Abstract
Introduction
The pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications has been previously linked to elevated levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6); IL-6 triggers intracellular pathways through interaction with the IL-6 receptor (IL-6R). This study aimed to determine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) IL-6 −597G/A (rs1800797), −572G/C (rs1800796), −174G/C (rs1800795), its receptor (IL-6R) Asp358Ala (+48892A/C, rs2228145) and DM or its complications in the Czech population.
Materials and Methods
In total, 669 subjects participated in this case-control study, including 167 controls, 119 patients with type 1 DM (T1DM), and 383 patients with type 2 DM (T2DM). The subjects were monitored for glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, lipid profile, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and common complications, such as diabetic nephropathy (DN), retinopathy (DR), (poly)neuropathy (DPN), and periodontitis (P).
Results
Frequencies of the IL-6 and IL-6R alleles or genotypes, and IL-6 haplotypes were similar between the controls and the patients with T1DM or T2DM (P > 0.05). However, lower values of GFR were observed in diabetic patients with IL-6 −174CC homozygotes compared to other (CG and GG) genotypes (P ≤ 0.05). In addition, the IL-6R Asp358Ala variant was associated with DN (P = 0.031, OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.05–2.89). After subclassification according to the type of DM, the significant association of the IL-6R polymorphism with DN was only found in T1DM (P = 0.013, OR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.25–6.71).
Conclusions
This study implies a significant relationship between the IL-6R Asp358Ala polymorphism and DN in Czech T1DM patients.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
