ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an acute-phase protein that plays an important role in the inflammatory response, vascular inflammation, and atherosclerosis process. The study aimed to establish whether IL-6 gene polymorphisms and IL-6 concentrations are associated with premature coronary artery disease (pCAD) and cardiovascular risk factors.METHODS:
The IL-6 concentrations and the rs2069827, rs1800796, and rs1800795 IL-6 polymorphisms were determined in 1150 pCAD patients and 1083 healthy controls (coronary artery calcium equal to zero determined by tomography).RESULTS:
The IL-6 polymorphisms studied were not associated with pCAD, but they were associated with cardiovascular risk factors in patients and controls. In controls, under the dominant model, the rs1800795 C allele and the rs2069827 T allele were associated with a low risk of central obesity (OR = 0.401, p = 0.017 and OR = 0.577, p = 0.031, respectively), hypoalphalipoproteinemia (OR = 0.581, p = 0.027 and OR = 0.700, p = 0.014, respectively) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 0.575, p = 0.030 and OR = 0.728, p = 0.033, respectively). In pCAD, the rs1800795 C allele was associated with an increased risk of hypoalphalipoproteinemia (OR = 1.370, padditive = 0.025) and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations (OR = 1.491, padditive = 0.007). pCAD patients had significantly higher serum IL-6 concentrations compared to controls (p = 0.002). In the total population, individuals carrying the rs1800795 GC + CC genotypes had higher levels of IL-6 than carriers of the GG genotype (p = 0.025). In control individuals carrying the C allele (CG + CC), an inverse correlation was observed between IL-6 and HDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.003).CONCLUSIONS:
In summary, the IL-6 polymorphisms were not associated with pCAD, however, they were associated with cardiovascular risk factors in pCAD patients and healthy controls. Individuals carrying the rs1800795 GC + CC genotypes had higher levels of IL-6 than carriers of the GG genotype.Palavras-chave
