Association of IL-10 and TGF-beta cytokine gene polymorphisms with autoimmune hepatitis.
Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology 2018 August 22
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic immune-mediated liver injury caused by dysregulated immune response to liver antigens. Genetic susceptibility is affected by multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms in immune-related genes. There are few reports on the association of TGF-β and IL-10 genetic variants with autoimmune hepatitis.
METHODS: Allele frequency and genotype status of IL-10 -1082, -819, -592 and TGF-β +869 and +915 polymorphisms were investigated in 57 unrelated patients with autoimmune hepatitis and 140 healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers.
RESULTS: IL-10 -592 and -819 allele frequencies and genotypes were not associated with autoimmune hepatitis in our population, while IL-10 -1082 genotypes were. IL-10 -1082/-819/-592 "high-producing" haplotype GCC was significantly less frequent in patients. TGF-β +869 "high-producing" allele C and genotype CC were significantly more in autoimmune hepatitis, compared to controls; whereas, TGF-β +915 "low-producing" allele C and genotype CC were significantly more in autoimmune hepatitis compared to control. TGF-β +869/+915 haplotype TG was significantly less frequent in patients while CC haplotype was significantly more frequently observed in patients.
CONCLUSION: We identified a significant association between IL-10 -1082/-819 and TGF-β +869/+915 genotypes and haplotypes with autoimmune hepatitis in Iranians.
