Abstract
Objective
Genetic polymorphisms of the angiogenesis, inflammatory cascade, or apoptosis genes can influence chronic complications in diabetic patients. Cytokine gene polymorphisms are considered vital in diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (DN) susceptibility. The present study evaluated the role of cytokine gene polymorphism in type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
Methods
A total number of 648 participants comprising 180 healthy individuals, 164 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without any complications, 148 individuals with diabetic nephropathy, and 156 with non-diabetic nephropathy were included in this study. The IL-6 (-634 C/G), IL-18 (-607 A/C), IL-4 (-590C/T), and IL-10 (-592 C/A) polymorphism were analyzed using the PCR-RFLP method, and their expression analysis was done using real-time PCR
Results
We found a significant difference in the genotype frequency of IL-6 and IL-10 in the diabetic nephropathy group compared to the control, whereas no significant difference was found in IL-18 and IL-4.
Conclusion
The IL-6 -634C/G and IL-10-592 C/A polymorphisms were found to be associated with diabetic nephropathy in the West Indian population. The higher transcript level of inflammatory cytokines in patient groups compared to the control group may suggest the essential role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries is the official journal of Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India. This is a peer reviewed journal and targets a readership consisting of clinicians, research workers, paramedical personnel, nutritionists and health care personnel working in the field of diabetes. Original research articles focusing on clinical and patient care issues including newer therapies and technologies as well as basic science issues in this field are considered for publication in the journal. Systematic reviews of interest to the above group of readers are also accepted.
