Assessment of the role of IL6 and IL10 gene polymorphisms as a risk factor for the development of restenosis in patients after implantation of drug-eluting stents

Relevance. Currently, the number of percutaneous coronary interventions continues to increase, which leads to an increase in the absolute number of restenosis cases, which is the main complication of the long-term postoperative period. The search for risk factors responsible for restenosis and artery re-narrowing mechanisms in order to prevent this complication is an important goal in interventional cardiology. Risk factors for the restenosis development include clinical, angiographic and genetic factors. An active search for biomolecular markers associated with the coronary artery restenosis is currently underway. Objective: to study the role of polymorphic variants C-174G of the IL6 gene and C-819T of the IL10 gene as a risk factor for the development of restenosis in patients after stent implantation. Materials and Methods : The study included 113 patients with stable coronary artery disease, who had previously undergone balloon angioplasty and implantation of drug-eluting stents, and 62 patients with intact arteries that were included to the control group. Statistical data processing was carried out using the R-language program and the SPSS Statistics 20 software package. Results: GG genotype for IL6 gene was associated with the development of coronary artery disease. In the subgroup of patients over 65 years of age and instent restenosis, the GG genotype was significantly less frequent. The homozygous CC genotype for IL10 gene was associated with rapid angiographic in-stent restenosis progression.

Prevalence of Allelic and Genotypic Variants of Il4, Il10, Il12b and Tlr2 Gene Polymorphism in Patients with Chronic Polypoid Rhinosinusitis

Chronic polyposis rhinosinusitis (CPRS) is an important medical and social problem due to its prevalence, combination with other diseases (bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis), prolonged recurrent course, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life and performance of patients. Bronchopulmonary, rhinogenic orbital and intracranial complications arising against the background of chronic sinusitis not only worsen the quality of life of patients, but also sometimes lead to long-term disability, and sometimes to disability. The results of our study demonstrated that the distribution of the genotypes of polymorphisms of all genes corresponded to the expected, i.e., in this case, the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is fulfilled in both groups. Both samples rs2243250 of the IL4 gene were characterized by high frequencies of the unfavorable C allele and the heterozygous T / C genotype, rs3212227 of the IL12B gene of the A allele and the heterozygous A / C genotype, rs1800895 592 C> A in the IL10 gene of the A, C alleles, and heterozygous C rs5743708 in the TLR2 gene of the C allele and the heterozygous C / T genotype, hence the high level of genetic variability of the studied genes.

Contrasting Roles of Ang II and ACEA in the Regulation of IL10 and IL1β Gene Expression in Primary SHR Astroglial Cultures

Angiotensin (Ang) II is well-known to have potent pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory effects in the brain. Extensive crosstalk between the primary Ang II receptor, Ang type 1 receptor (AT1R), and the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) has been demonstrated by various groups in the last decade. Since activation of glial CB1R has been demonstrated to play a key role in the resolution of inflammatory states, we investigated the role of Ang II (100 nM) and/or ACEA (10 nM), a potent CB1R-specific agonist in the regulation of inflammatory markers in astrocytes from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar rats. Astrocytes were cultured from brainstems and cerebellums of SHR and Wistar rats and assayed for IL1β and IL10 gene expression and secreted fraction, in treated and non-treated cells, by employing qPCR and ELISA, respectively. mRNA expression of both IL10 and IL1β were significantly elevated in untreated brainstem and cerebellar astrocytes isolated from SHR when compared to Wistar astrocytes. No changes were observed in the secreted fraction. While ACEA-treatment resulted in a significant increase in IL10 gene expression in Wistar brainstem astrocytes (Log2FC ≥ 1, p < 0.05), its effect in SHR brainstem astrocytes was diminished. Ang II treatment resulted in a strong inhibitory effect on IL10 gene expression in astrocytes from both brain regions of SHR and Wistar rats (Log2FC ≤ −1, p < 0.05), and an increase in IL1β gene expression in brainstem astrocytes from both strains (Log2FC ≥ 1, p < 0.05). Co-treatment of Ang II and ACEA resulted in neutralization of Ang II-mediated effect in Wistar brainstem and cerebellar astrocytes, but not SHR astrocytes. Neither Ang II nor ACEA resulted in any significant changes in IL10 or IL1β secreted proteins. These data suggest that Ang II and ACEA have opposing roles in the regulation of inflammatory gene signature in astrocytes isolated from SHR and Wistar rats. This however does not translate into changes in their secreted fractions.

Association between the IL10 rs1800896 Polymorphism and Tardive Dyskinesia in Schizophrenia

Objective Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a major immunoregulatory cytokine and its gene plays a fundamental role in anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. This study aimed to examine the association between the IL10 gene promoter -1082G/A polymorphism (rs1800896) and tardive dyskinesia (TD) in schizophrenia.Methods Two hundred and eighty unrelated Korean schizophrenic patients participated in this study (105 TD and 175 non-TD patients). TD was diagnosed using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TD and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). Genotyping was performed by RT-PCR and high-resolution melting curve analysis.Results The distributions of genotypic frequencies did not differ between patients with and without TD (χ²=4.33, p=0.115). However, allelic frequencies of the two groups were different (χ²=4.45, p=0.035); the A allele frequency was higher in TD. The total AIMS scores of the three genotypes were not different (F=1.33, p=0.266). However, the total AIMS scores of the A allele carrier and the A allele non-carrier were significantly different (t=5.79, p<0.001). Logistic regression analaysis showed that <i>IL10</i> -1082G/A genotype significantly predicts presence of TD (p=0.045) after adjusting for covariates such as age and treatment duration.Conclusion This finding suggests that the A allele of rs1800896 may be associated with TD development following a low IL-10 function.

The pathogenic role of IL10 gene polymorhisms in type 1 diabetes mellitus

Сахарный диабет типа 1 (СД1) представляет собой многофакторное заболевание, которое характеризуется аутоиммунной природой. Важным фактором в патогенезе СД1 является генетическая предрасположенность, характеризующаяся наличием функциональных однонуклеотидных замен (SNP) в генах цитокинов, ответственных за воспаление. Предполагают, что длительное хроническое воспаление приводит к необратимому разрушению β-клеток поджелудочной железы и может быть объяснено наличием функциональных полиморфных маркеров в генах-антагонистах. Цель исследования - изучение частоты аллельных вариантов ряда полиморфных маркеров гена IL10 при СД1 у жителей Москвы и Московской области. Методика. В работу включено 366 больных СД 1 типа и 526 здоровых индивидов русского происхождения. Группу больных составили пациенты с наличием сахарного диабета 1 типа различной манифестации с общей медианой 41±5 лет. Обе группы выравнены по полу и возрасту. Определение генотипов полиморфных маркеров rs1800896, rs1800872 и rs3024505 гена IL10 проводилось с помощью ПЦР «в реальном времени» на амплификаторе «Real-time CFX96 Touch» (Bio-Rad, США) с использованием готовой смеси для ПЦР qPCRmix-HS (Евроген, Россия) и уникальных праймеров и зондов. Результаты. В результате проведенного исследования выявлена статистически значимая ассоциация полиморфного маркера rs1800896 гена IL10 с повышенным риском развития СД1 (χ2=15.52, OR=1.48, CI95%=1.23-1.79, р=0,0004). Заключение. Полученные результаты дополняют информацию о механизмах возникновения СД типа 1. Внедрение в практику анализа полиморфных вариантов гена IL10 позволит выявить предрасположенность к развитию этого заболевания, его прогрессированию у пациентов с аутоиммунными заболеваниями и у лиц, находящихся в группе риска. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a multifactorial disease of an autoimmune origin. An important factor in the pathogenesis of T1DM is genetic predisposition characterized by the presence of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cytokine genes contributing to inflammation. Long-standing, chronic inflammation is considered to result in irreversible destruction of all pancreatic b-cells and may be due to the presence of functional polymorphic markers in genes of inflammation antagonists, such as the interleukin 10 (IL10) gene. Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of allelic variants in a number of IL10 gene polymorphic markers in residents of Moscow and the Moscow Region with T1DM. Methods. The study includes 366 patients with T1DM with different manifestations and a median duration of 41+5 years and 526 healthy individuals. The groups were gender- and age-matched. Genotypes of the rs1800896, rs1800872, and rs3024505 polymorphic markers of the IL10 gene were determined with real-time PCR on a Real-Time CFX96 Touch amplifier (Bio-Rad, USA) with a qPCRmix-HS ready-mixed PCR kit (Eurogen, Russia) and unique primers and probes. Results. The rs1800896 polymorphic marker of the IL10 gene statistically significantly correlated with increased risk of T1DM (χ2=15.52, OR=1.48, CI95%=1.23-1.79, р=0.0004). Conclusion. The study results complement the information about T1DM mechanisms of origin and pathogenesis. Implementation in practice of the methods for analyzing polymorphic variants of the IL10 gene will allow revealing a predisposition to this disease and/or its progression in patients with autoimmune diseases or in people at risk.
