Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the association between inflammatory cytokines and the risk of gastric cancer (GC).
Materials and methods: We conducted a case-cohort study using Korean National Cancer Center Community (KNCCC) cohort data to investigate the associations between pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and GC risk in the Korean general population (GC cases: n=159, subcohort: n=822). Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured using Quantikine® ELISA and analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model.
Results: Compared to those with the lowest serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels, the risk of GC significantly increased in the second (HR: 3.48 [1.73-6.99]), third (HR: 3.74 [1.91-7.29], and fourth quartiles (HR: 3.79 [1.93-7.48]). Elevated levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) (HR: 1.57 [1.12-2.21]) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) (HR: 2.49 [1.73-3.58]) were also associated with an increased risk of GC.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate associations between pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and IFN-γ) and the risk of GC, suggesting that regulating these cytokine levels may aid in GC prevention.
