COMD), characterized by onset of depression before the age of 15, we have used a gene-wide approach, employing a panel of five tagging SNPs spanning the entire gene. Based on TDT analyses of both individual alleles and haplotypes, in a study sample of 646 families (with 782 affected children), none of the SNPs, including those implicated in transcriptional regulation of the gene, showed evidence for association with COMD. This is the largest and most comprehensive study of IL1B in relation to mood disorders that has been carried out, to date. The results do not support the involvement of IL1B as a major factor in genetic risk for early-onset mood disorders.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have revealed a close relationship between obesity and polymorphism in the inflammation gene. However, the association between interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and obesity remains controversial. We therefore investigated the association between IL-1B C-31T polymorphism and obesity in Japanese. Methods The participants were 802 inhabitants (281 men and 521 women) of Japan, aged 39 to 88 years, who attended a health examination in 2003. Body height, weight, waist and hip circumferences, and body fat percentage were measured. The IL-1B C-31T polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction with confronting 2-pair primers. The association between IL-1B C-31T genotypes and various indices of obesity was then investigated. The confounding factor-adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for obesity were calculated for each IL-1B C-31T genotype by using unconditional logistic regression analysis. Results Among male carriers of the CT and TT genotypes, the ORs for high body fat percentage were 2.58 (95% CI, 1.17–6.34) and 2.81 (1.17–7.33), respectively, as compared to carriers of the CC genotype (P for trend = 0.037). Among women, carriers of the TT genotype had significantly higher ORs for high BMI (OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.25–3.67) and large waist circumference (2.49; 1.37–4.66), as compared to women with the CC genotype (P for trend = 0.005 and 0.004, respectively). Conclusions The IL-1B C-31T polymorphism is associated with obesity in Japanese. Men and women with the TT genotype of IL-1B C-31T had a higher risk for obesity than those with the CC genotype.

Abstract
It is important to dissect the effect of the alternative alleles of a functional SNP on the entire biochemical pathway for the complete understanding of the mechanism of the manifestation of complex diseases. IL1B-511C>T and -31C>T promoter polymorphisms have been suggested as potential susceptibility loci for Helicobacter pylori associated gastroduodenal diseases. We report that altered expression of IL1B due to a specific polymorphism in its promoter modulates the expression of gastrin, an acid regulating hormone. Treatment of gastric carcinoma cells, AGS, with IL1B resulted in a 20-fold reduction in gastrin expression. Gastrin promoter assay showed that IL1B inhibits gastrin expression at the transcriptional level and part of this inhibitory process is mediated via activation of NFkappaB and involvement of HDACs. An almost 3-fold increase in IL1B expression was observed when AGS cells were transfected with -31TIL1B expression plasmid in comparison to -31CIL1B. The -31TIL1B induced a 2-fold greater repression of the gastrin luciferase activity compared to -31CIL1B. This signaling of the -31TIL1B variant allele driven IL1B revealed an almost 1.5-fold greater expression of NFkappaB. Thus, this study showed that a single base substitution at the -31 position of the IL1B promoter brought about differential expression of IL1B which differentially altered both NFkappaB activation and gastrin expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta gene have been associated with systemic atherogenesis, thrombosis and rupture. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-1beta and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in the natural course of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) patients. METHOD Two IL-1beta promoter SNPs (-511C-->T, -31T-->C) and 1 synonymous coding SNP in exon 5 at +3953C-->T (Phe) were genotyped in 410 BAVM patients. We performed a survival analysis of time to subsequent ICH, censoring cases at first treatment, death or last follow-up. A Cox regression analysis was performed to obtain hazard ratios (HRs) for genotypes adjusted for age, sex, Caucasian race/ethnicity and hemorrhagic presentation. RESULTS Subjects with the -31 CC genotype (HR = 2.7; 95% CI 1.1-6.6; p = 0.029) or the -511 TT genotype (HR = 2.6; 95% CI 1.1-6.5; p = 0.039) had a greater risk of subsequent ICH compared with reference genotypes, adjusting for covariates. The +3953C-->T SNP was not significantly associated with an increased ICH risk (p = 0.22). The IL-1beta promoter polymorphisms were also associated with BAVM susceptibility among a subset of 235 BAVM cases and 255 healthy controls of Caucasian race/ethnicity (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION IL-1beta promoter polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of ICH in BAVM clinical course and with BAVM susceptibility. These results suggest that inflammatory pathways, including the IL-1beta cytokine, may play an important role in ICH.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1beta is a cytokine released as part of the innate immune response to Plasmodium falciparum. Because the role played by IL-1beta polymorphic variability in conditioning the immunopathogenesis of severe malarial anemia (SMA) remains undefined, relationships between IL-1beta promoter variants (-31C/T and -511A/G), SMA (hemoglobin [Hb] level <6.0 g/dL), and circulating IL-1beta levels were investigated in children with parasitemia (n= 566) from western Kenya. The IL-1beta promoter haplotype -31C/-511A (CA) was associated with increased risk of SMA (Hb level <6.0 g/dL; odds ratio [OR], 1.98 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.55-2.27]; P < .05) and reduced circulating IL-1beta levels (p <.05). The TA (-31T/-511A) haplotype was nonsignificantly associated with protection against SMA (OR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.18-1.16]; p =.11) and elevated IL-1beta production ( p<.05). Compared with the non-SMA group, children with SMA had significantly lower IL-1beta levels and nonsignificant elevations in both IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and the ratio of IL-1Ra to IL-1beta. The results presented demonstrate that variation in IL-1beta promoter conditions susceptibility to SMA and functional changes in circulating IL-1beta levels.

Abstract
We examined a possible association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) promoter -1031T>C (rs1799964), -863C>A (rs1800630), and -857C>T (rs1799724) with severe malaria in 466 adult patients having Plasmodium falciparum malaria in northwest Thailand. Four TNF promoter alleles comprising these three SNPs were detected in the studied population. The frequency of the TNF U04 allele designated -1031C, -863C, and -857C was found to be significantly greater in patients with cerebral malaria than in patients with mild malaria (12.6%, cerebral malaria vs 5.6%, mild malaria; odds ratio =2.5; P=0.002). The association of U04 with susceptibility to cerebral malaria was not caused by linkage disequilibrium with any specific HLA-B and -DRB1 alleles.

Abstract
Proinflammatory genotypes of the IL-1 (interleukin-1) gene have been associated with an increased gastric cancer risk in Caucasians, whereas some studies in Asian populations did not find such association. Furthermore, the risk genotypes differed somewhat between Caucasian and Asian populations. These findings might reflect more complex genetic mechanisms in Asian compared with Caucasian populations. Therefore, we examined a polymorphism (rs1864169) in the general transcription factor 2A1 (GTF2A1) gene as a test of the hypothesis that this transcription factor and IL-IB gene polymorphisms interact in the effects on the gastric cancer risk due to the possible biological relationship between the two genes. Genotyping of the 515 control and 342 case samples was performed by primer extension assay and SNaPshot assays. We found an association between carriage of the IL1B-31C allele and gastric cancer among Koreans, which was observed only in subjects with GTF2A1 GG genotype. The GTF2A1GG/IL1B-31C carrier genotype combination showed stronger association with diffuse type gastric cancer cases. These findings indicate that the effect of the two genetic polymorphisms on risk of gastric cancer is synergistic. Our results also suggest that an additional host genetic factor acting epistatically may differentially contribute to the histogenesis of the diffuse and intestinal subtypes.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids such as prednisolone are used for their anti-inflammatory properties. But there is evidence to suggest that under certain conditions, glucocorticoids have pro-inflammatory effects, for example, enhancement of IL-1beta production. To date, it has been reported that IL-1beta production intensity was associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms at positions -1470, -511, and -31 in the promoter region and at position 3954 in exon 5 of the IL-1beta gene. In the present study, it was examined whether these IL-1beta genotypes were associated with the suppressive effect of prednisolone on IL-1beta production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A midrange concentration (10(-6) M) of prednisolone suppressed the LPS-induced increase in IL-1beta mRNA expression and protein release, while higher concentrations (10(-5) M, 10(-4) M) exhibited less suppression or had a synergistic stimulative effect on IL-1beta production in certain subjects. Under treatment with 10(-4) M prednisolone, the levels of IL-1beta protein production stimulated by LPS in PBMC extracted from the subjects with the IL-1beta TT(-31), TC(-31), and CC(-31) genotypes were suppressed to 6.0+/-3.4%, 31.4+/-57.0%, and 87.7+/-84.8%, respectively, of the level in prednisolone-untreated control cells (TT(-31) vs. CC(-31), p<0.05). Glucocorticoid-based anti-inflammatory therapy might be less effective in patients with the IL-1beta TC(-31) and CC(-31) genotypes than those with the TT(-31) genotype.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms have been demonstrated to associate with gastric cancer risk, of which IL1B-31T/C and -511C/T changes have been well investigated due to the possibility that they may alter the IL1B transcription. The signal transduction target upon interleukin 1 beta (IL1beta) stimulation, the nuclear factor of kappa B (NFkappaB) activation, supports cancer development, signal transduction in which is mediated by FS-7 cell-associated cell surface antigen (FAS) signaling. Based on recent papers describing the prognostic roles of the polymorphisms and the NFkappaB functions on cancer development, we sought to determine if Japanese gastric cancer patients were affected by the IL1B -31/-511 and FAS-670 polymorphisms. A case-control study was conducted on incident gastric adenocarcinoma patients (n=271) and age-gender frequency-matched control subjects (n=271). We observed strong linkage disequilibrium between the T allele at -511 and the C allele at -31 and between the C allele at -511 and the T allele at -31 in IL1B in both the cases and controls (R (2)=0.94). Neither IL1B-31, -511 nor FAS-670 polymorphisms showed significantly different risks of gastric adenocarcinoma. Though FAS-670 polymorphisms did not show any significant difference, the proportion of subjects with IL1B-31TT (or IL1B-511CC) increased according to stage (trend P=0.019). In particular, subjects with stage IV had a two times higher probability of having either IL1B-31TT (or IL1B-511CC) genotype compared with stage I subjects. These observations suggest that IL1B-31TT and IL1B-511CC are associated with disease progression.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is associated with decreased bone mineral mass. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial since both systemic and local mechanisms may play a role. Our objective was to determine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding members of the interleukin-1 family are associated with bone damage measured by densitometry in a series of 71 adult CD patients assessed at diagnosis. When compared with non-carrier CD patients, carriers of allele T of the interleukin-1beta gene (IL1B-511T) had a significantly lower bone mass at the total skeleton level (p = 0.0484) and a greater prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis (p = 0.0102). To our knowledge, this is the first evidence on the association between a genetic predisposition and low bone mass in CD patients. This finding supports the postulated inflammation-associated bone loss pathogenesis as one of the causes of bone weakness in CD.

A functional polymorphism in the IL1B gene promoter, IL1B -31C>T, is not associated with cerebral malaria in Thailand. Malar J 2005; 4:38. [PMID: 16098232 PMCID: PMC1224865 DOI: 10.1186/1475-2875-4-38] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2005] [Accepted: 08/14/2005] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background IL-1β and IL-1RA levels are higher in the serum of cerebral malaria patients than in patients with mild malaria. Recently, the level of IL1B expression was reported to be influenced by a polymorphism in the promoter of IL1, IL1B -31C>T. Methods To examine whether polymorphisms in IL1B and IL1RA influence the susceptibility to cerebral malaria, IL1B -31C>T, IL1B 3953C>T, and IL1RA variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) were analysed in 312 Thai patients with malaria (109 cerebral malaria and 203 mild malaria patients). Results In this population, IL1B -31C>T and IL1RA VNTRwere detected, while IL1B 3953C>T (i.e., IL1B 3953T) was not observed in the polymorphism screening for 32 patients. Further analyses for IL1B -31C>T and IL1RA VNTR in 110 cerebral malaria and 206 mild malaria patients showed no significant association of these polymorphisms with cerebral malaria. Conclusion The present results suggest that IL1B -31C>T and IL1RA VNTR polymorphisms do not play a crucial role in susceptibility or resistance to cerebral malaria.
