Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an immunoregulatory cytokine involved in various inflammatory and immune responses. To investigate the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of IL-6 on resistance to Eimeria tenella (E. tenella), SNPs in the 5′ regulatory region of IL-6 were detected with direct sequencing, and the effects of SNPs and haplotypes on resistance to E. tenella were analyzed by the least square model in Jinghai yellow chickens. Nineteen SNPs were identified in the 5′ regulation region of IL-6, among which three SNPs were newly discovered. The SNP association analysis results showed that nine of the SNPs were significantly associated with E. tenella resistance indexes; the A-483G locus was significantly associated with the GSH-Px, IL-2, and IL-17 indexes (p < 0.05); the C-447G locus was significantly associated with the SOD, GSH-Px, IL-17, and IL-2 indexes (p < 0.05); and the G-357A locus had significant effects on the CAT and IL-16 indexes (p < 0.05). Haplotype analysis showed that H2H3 and H2H5 were favorable haplotype combinations with good coccidium resistance. Furthermore, we used qRT-PCR and observed that the expression of IL-6 in the infection group was higher than that in the control group in the liver, proventriculus, small intestine, thymus, kidney, and bursa of Fabricius and extremely significantly different than that in the cecum especially (p < 0.01). In summary, SNPs and haplotypes in the 5′ regulatory region of IL-6 have important effects on E. tenella resistance, and the results will provide a reference for molecular marker selection of E. tenella resistance in Jinghai yellow chickens.

Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is an important pollutant associated with various chronic-degenerative diseases. The cytoprotective protein nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (NRF2) has been proposed as an important responsive mechanism against iAs exposure. The aim of this study was to determine whether the risk of skin lesions in people exposed to iAs-contaminated water could be modified by the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NRF2 coding gene. We studied 117 individuals with long-term iAs exposure and 120 nonexposed individuals. Total As was determined in water, meanwhile iAs and its metabolites were measured in urine. The iAs-induced skin lesion status was evaluated by expert dermatologists. We sequenced the promoter region of NRF2 in a sample of 120 healthy donors. We found four polymorphisms previously reported and one novel polymorphism in the 5′ regulatory region of the NRF2. In this study, we did not find allelic and genotype association of NRF2 polymorphisms with iAs-related skin lesion. However, the analysis of haplotypes composed by –653GA, and –617CA NRF2 single nucleotide polymorphisms showed a significant association with protection against skin lesions in the low-As exposure group. This is the first report studying the association between NRF2 polymorphisms and susceptibility of As-related skin lesions. Increasing the sample size will allow us to confirm this data.
