Long non-coding RNA MEG3 rs7158663 polymorphism confers susceptibility to the development of sepsis and is associated with sepsis-induced inflammatory responses
Background
The polymorphism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can influence the susceptibility of patients to certain diseases.
Objectives
This study compared the genotype distribution of lncRNA MEG3 rs7158663 polymorphism in sepsis patients and controls. Furthermore, it elaborated on the relationship between rs7158663 and prognosis as well as the inflammatory response of the patients.
Materials and methods
350 sepsis patients and 320 controls were incorporated to conduct genotyping of the rs7158663 locus and to measure the serum MEG3 levels. The connection between genotypes and prognosis was appraised via the construction of K-M curves. The levels of serum inflammatory factors were measured with ELISA.
Results
Rs7158663 GG genotype occurred more frequently in sepsis patients than the control group, whereas the frequencies of the GA and AA genotypes were lower in the former. MEG3 rs7158663 GA and AA genotypes were non-susceptible genotypes for sepsis, and a similar genetic association was observed in the dominant model. Stratified analysis indicated that the genetic association between rs7158663 and sepsis was more significant in cases with non-smoking, non-drinking, older age, and low BMI. MEG3 rs7158663 GG genotype carriers had increased MEG3, excessive release of inflammatory factors, and poor prognosis in patients with sepsis.
Conclusion
MEG3 rs7158663 GG genotype may be a susceptibility genotype for sepsis and is associated with patients' poor prognosis. It might be related to rs7158663-mediated increase of MEG3 expression and excessive release of inflammatory cytokines.
期刊介绍:
The journal Cytokine has an open access mirror journal Cytokine: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
* Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association studies, pathobiology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, new cytokines, and chemokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their mechanisms of actions, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.
We will publish 3 major types of manuscripts:
1) Original manuscripts describing research results.
2) Basic and clinical reviews describing cytokine actions and regulation.
3) Short commentaries/perspectives on recently published aspects of cytokines, pathogenesis and clinical results.
