Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Cytokine gene variations are contributory factors in inflammatory pathology. Allele frequencies of interleukin (IL)-1 cluster genes [IL-1A(-889), IL-1B(-511), IL-1B(+3953), IL-1RN Intron 2 VNTR] and tissue necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha gene [TNFA(-308)] were measured in healthy blood donors (healthy control subjects), patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries (patient con...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene VNTR polymorphism is associated with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the atherosclerosis of coronary arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Cytokine gene variations such as those associated with the IL1 family are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between IL1 family polymorphisms (I...
متن کاملInfluence of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism on disease.
Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is a naturally occurring competitive inhibitor of interleukin-1 (IL-1)-induced proinflammatory activity. The IL-1RA gene is polymorphic, resulting in quantitative differences in both IL-1RA and IL-1beta production. Persons homozygous for allele 2 of the IL-1RA gene (IL1RN*2) have a more prolonged and more severe proinflammatory immune response than per...
متن کاملPrognostic value of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism and cytomegalovirus seroprevalence in patients with coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammatory stimuli such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and various genetic polymorphisms determining the inflammatory response are assumed to be important risk factors in atherosclerosis. We investigated whether patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and homozygous for allele 2 of the interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) gene and seropositive for CMV r...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphism in epithelial ovarian cancer.
The development of malignant tumors is constituted by different immunological components. Interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (RA) is known to be critically involved in the carcinogenesis of different malignant solid tumors. Polymorphism of a specific gene can have an important effect on gene transcription, the stability of the mRNA, or the quantity and activity of the resulting protein. In ...
