RESUMO

Chagas disease is one of the parasitic infections with the greatest socio-economic impact in Latin America. In Venezuela, epidemiological data has shown different sources of infection, such as the vectorial route by oral transmission. Given the importance of the TLR4 gene in the innate immune response triggered by infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, this work analyses the role of TLR4 polymorphisms and its possible effect on cytokine expression. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of patients from the main outbreak of oral Chagas disease in Venezuela (n = 90), as well as from a group of healthy individuals (n = 183). Subsequently, peripheral blood was also extracted from individuals with different TLR4 haplotypes and then stimulated with LPS to determine the cytokine concentration by ELISA. The internalization of TLR4 was evaluated by flow cytometry. In comparison to healthy individuals, the analysis showed a significantly increased frequency of the Asp/Gly genotype in symptomatic patients. Also, observed a correlation of the 299/399 haplotype with a significant decrease in cytokine concentration and disease severity. Finally, the parasites' trypomastigotes cause the internalization or negative regulation of TLR4. The variants of TLR4 associated with low production of cytokines may be a risk factor for chronicity and severity (cardiac involvement) in oral vectorial Chagas disease.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: Examinar si los polimorfismos de los genes IL6, TNFA e IL10 representan un marcador de riesgo de infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) y analizar su correlación con los factores de riesgo, la edad de ocurrencia y el tipo de IAM. Método: Estudio de asociación que incluyó 310 individuos venezolanos, no relacionados, agrupados en 190 pacientes con IAM y 120 controles con o sin factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Los polimorfismos IL6-174 G/C (rs1800795), TNFA-308 G/A (rs1800629) e IL10-1082 A/G (rs1800896), -819 C/T (rs1800871) y -592 C/A (rs1800872) se determinaron utilizando la técnica reacción en cadena de la polimerasa con iniciadores de secuencias específicas. Resultados: La comparación de frecuencias genotípicas y alélicas, mediante el análisis de regresión logística ajustado para los factores de riesgo, mostró una frecuencia significativamente incrementada de la combinación de genotipos G/G-A/A de la variante TNFA-308 G/A (odds ratio [OR]: 3.8; p = 0.00007), GG/-C/C de la variante IL6-174 G/C (OR: 2.3; p = 0.009), A/G-G/G de la variante IL10-1082 A/G (OR: 3.8; p = 0.00001) y del haplotipo GCC de IL10 (OR: 3.71; p = 0.0053) en los pacientes con IAM con respecto a los controles. Se observaron interacciones entre los polimorfismos IL10-1082 A/G y TNFA-308 G/A e hipertensión. Conclusiones: La asociación de las variantes de los genes TNFA, IL6 e IL10 con IAM sugiere que el desbalance en la producción de citocinas promueve un proceso inflamatorio exacerbado, apoyando el papel fundamental de la inflamación en todas las etapas del proceso aterosclerótico.


Abstract Objective: To examine whether the polymorphisms of the IL6, TNFA and IL10 genes represent a risk marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to analyze their correlation with risk factors, age of occurrence and type of AMI. Method: Association study that included 310 unrelated Venezuelan individuals, grouped in 190 patients with AMI and 120 controls with or without cardiovascular risk factors. The IL6-174 G/C (rs1800795), TNFA -308 G/A (rs1800629), and IL10-1082 A/G (rs1800896), -819 C/T (rs1800871) and -592 C/A (rs1800872) polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction technique with sequence-specific primers. Results: Comparison of genotypic and allelic frequencies, using adjusted logistic regression analysis for risk factors, showed a significantly increased frequency of the genotype combination G/G-A/A of TNFA-308 G/A (odds ratio [OR]: 3.8; p = 0.00007), GG/-C/C of IL6-174 G/C (OR: 2.3; p = 0.009), A/G-G/G of IL10-1082 A/G (OR: 3.8; p = 0.00001) and the GCC haplotype of IL10 (OR: 3.71; p = 0.0053) in infarcted patients compared to controls. Interactions between the IL10-1082 A/G and TNFA-308 G/A polymorphisms and hypertension were observed. Conclusions: The association of the variants of the TNFA, IL6 and IL10 genes with AMI suggest that the imbalance in the production of cytokines promotes an exacerbated inflammatory process, supporting the fundamental role of inflammation in all stages of the atherosclerotic process.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto de los polimorfismos de los genes TNFA e IL10 y su asociación con el fenotipo clínico de la artritis psoriásica (APs). Materiales y métodos: Se incluyó a 104 individuos venezolanos, no relacionados, agrupados en 52 pacientes con APs, que reunieron los criterios CASPAR, y 52 individuos sanos, sin antecedentes familiares de psoriasis. Los polimorfismos de los genes TNFA e IL10 se determinaron por PCR-SSP. Resultados: El genotipo GA y alelo A del polimorfismo TNFA-238G/A parecen conferir protección contra el desarrollo de APs (OR: 0,31, IC del 95%: 0,92 -1,05, p: 0,02). El genotipo GA del polimorfismo TNFA-308G/A está asociado con una edad de inicio de APs tardía (GA = 60 ± 13,17 arios vs. GG = 43,55 ± 14,29 años; p = 0,002) y el genotipo GG del polimorfismo IL10-1082A/G con un intervalo mayor entre el inicio de la psoriasis y el desarrollo de la APs (GG = 27,4 ± 24,11 años, GA = 5,47 ± 7,23 años, AA = 7,86 ± 8,51 años, p = 0,001). Los genotipos CC de IL10-819 C/T e IL10-592 C/A confieren riesgo de daño a las articulaciones interfalángicas distales (OR: 4,79, p=0,026). Conclusiones: El polimorfismo TNFA-238G/A desempeña un papel importante en el desarrollo de la APs en mestizos venezolanos. Asimismo, los polimorfismos TNFA-308G/A, IL10-1082A/G, -819C/T y -592C/A pueden modificar la expresión clínica de la APs.


ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of polymorphisms of TNF-alpha (TNFA) and IL10 genes and their association with clinical phenotypes of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Materials and methods: The study included 104 unrelated Venezuelan individuals, grouped into 52 patients with PsA, who fulfilled the CASPAR criteria, and 52 healthy individuals with no family history of psoriasis. The polymorphisms of the TNFA and IL10 genes were determined by Single Specific Primer-Polymerase Chain Reaction (SSP-PCR). Results: The GA genotype and A allele of the TNFA-238G/A polymorphism appears to confer protection against the development of PsA (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.92 -1.05, P=.02). The GA genotype of the TNFA-308G/A polymorphism is associated with a late onset age of PsA (GA = 60± 13.17 years vs. GG = 43.55 ± 14.29 years, P=.002), and the GG genotype of the IL10 -1082A/G polymorphism with a longer time interval between the onset of psoriasis and the development of PsA (GG = 27.4±24.11 years, GA = 5.47±7.23 years, AA=7.86±8.51 years, P=.001). The CC genotypes of IL10-819 C/T and IL10-592 C/A confers risk of damage to distal interphalangeal joints (OR: 4.79, P=.026) Conclusions: The TNFA-238G/A polymorphism plays an important role in the development of PsA in mixed-race Venezuelans. Likewise, TNFA-308 G/A, IL10 -1082 A/G, -819C/T, -592C/A polymorphisms may modify the clinical expression of PsA.
