Genetic polymorphisms of interleukin-22 in patients with ulcerative colitis

Zusammenfassung: | Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a multifactorial and polygenic disease. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that belongs to the IL-10 family. Currently, some IL-22 polymorphisms have been associated with inflammatory processes such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis vulgaris, but there are no studies on UC.
The aim of this work was to study the frequency of polymorphisms of IL-22 in Mexican patients with UC.
We studied a total of 199 Mexican patients with confirmed UC and 697 healthy controls. All individuals were born in Mexico, at least three family generations earlier. A blood sample was obtained from the UC patients and healthy controls in order to perform DNA extraction and then to determine the frequency of IL-22 polymorphisms (rs2227485, rs2272478, rs2227491).
No statistical significance was found in the gene and genotype frequencies of three SNPs of IL-22 (rs2227485, rs2272478, rs2227491) between the UC patients and healthy controls. No association was found between those IL-22 SNPs and clinical features of UC.
There was no association between IL-22 SNPs (rs2227485, rs2272478, rs2227491) and the development of UC in a Mexican population.
La colitis ulcerosa (CU) es una enfermedad multifactorial y poligénica. La interleucina (IL) 22 es una citocina inmunomoduladora que pertenece a la familia de IL-10. Actualmente, algunos polimorfismos de la IL-22 han sido asociados con procesos inflamatorios, como artritis reumatoide y psoriasis vulgar, sin embargo, no hay estudios en pacientes con CU.
El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la frecuencia de polimorfismos de la IL-22 en pacientes con CU.
Se estudió a 199 pacientes mexicanos con diagnóstico confirmado de CU y 697 controles sanos. Todos los individuos de estudio nacieron en México, al igual que sus últimas 3 generaciones. Se obtuvieron muestras de sangre de cada individuo y se extrajo ADN; finalmente, se determinó la frecuencia de polimorfismos en la IL-22 (rs2227485, rs2272478, rs2227491).
No se encontró diferencia significativa en la frecuencia del gen y genotipo de los SNP en la IL-22 (rs2227485, rs2272478, rs2227491) entre pacientes con CU y controles sanos. No se encontró asociación entre los SNP de la IL-22 y las características clínicas de la CU.
Ausencia de asociación entre los SNP de la IL-22 (rs2227485, rs2272478, rs2227491) y el desarrollo de CU en población mexicana. |
