ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder which may heal with scarring. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) and interleukin 1 ß (IL-1ß) are considered as the main responsible proinflammatory mediators of acne pathogenesis. Oversecretion of these cytokines was found to be associated with TNF α-308 G>A and IL-1ß-511 CMETHODS:
Study subjects included 90 patients with acne vulgaris (31 males, 59 females; mean age 19.6 ± 3.7 years) and 30 healthy controls (11 males, 19 females; mean age 19.2 ± 5.1 years). Patients were sub-grouped on the basis of acne severity into mild, moderate, and severe acne groups and on the presence postacne scarring into scarring acne and nonscarring acne groups. Peripheral venous blood samples were obtained for performing real-time PCR analysis for detecting TNF α-308 and IL-1ß-511 genotypic variants.RESULTS:
Among patients, 21.7% (n = 26) had mild, 22.5% (n = 27) had moderate, 30.8% (n = 37) had severe, and 30% (n = 36) had scarring acne. Genotypic variants of TNF α-308 and IL-1ß-511 did not statistically differ between acne patients and controls (P values .245 and .466). When compared in terms of acne severity and the presence of postacne scarring, no statistical significance was observed regarding frequencies of genotypic variants related to the both TNF α-308 and IL-1ß polymorphisms (P > .05).CONCLUSION:
TNF α-308 and IL-1ß polymorphic variants are not associated with acne and postacne scarring susceptibility and acne severity.Palavras-chave
