We herein sought to investigate the implications of plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT-1), microRNA-200c (miR-200c), signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT-4), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as well as how they correlated with creatinine, C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity to identify biomarkers able to the early prognosis and diagnosis of COVID-19. Our study included a total of 105 infected COVID-19 patients and 35 healthy subjects as controls. Individuals with COVID-19 showed a significant increase in CRP, creatinine, and LDH activity. In addition, COVID-19 patients exhibited significantly higher levels of IL-6. These patients also demonstrated notably elevated expressions of miR-200c and PVT-1. The expression level of STAT4 decreased in the COVID-19 patients, and this decrease was negatively correlated with creatinine and LDH activity. The levels of miR-200c and PVT-1 expressions, and their connections with IL-6 and STAT4 levels, increased significantly with the severity of COVID-19 cases. In addition, receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that PVT-1 and miR-200c could be reliable biomarkers for determining the severity of COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":16261,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research","volume":" ","pages":"510-517"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142289344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prolonged exposure to antiretroviral therapy has been associated with developing lipodystrophies that modify lipoprotein metabolism and inflammatory markers such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are mediators of the immune response. The study aimed to associate TNF-α and IL-6 levels with their polymorphisms and metabolic alterations in PLIHV. We hypothesized that TNF-α and IL-6 levels and their polymorphisms are associated with metabolic alterations. In total, 185 PLHIV and 51 HIV-negative people were included. Biochemical parameters were determined by colorimetric assay, cytokine levels by immunoassay, and allelic discrimination by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A correlation was found between TNF-α levels and the variables cholesterol (r = -0.171, P = 0.020) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (r = -0.245, P = 0.001). There are associations between HDL levels (P = 0.011) and GG genotype of rs1800629. The results suggest a metabolic alteration related to the constant immune response, especially the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. It was observed that genetic factors may influence metabolism alteration, mainly in lipids.","PeriodicalId":16261,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research","volume":" ","pages":"453-460"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141476791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interleukin-22 (IL-22) was reported to help IFN-λ control rotavirus infection in the intestinal epithelium of mice either by aiding in the induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) or by increasing cell proliferation thereby clearing virally infected cells. We investigated whether IL-22 and IFN-λs exhibit similar synergistic effects in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) models. Our results showed that co-treatment of IL-22 and IFN-λ induced more phosphorylation of STAT1 than either cytokine used alone. However, this increased STAT1 activation did not translate to increased ISGs production or antiviral protection. Transcriptomics analysis revealed that despite sharing a common subunit (IL-10Rb) within their heterodimeric receptors and activating similar STATs, the signaling generated by IL-22 and IFN-λs is independent, with IFN-λ signaling inducing ISGs and IL-22 signaling inducing cell proliferation genes. Using human intestinal organoids, we confirmed that IL-22 increased the size of the organoids through increased cell proliferation and expression of the stem cell marker (OLFM4). These findings suggest that in human intestinal cells, IFN-λs and IL-22 act independently to clear virus infections. IFN-λs induce ISGs to control virus replication and spread, whereas IL-22 increases cell proliferation to eliminate infected cells and repair the damage epithelium. Although these two cytokines do not act synergistically, each plays a key function in the protection of human IECs.","PeriodicalId":16261,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research","volume":" ","pages":"438-452"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141792654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is affected by multiple factors including genetic ones. In the current study, we assessed the relationship between interleukin-17 (IL-17) genotypes and the occurrence of BA among Egyptian children. This case-control study included 100 participants. Group I (the control group) comprised 50 healthy subjects. Group II (the asthmatic group) comprised 50 subjects diagnosed with atopic asthma according to the Global Initiative for Asthma. Measurement of serum Ig E and eosinophilic count was performed. Detection of single nucleotide polymorphism rs2275913 of IL-17 gene by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction was conducted. GA and AA genotypes were more frequent in the asthmatic group compared to the control group (P = 0.03 and 0.01, respectively). Subjects carrying GA and AA genotypes were more susceptible to have asthma [odds ratio (OR) = 2.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.14-9.94, P = 0.03; OR = 7.78, 95% CI = 1.59-38.3, P = 0.01, respectively]. The A allele was higher in the asthmatic group (33%) compared to the control group (10%). A allele carriers were more susceptible to have asthma (OR = 4.43, 95% CI = 2.04-9.82 and P < 0.001). Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and eosinophil percentages were higher among the carriers of GA and AA genotypes when compared with the GG genotype. All pulmonary function tests were significantly lower among carriers of AA genotype compared with GG genotype. An A allele carrier, AA genotype, increased IgE level, and eosinophil level were significant predictors for occurrence of asthma (P = 0.01, 0.02, 0.004, and 0.01). In conclusion, AA genotype carriers and A allele carriers of the IL-17 gene are more likely to have asthma compared with controls.","PeriodicalId":16261,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interferon and Cytokine Research","volume":" ","pages":"461-466"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141788318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
