An increasing number of studies have shown that an inflammatory process is part of Parkinson's disease (PD) brain pathology. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a multifunctional cytokine and is considered to contribute to several inflammatory diseases. Recently, we detected an associated risk in a subgroup of PD patients with a disease onset < 50 years and a C to T transition in the IL-1alpha promoter (-889). One-hundred-seventy-six German PD patients (42.1 +/- 6.4 years; 42.4% male) and 170 unrelated age-matched control individuals (40.4 +/- 8.7 years; 57.6% male) were investigated for the presence of the IL-1alpha (-889C/T) polymorphism. No significant difference in the allelic distribution of the analyzed IL-1alpha polymorphism has been found between PD and controls. We conclude that the C/T polymorphism in the IL-1alpha promoter region at -889 does not increase the risk to develop PD.
越来越多的研究表明,炎症过程是帕金森病(PD)脑病理学的一部分。白细胞介素-1(IL-1)是一种多功能细胞因子,被认为与多种炎症性疾病有关。最近,我们在疾病发作年龄<50岁且IL-1α启动子(-889)存在C到T转换的PD患者亚组中检测到一种相关风险。对176名德国PD患者(42.1±6.4岁;42.4%为男性)和170名年龄匹配的无关对照个体(40.4±8.7岁;57.6%为男性)进行了IL-1α(-889C/T)多态性检测。在PD患者和对照之间,所分析的IL-1α多态性的等位基因分布没有发现显著差异。我们得出结论,-889处IL-1α启动子区域的C/T多态性不会增加患PD的风险。
