Association of Interleukin 6 Promoter Polymorphism (-174G/C) with IL-6 Level and Outcome in Severe SepsisInterleukin (IL-6) is a key cytokine in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis. The importance of a regulatory polymorphism within the IL-6 promoter remains unclear in these patients. The aim of the study was to determine if IL-6 (-174 G/C) promoter polymorphism has an effect on IL-6 plasma level and outcome of severe sepsis. The study was conducted in general ICU of Stradiñš Clinical University Hospital. A total of 103 critically ill patients with confirmed severe sepsis were prospectively included. Association analysis of the IL-6 (-174C) allele with serum level and clinical outcome was performed. We found no differences in genotype distribution between survivors and nonsurvivors. The serum IL-6 level was significantly higher in nonsurvivors compared with survivors. We found an association of genotype with the IL-6 level in nonsurvivors, but not in survivors. Our findings show a functional significance of IL-6 promoter polymorphisms in nonsurviving severe sepsis patients.

Plasma levels of endotoxin and various cytokines were assessed in 70 patients with gastrointestinal tract perforation. Sepsis developed in 29 of them, and eight of these (27.6%) had on admission endotoxin levels higher than 9.8 pg ml-1. The clinical outcome correlated with the level of tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), rather than with the endotoxin level. The high interleukin 6 (IL-6) level was shown in septic patients and no correlation was observed between the IL-6 level and the clinical outcome. Plasma TNFα levels tended to change independently from endotoxin levels, suggesting that TNFα may have been locally produced in inflammatory lesions.
