Abstract

Objective: Observational studies suggest a link between hernia and inflammatory cytokines, but randomized trials are limited by ethical and cost constraints. In this study, we used bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship between inflammatory cytokines and five types of hernia, aiming to inform preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Methods: We selected 41 inflammatory factors and five types of hernia as instrumental variables, using data from the IEU Open GWAS database including individuals of European descent. The primary analysis used the inverse variance weighted method with false discovery rate (FDR) adjustment. Additional MR methods and sensitivity analyses ensured robustness. Reverse MR was used to assess potential reverse causality.

Results: After FDR adjustment, stem cell growth factor beta (SCGFb) was causally associated with diaphragmatic hernia (odds ratio = 0.884, 95% confidence interval: 0.819-0.955). Reverse MR indicated that diaphragmatic hernia may increase interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP10) and monokine induced by interferon-gamma (MIG), and ventral hernia may elevate macrophage inflammatory protein-1b (MIP1b). Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness.

Conclusion: SCGFb may protect against diaphragmatic hernia, and IP10, MIG, and MIP1b are involved in hernia development, suggesting the therapeutic potential of targeting these cytokines. Further studies are needed.

目的:观察性研究表明,疝气与炎性细胞因子之间存在联系,但随机试验受到伦理和成本的限制。在本研究中,我们采用双向孟德尔随机法(MR)研究了炎性细胞因子与五种类型疝气之间的因果关系,旨在为预防和治疗策略提供参考:我们从包括欧洲后裔在内的 IEU Open GWAS 数据库中选取了 41 种炎症因子和五种疝气类型作为工具变量。主要分析采用了反方差加权法,并进行了错误发现率(FDR)调整。附加的 MR 方法和敏感性分析确保了稳健性。反向 MR 用于评估潜在的反向因果关系:经FDR调整后,干细胞生长因子β(SCGFb)与膈疝存在因果关系(几率比=0.884,95%置信区间:0.819-0.955)。反向 MR 显示,膈疝可能会增加γ干扰素诱导蛋白 10(IP10)和γ干扰素诱导单克隆(MIG),而腹侧疝可能会增加巨噬细胞炎症蛋白-1b(MIP1b)。敏感性分析证实了这一结果的稳健性:结论:SCGFb 可预防膈疝,IP10、MIG 和 MIP1b 参与了疝的形成,这表明靶向这些细胞因子具有治疗潜力。还需要进一步研究。
