Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence supports the important role of neuroinflammation in some types of dementia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of epistasis of gene cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-α, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) on the susceptibility to the development of dementia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study, 221 patients diagnosed with dementia and 710 controls were included. The multifactor-dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis was performed to identify the epistasis between SNP located in genes of IL-α (rs1800587), IL-6 (rs1800796), TNFα (rs361525 and rs1800629), and IFNγ (rs2069705). The best risk prediction model was identified based on precision and cross-validation consistency. RESULTS Multifactor-dimensionality reduction analysis detected a significant model with the genes TNFα, IFNγ, IL1α, and IL6 (prediction success: 72%, p < 0.0001). When risk factors were analyzed with these polymorphisms, the model achieved a similar prediction for dementia as the genes-only model. CONCLUSION These data indicate that gene-gene interactions form significant models to identify populations susceptible to dementia.

Abstract
The skin is an immune-competent organ and this function may be impaired by exposure to chemicals, which may ultimately result in immune-mediated dermal disorders. Interindividual variability to chemical-induced skin immune reactions is associated with intrinsic individual characteristics and their genomes. In the last 30-40 years, several genes influencing susceptibility to skin immune reactions were identified. The aim of this review is to provide information regarding common genetic variations affecting skin immunotoxicity. The polymorphisms selected for this review are related to xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (CYPA1 and CYPB1 genes), antioxidant defense (GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genes), aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathway (AHR and ARNT genes), skin barrier function transepidermal water loss (FLG, CASP14, and SPINK5 genes), inflammation (TNF, IL10, IL6, IL18, IL31, and TSLP genes), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and neuroendocrine system peptides (CALCA, TRPV1, ACE genes). These genes present variants associated with skin immune responses and diseases, as well as variants associated with protecting skin immune homeostasis following chemical exposure. The molecular and association studies focusing on these genetic variants may elucidate their functional consequences and contribution in the susceptibility to skin immunotoxicity. Providing information on how genetic variations affect the skin immune system may reduce uncertainties in estimating chemical hazards/risks for human health in the future.

Abstract
Background: Sociodemographic characteristics and inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1 cytokine receptor type 2 (IL1R2), IL-6, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells like 2 (TREML2), may influence psychological disorders, including discomfort. Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) determine individual differences for the modulation of cytokines and indicate that genetics may also influence the comfort levels. However, the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, holistic comfort, and the roles played by IL1B rs16944, IL1R2 rs4141134, IL6 rs1800795, and TREML2 rs3747742 SNVs on the comfort levels of family caregivers (FCGs) of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients in palliative care (PC) is unknown. Thus, its investigation consisted in the aim of the present study. Methods: A questionnaire was applied to obtain sociodemographic information on 95 FCGs. The genotypes were identified using TaqMan assays. The Holistic Comfort Questionnaire for the Caregiver, which consists of 49 questions, was used to measure comfort levels. Differences between groups were assessed by the t test and linear regression. Results: Employed FCGs (p = .04), those youngest (p = .04), smokers (p = .04), and those with IL1R2 GA or AA genotypes (p = .03) presented lower comfort regarding the overall, environmental, sociocultural, and psychospiritual domains, respectively. Conclusions: Employment status, smoking habit, young age, and SNV IL1R2 rs4141134 could influence the comfort levels of FCGs of patients with HNC in PC.

Abstract
Adenovirus (Ad) is being explored for use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of infectious diseases and cancers. Ad with a deletion in early region 3 (ΔE3) provokes a stronger immune response than Ad with deletions in early regions 1 and E3 (ΔE1/ΔE3). The ΔE1/ΔE3 Ads are more popular because they can carry a larger transgene and because of the deleted E1 (E1A and E1B), are perceived safer for clinical use. Ad with a deletion in E1B55K (ΔE1B55K) has been in phase III clinical trials for use in cancer therapy in the US and has been approved for use in head and neck tumor therapy in China, demonstrating that Ad containing E1A are safe for clinical use. We have shown previously that ΔE1B55K Ad, even while promoting lower levels of an inserted transgene, promoted similar levels of transgene-specific immune responses as a ΔE3 Ad. Products of the Ad early region 4 (E4) limit the ability of cells to mount an innate immune response. Using this knowledge, we deleted the Ad E4 open reading frames 1-4 (E4orf1-4) from the ΔE1B55K Ad. Here, we show that innate cytokine network genes are elevated in the ΔE4 Ad-infected cells beyond that of ΔE3 Ad-infected cells. Further, in immunized mice the IgG2a subclass was favored as was the IgG1 subclass in immunized nonhuman primates. Thus, Ad E4 impacts immune responses in cells, in immunized mice, and immunized nonhuman primates. These Ad may offer advantages that are beneficial for clinical use.Importance: Adenovirus (Ad) is being explored for use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of infectious diseases and cancers. Here we provide evidence in cells, mice, and nonhuman primates supporting the notion that Ad early gene-products limit specific immune responses. Ad constructed with deletions in early genes and expressing HIV envelope protein was shown to induce greater HIV-specific cellular immune responses and higher titer antibodies compared to the parental Ad with the early genes. In addition to eliciting enhanced immunity, the deleted Ad possesses more space for insertion of additional or larger transgenes needed for targeting other infectious agents or cancers.

Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cytokine genes and the susceptibility to Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (SIL), cervical cancer and HPV infection through a systematic review with meta-analysis. To verify the effect of SNPs, we also analyzed the transcription factor binding affinity using bioinformatics tools.Methods: Seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scielo, BIREME, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct) were searched for case-control studies.Results: A total of 35 relevant case-control studies were meta-analyzed, including 7 cytokine genes and 15 SNPs. SNPs in IL-17A (rs2275913, rs3748067); IL-17 F (rs763780); IL-12A (rs568408); IL-12B (rs3212227); TNFA (rs1800629, rs361525); IL-1B (rs16944); IL-6 (rs1800795); IL-10 (rs1800896) genes were associated with increased risk for cervical cancer. No association was observed between meta-analyzed polymorphisms and SIL. Additional bioinformatics analysis suggested a possible transcriptional regulation pathway of the TNFA and IL-10 genes through the MZF1 (TNFA -308 G > A and IL-10 - 1082A>G) and ZNF263 (TNFA -238 G > A) transcription factors binding.Conclusion: Overall, 10 SNPs in cytokine genes were associated with increased risk for cervical cancer. Therefore, in our meta-analysis, these SNPs demonstrated to be potential biomarkers for predicting or identifying cases of high risk for SIL and cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to produce a pcDNA3.1(+)-ureA recombinant vector and evaluate the capacity of this vector to stimulate the immune response against H. pylori infection in infused BALB/c mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pcDNA3.1(+)-ureA construct was prepared and transformed into E. coli, successfully. The animals we used in the study were allotted into three groups for infusion of 1) recombinant plasmid, 2) pcDNA3.1(+)-ureA + nanoparticles, and 3) pcDNA3.1(+). Blood and tissue specimens from each group of mice were collected at days 15, 30, and 45 after the last infusion and the expression levels of cytokines such as TGF-β1, IL-4, and IFNγ genes comparing to GAPDH as well as the expression of ureA in the mice’s thigh muscle were evaluated. RESULTS The genes expression analysis showed that the IL4 expression significantly decreased (p<0.001) but IFNγ and TGF-β1 expression increased in the blood of infused mice (p<0.001). Also, the urea expression level in pcDNA3.1(+)-urea and pcDNA3.1(+)-ureA+ nanoparticle 15, 30, and 45 days after the last infusion was significantly different (p<0.001) and its expressions at days 15 and 30 were significantly different (p<0.001), but 45 days after the last infusion it was not significantly different (p>0.05). CONCLUSION The pcDNA3.1(+)-ureA recombinant vector with or without chitosan nanoparticles can stimulate the immune response in animal models against H. pylori infection. Also, after combining the recombinant vector with nanoparticles we observed a better immune response was observed. In future studies this recombinant construct can be used as a biomarker and therapeutic approaches in eukaryotic systems.

Abstract
CONTEXT Little is known about the phenotypic and molecular characteristics associated with various domains of quality of life (QOL) in women after breast cancer surgery. OBJECTIVES In a sample of women with breast cancer (n = 398), purposes were as follows: to identify latent classes with distinct trajectories of QOL from before surgery through six months after surgery and to evaluate for differences in demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as for polymorphisms in cytokine genes, between these latent classes. METHODS Latent class analyses were done to identify subgroups of patients with distinct QOL outcomes. Candidate gene analyses were done to identify cytokine gene polymorphisms associated with various domains of QOL (i.e., physical, psychological, spiritual, social). RESULTS One latent class was identified for the psychological and spiritual domains. Two latent classes were identified for the social domain and overall QOL scores. Three latent classes were identified for the physical domain. For the physical and social domains, as well as for the overall QOL scores, distinct phenotypic characteristics (i.e., younger age, poorer functional status, higher body mass index, and receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy) and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms (CXCL8, NFKB2, TNFSF, IL1B, IL13, and NFKB1) were associated with membership in the lower QOL classes. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that women experience distinctly different physical well-being, social well-being, and total QOL outcomes during and after breast cancer surgery. The genetic associations identified suggest that cytokine dysregulation influences QOL outcomes. However, specific QOL domains may be impacted by different cytokines.

Abstract
CONTEXT Most of the reviews on the biological basis for symptom clusters suggest that inflammatory processes are involved in the development and maintenance of the symptom clusters. However, no studies have evaluated for associations between genetic polymorphisms and common symptom clusters (e.g., mood disturbance, sickness behavior). OBJECTIVES Examine the associations between cytokine gene polymorphisms and the severity of three distinct symptom clusters (i.e., mood-cognitive, sickness-behavior, treatment-related) in a sample of patients with breast and prostate cancer (n = 157) at the completion of radiation therapy. METHODS Symptom severity was assessed using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Symptom clusters were created using exploratory factor analysis. The associations between cytokine gene polymorphisms and the symptom cluster severity scores were evaluated using regression analyses. RESULTS Polymorphisms in C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), interleukin (IL13), and nuclear factor kappa beta 2 (NFKB2) were associated with severity scores for the mood-cognitive symptom cluster. In addition to interferon gamma (IFNG1), the same polymorphism in NFKB2 (i.e., rs1056890) that was associated with the mood-cognitive symptom cluster score was associated with the sickness-behavior symptom cluster. Polymorphisms in interleukin 1 receptor 1 (IL1R1), IL6, and NFKB1 were associated with severity factor scores for the treatment-related symptom cluster. CONCLUSION Our findings support the hypotheses that symptoms that cluster together have a common underlying mechanism and the most common symptom clusters in oncology patients are associated polymorphisms in genes involved in a variety of inflammatory processes.

Abstract
CONTEXT Little is known about the phenotypic and molecular characteristics associated with changes over time in fatigue and lack of energy in patients with breast cancer. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify subgroups (i.e., latent classes) of women with distinct fatigue and energy trajectories; evaluate for differences in phenotypic characteristics between the latent classes for fatigue and energy; and evaluate for associations between polymorphisms in genes for pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, their receptors, and their transcriptional regulators and latent class membership. METHODS Patients were enrolled before and followed for six months after breast cancer surgery. Latent class analyses were done to identify subgroups of patients with distinct fatigue and energy trajectories. Candidate gene analyses were done to identify cytokine genes associated with these two symptoms. RESULTS For both fatigue and lack of energy, two distinct latent classes were identified. Phenotypic characteristics associated with the higher fatigue class were younger age, higher education, lower Karnofsky Performance Status score, higher comorbidity, higher number of lymph nodes removed, and receipt of chemotherapy (CTX). Polymorphisms in interleukin (IL) 1β and IL10 were associated with membership in the higher fatigue class. Phenotypic characteristics associated with the lower energy class included: a lower Karnofsky Performance Status score and a higher comorbidity score. A polymorphism in IL1R1 was associated with membership in the lower energy class. CONCLUSION Within each latent class, the severity of fatigue and decrements in energy were relatively stable over the first six months after breast cancer surgery. Distinct phenotypic characteristics and genetic polymorphisms were associated with membership in the higher fatigue and lower energy classes.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the relationship of IL-1β and IL-6 cytokine gene polymorphisms with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in 61 patients admitted to the neurology clinic in Kafkas University Hospital with insomnia problem who were diagnosed with OSAS in sleeping labs, and 80 healthy subjects not associated with the syndrome. METHODS :Blood samples were taken to isolate DNA from patients diagnosed with OSAS based on polysomnography results and healthy controls. DNA amplification of the genes was performed with PCR. Amplification products were cut with the restriction enzymes in order to determine IL-1 gene (TaqI) and IL-6 gene (Lwel) polymorphisms. The cut DNA fragments were carried out in agarose gel electrophoresis, and RFLP analysis was performed by utilizing the images with gel imaging system. PCR products were sequenced with an Applied Biosystems Automated Sequencer. RESULTS Polymorphic changes were observed for IL-1β gene in 26 of 62 patients (41.9%), and 16 of the 80 (25.8%) in the control group. The incidence of polymorphic changes in IL-6 gene was in seen in seven (of the 62 patients) (11.3%), and in the 16 (20%) controls. CONCLUSION The findings on the genomic level in OSAS may provide an important contribution to diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in clinical practice, as well as it helps to obtain the results easily about environmental and genetic interaction of OSAS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kimchi is a traditional fermented food in Korea that contains various unique microorganisms. Diverse bacteria are involved in the process of Kimchi fermentation and the healthful advantages; one of the major species is Lactobacillus. We investigated whether lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi (KLAB) are capable of reducing intracellular lipid accumulation by downregulating the expression of adipogenesis and lipogenesis promoting genes in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. RESULTS KLAB (Lactobacillus brevis OPK-3) mediated dose-dependent inhibition of adipocyte differentiation, intracellular triglyceride accumulation and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity. The expression of transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α involved in adipogenesis was markedly decreased by the KLAB treatment. Terminal adipogenic marker, e.g. adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (aP2), lipoprotein lipase, liver X receptor α, leptin and GPDH were significantly downregulated by KLAB treatment compared to untreated control. Moreover, cytokine genes, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 mRNA expressions level were also decreased, whereas adiponectin mRNA level was upregulated by KLAB. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the KLAB inhibits lipid accumulation in the differentiating adipocyte through downregulating the expression of adipogenic transcription factors and other specific genes involved in lipid metabolism.

Abstract
No data exist to assess certain polymorphisms that have a potential effect on the immune response in patients with chronic hepatitis delta (CHD). The aim of this study was to investigate polymorphisms in 6 polymorphic sites: IL-10 -1082 (rs1800896), IL-10 -627 (rs1800872), IFN-γ +874 (rs62559044), TNF-α -308 (rs1800629), vitamin D receptor (VDR) FokI (rs2228570) and VDR TaqI (rs731236). The genotypes of 67 patients with CHD and 119 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were compared. In addition, 56 individuals with resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection were used as a control group for patients with CHB. Polymorphisms in TNF-α, IL-10, and VDR genes were analysed using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. The IFN-γ gene polymorphism was detected by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Patients with CDH were more likely to have advanced liver disease compared with patients with CHB (P < 0.0001). IL-10 -1082 and VDR TaqI polymorphisms showed significant differences between patients with CHD and CHB. The high secretory IL-10 -1082 genotype GG was less frequent in CHD compared with patients with CHB and resolved HBV (17.7%, 37.4% and 47.1%, respectively (P < 0.05 for CHD vs CHB and resolved HBV). The frequency of the high secretory VDR TaqI TT genotype was 86.6% in patients with CHD, 62.7% in patients with CHB and 62.5% in resolved HBV individuals (CHD vs CHB: P < 0.05). None of the polymorphisms analysed had an effect on HBV persistence. IL-10 -1082 and VDR TaqI polymorphisms may contribute to the more severe liver disease associated with CHD compared with CHB.

Abstract
Gingivitis and periodontitis are chronic inflammatory diseases of the periodontal tissue in humans caused by both environmental and genetic factors. The human cytokine genes that regulate the immune response may play an important role in the development of these chronic inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study is to analyze the allele status of eight human cytokine genes and to associate it with the inflammation of periodontal tissue in humans. A total of 296 unrelated males of Russian origin were studied. A significant association of theIL1BandIL6 minor alleles and gingivitis was found. In addition, we found a significant association of the OHI-S index with theIL18gene alleles. The influence of genetic factors on gingivitis may contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between genetic and environmental factors in periodontal conditions, and to the identification of risk groups for effective prevention and treatment.
