ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to identify polymorphic forms of the nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1 (NR3C1) and transforming growth factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) genes and evaluate their impact on the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-5 and IL15 in asthma. The study was conducted on a control group consisting of 91 people (54 women and 37 men). The patient group consisted of 130 participants (86 women and 44 men). Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCRRFLP) and PCRhigh resolution melting (HRM) methods. Interleukin expression was measured by reverse transcriptionquantitative polymerase chain reaction. The frequency of the polymorphic forms in the analyzed group were observed to be Tth111I (rs10052957) controls AA 0.0440, AG 0.5714, GG 0.3846, patients AA 0.1538/AG 0.4692, GG 0.3769; ER22/23EK (rs6189 /rs6190) controls AG 0.0556, GG 0.9444, patients AG 0.0385, GG 0.9615; N363S (rs6195) controls AA 0.6444, AG 0.2667, GG 0.0889, patients AA 0.7846, AG 0.1385, GG 0.0769; BclI (rs41423247) controls CC 0.0879, CG 0.5604, GG 0.3516, patients CC 0.1008, CG 0.5736, GG 0.3256; C509T (rs1800469) controls TT 0.0805, CT 0.6322, CC 0.2874, patients TT 0.1102, CT 0.5669, CC 0.3228. The results indicated that the C509T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the TGF-ß1 gene contributed to an increase in the IL5 mRNA expression levels. The GG genotype of the N363S SNP of the NR3C1 gene was observed to result in an increase in the expression levels of IL15. The present study indicated that the selected SNPs of the NR3C1 and TGFß1 genes demonstrate a regulatory effect on the expression of IL5 and IL15. Therefore, genetic variation affects inflammation in asthma and the clinical course of the disease.
