RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The number of cases of irritable bowel syndrome is growing worldwide, in which adenomatous polyps can develop as a result of microinflammation of the colonic epithelium. Our study was aimed at the identification of the possible effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms on the risk of the development of irritable bowel syndrome-related colonic adenomatous polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 187 irritable bowel syndrome patients. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms were investigated by the polymerase chain reaction method and DNA was extracted with the phenol-chloroform: interleukin-1ß gene-31C/T (rs1143627), -511C/T (rs16944); interleukin-6 gene-174G/C (rs1800795); interleukin-10 gene-592C/A (rs1800872), -819T/C (rs1800871), -1082A/G (rs1800896); Toll-like receptor-2 gene Arg753Gln (rs5743708); Toll-like receptor-4 gene Thr399ile (rs4986791), Asp299Gly (rs4986790); and metalloproteinase-9 gene-8202A/G (rs11697325). The study of polymorphic loci was checked for compliance with the Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium using Fisher's exact test along with the analyses of the frequency of alleles and the genotypes. RESULTS: The association of diseases with G allele Toll-like receptor-2 gene Arg753Gln (rs5743708) was revealed in irritable bowel syndrome patients with adenomatous polyps of the colon (P < .0006) and AG single-nucleotide polymorphisms s of Toll-like receptor-2 gene (χ2 = 12.78, P < .002); A allele had a protective effect. The AG genotype metalloproteinase-9 gene-8202A/G (rs11697325) polymorphism in irritable bowel syndrome patients with adenomatous polyps of the colon had a protective effect (P < .05). AA genotype interleukin-10 gene-1082A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism in the irritable bowel syndrome patient (χ2 = 33.97, 4.0E-8) can be considered as the risk for adenomatous polyps of the colon in irritable bowel syndrome. CONCLUSION: G allele Toll-like receptor-2 gene Arg753Gln (rs5743708) and AA genotype interleukin-10 gene-1082A/G (rs1800896) polymorphisms can be the marker of the emergence of adenomatous polyps of the colon concomitant with irritable bowel syndrome.
