IL-10Polymorphisms and Tuberculosis Susceptibility: An Updated Meta-Analysis

Abstract: PurposeThe association of interleukin-10 (IL-10) polymorphisms (-1082G/A, -819C/T, -592A/C) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) poly-morphisms (-174G/C) with tuberculosis (TB) risk has been widely reported. However, the results are controversial. To clarify the role of these polymorphisms in TB, we performed a meta-analysis of all available and relevant published studies.Materials and MethodsBased on comprehensive searches of the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Elsevier Science Direct and Cochrane Library databa… Show more

“…In this study, the -1082G allele appears to confer a risk for acquisition of P. falciparum infection. Similarly, IL-10 -1082GG homozygosity has been implicated as a risk factor for other diseases, for example for tuberculosis [13]. However, this was not consistent with reports from another study showing that the homozygous AA genotype as the common genotype in the population of Belem in Brazil [26].…”

“…In the context of TB, meta-analyses suggest that polymorphisms in the IL-10 gene, specifically -1082G/A polymorphisms in Europeans and -592A/C polymorphisms in Asians are significantly associated with TB risk (340). Further, antigen-specific IL-10 production is found in pulmonary TB patients (341, 342) and along with TNF-α production can be used to reliably distinguish between latent TB and pulmonary TB (342).…”

“…Interleukins also play important role in resistance to TB. The results obtained suggest that polymorphism of IL-10 and IL-6 is associated with the increased TB risk in the Europeans and Asians [22]. For instance, the IL-10 -1082G/A polymorphism is associated with the increased TB risk in the Europeans, while the IL-10 -819C/T and IL-10 -592A/C polymorphisms in the Asians.…”

“…For instance, the IL-10 -1082G/A polymorphism is associated with the increased TB risk in the Europeans, while the IL-10 -819C/T and IL-10 -592A/C polymorphisms in the Asians. However, the IL-6 -174G/C polymorphism might be a genetic risk factor that decreases TB susceptibility in Asians [22]. In the severe course of TB there is a decrease of interleukin-2 production (IL-2) that is responsible for macrophage activation and initiation of the interferon-γ synthesis and at the same time there is an increase of IL-10 expression that has the immunosuppressive activity [4].…”
