Proinflammatory Cytokine Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Nasal Polyposis

Abstract: To investigate the association between nasal polyposis (NP) and single nucleotide polymorphisms of the proinflammatory cytokines IL (interleukin) 1␣ (the IL1A gene), IL-1␤ (the IL1B gene), and tumor necrosis factor ␣ (the TNFA gene).

“…Polyp tissue includes mixed inflammatory cells, of which eosinophils are the most dominant. They have the primary role in the perpetuation of chronic inflammation (2,3). How ever, polyp tissue eosinophilia is an entity independent of atopy (3).…”

“…They have the primary role in the perpetuation of chronic inflammation (2,3). How ever, polyp tissue eosinophilia is an entity independent of atopy (3). In non-atopic asthma, polyps are diagnosed more frequently, in about 10-15% patients (2).…”

“…In the North America region, Randolph et al (21) found that TNF-α gene promoter region allele frequency did not affect asthma formation, whereas Witte et al (22) found the A allele to be a risk factor. The different results in the Turkish population (7,8, and our study) can be explained by genetic variations in different regions of the country, patient selection criteria, and differences in study design. Moreover, the effect of allelic frequencies and genotypes of the TNF-α gene promoter region on the transcription of TNF-α is not clear.…”

“…Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these pro-inflammatory mediators have been studied for genetic susceptibility to NP development, but the literature findings regarding the dominant genotype or allele causing NP formation are conflicting. Some authors claim that the TNF-α GA polymorphism in the -308 promoter region is a risk factor for NP development, whereas others have found that the A allele frequency is a risk factor (7)(8)(9). Some authors have found no relationship between the TNF-α GA polymorphism and NP development (4,10).…”

“…Polyp tissue includes mixed inflammatory cells, of which eosinophils are the most dominant. They have the primary role in the perpetuation of chronic inflammation [2,3]. It has been suggested that an ineffective local Th1-based immune response in these patients is associated with increased Th2-cytokine-based activity, which contributes to a chronic infection as well as to an increased presence of eosinophils, which then lead to further polyp formation [4].…”
