Association of interleukin-1beta and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms in Turkish children with atopic asthma

Abstract: Asthma is a complex genetic disease. Genetic and functional characteristics of interleukin (IL)-1 support a role as an asthma locus for the IL-1 family on chromosome 2q12-21. This study was performed to investigate the relationship between polymorphisms of IL-1beta promoter region -511C/T and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) gene (IL-RN) and bronchial asthma in Turkish children. Children were divided into two groups: (1) bronchial asthma (n=328) and (2) healthy control (n=246). Polymerase chain reaction was u… Show more

“…In asthmatic subjects, the NO-producing MDRC populations B & C produced ~400-fold more IL-6 than their counterparts purified from COPD or normal samples or compared to ROS-producing MDRC. IL-1β, a proinflammatory signature cytokine for MDRC that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, 35 was increased in BAL MDRC culture supernatants from asthmatics compared to COPD and normal subjects. IL-17 was produced by the ROS-producing populations E & F in all study groups, at increased levels compared to the NO-producing MDRC.…”

“…Although many studies investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in pro-inflammatory cytokine genes and asthma phenotypes (Che et al, 2014; Padron-Morales et al, 2013; Panek et al, 2014; Savenije et al, 2011; Zeyrek et al, 2008), there is only one study that focused on DA. Beghé et al (2004) studied tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNFα ) A-308G polymorphism in TDI-induced asthma but found no significant difference in frequency of this variant between cases and asymptomatic exposed subjects.…”

“…Furthermore, epithelial and monocytic cells (PBMCs and alveolar macrophages) taken from such patients respond to inflammatory stimuli with greater IL-1␤ production (21,48,68). Polymorphisms in IL-1␤ (also designated IL1B) and IL1ra (also designated IL1RN) are associated with a greater risk of COPD (34) and asthma (69), although the exact correlation remains to be clarified (2). Thus, evidence of the detrimental effects of IL-1␤ within the airway is established (60).…”
