The CD14 (−159 C/T) SNP is associated with sCD14 levels and allergic asthma, but not with CD14 expression on monocytes

Abstract: LPS-ligation to CD14/TLR-4 on monocytes/macrophages triggers the production of IL-12-family cytokines. IL12/18 promote TH1-differentiation, counteracting the TH2-driven asthma. Therefore, CD14 modulation could alter the TH2-differentiation and should be taken into account when studying asthma. To analyse the alteration in CD14 levels and its association with CD14 (−159 C/T) SNP (rs2569190) in Caucasian adults with stable allergic asthma, we performed a cross-sectional study (277 healthy subjects vs. 277 patien… Show more

“…Mutants displayed higher sCD14 compared to wild type (CC), which corroborates with earlier observations. 11,12,31 A similar observation was also noted for plasma levels of TNF-α and IFN-α. The transition polymorphism (C > T) at the promoter region decreases Sp protein binding efficiency and enhances transcription levels of CD14, leading to a higher level of sCD14.…”

“…IFN-γ is an essential cytokine for the control of mycobacterial infection [36], and for that reason it is possible to hypothesize that rs2569190 may result in an environment that favors development of TB. Interestingly, other studies also related this SNP with occurrence of ischemic stroke [37], cardiovascular disease [38] and asthma [39], indicating that these polymorphisms could actually lead to a more profound alteration in immune responses that may affect a large number of clinical conditions.…”

“…Soluble CD14 (sCD14) is a pattern recognition receptor and acts as a co-receptor of TLR-4 to bind microbial components to endothelial and epithelial cells [99]. The risk allele T of rs2569190 for pneumococcal disease susceptibility in our meta-analysis, is associated with high sCD14 levels in expression studies [100, 101]. Our findings correspond with other studies showing the T allele is associated with an increased occurrence of sepsis and increased serum sCD14 levels in patients with risk genotypes [102] [103].…”
