Bi-allelic presence of the interleukin-10 receptor 1 G330R allele is associated with cirrhosis in chronic HCV-1 infection

Abstract: Immune response to viral infection is an important determinant of liver injury in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Experimental and clinical data suggest a protective role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in hepatic fibrogenesis. The significance of two SNPs of the interleukin-10 receptor 1 (IL-10R1), S138G (SNP3) and G330R (SNP4) was investigated on (i) susceptibility to CHC, (ii) progression of hepatic fibrosis and (iii) response to interferon/ribavirin therapy. DNA and liver biopsies were obtained from 212 patients with… Show more

“…Our results are in line with previous studies suggesting that the investigated IL-10R1 variants are loss-of-function alleles that may be associated with certain disease phenotypes when homozygously present [Hofer et al, 2005]. It is assumed that the variants analyzed in this study may potentially alter IL-10 signaling during immune stimulation.…”

“…31 This variant was recently correlated with hepatic cirrhosis in hepatitis C virus infection. 32 For the second variant (Ser138Gly), structure analyses suggested a potential impact on the conformation of the IL10-IL10RA complex. 31 In our study, this polymorphism was associated with a reduced risk of lymphoma, mainly driven by the 50% risk reduction for HL.…”

“…Potential roles for IL-10 receptor polymorphisms in infectious disease outcomes have also been suggested. Specifically, effects of IL-10R1 variants in hepatitis C [22, 23] and progression to AIDS [24]. On the other hand, IL-10 variants that modulate IL-10 transcript production also regulate AIDS progression in HIV-1 infected individuals [2427].…”
