Interleukin (IL)-18 is involved in hepatitis B virus (HBV) clearance and augments antibodies against surface antigen of HBV (anti-HBsAg) production during DNA vaccination. The IL-18 -1297C>T (rs360719) polymorphism may modulate the IL-18 expression.
To determine the potential association of IL-18 -1297C>T polymorphism with development of anti-HBsAg in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
The frequency of IL-18 -1297C>T alleles and genotypes was identified by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism in 435 HD patients. Group 1 (n = 219) developed an anti-HBsAg titer >10 IU/l as a result of vaccination or HBV transmission. Group 2 (n = 216) included patients who did not develop an anti-HBsAg titer >10 IU/l in response to at least one full series of vaccination or HBV transmission. The significance of genotype frequency was tested using the Fisher exact test.
In group 1, the frequencies of -1297CC, -1297CT and -1297TT genotypes were 7.3, 39.7 and 53.0%, respectively, and in group 2 they were 1.9, 42.1 and 56.0%, respectively. The odds ratio for CC versus CT + TT was 0.239 (95% CI 0.079-0.728, p = 0.010), and for CC versus TT it was 0.240 (95% CI 0.078-0.738, p = 0.009).
In HD patients, the IL-18 -1297CC genotype may play a role in anti-HBsAg development in response to HBV surface antigen.
白细胞介素(IL)-18 参与乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)清除,并在 DNA 疫苗接种期间增强针对 HBV 表面抗原的抗体(抗-HBsAg)产生。IL-18-1297C>T(rs360719)多态性可能调节 IL-18 的表达。
确定白细胞介素-18-1297C>T 多态性与血液透析(HD)患者抗-HBsAg 发展的潜在关联。
通过聚合酶链反应限制片段长度多态性在 435 例 HD 患者中鉴定 IL-18-1297C>T 等位基因和基因型的频率。第 1 组(n=219)由于接种或 HBV 传播而产生抗-HBsAg 滴度>10IU/l。第 2 组(n=216)包括至少接受过一次完整系列接种或 HBV 传播但未产生抗-HBsAg 滴度>10IU/l 的患者。使用 Fisher 精确检验测试基因型频率的显著性。
第 1 组中-1297CC、-1297CT 和-1297TT 基因型的频率分别为 7.3%、39.7%和 53.0%,第 2 组分别为 1.9%、42.1%和 56.0%。CC 与 CT+TT 的比值比为 0.239(95%CI 0.079-0.728,p=0.010),CC 与 TT 的比值比为 0.240(95%CI 0.078-0.738,p=0.009)。
在 HD 患者中,IL-18-1297CC 基因型可能在对 HBV 表面抗原的抗-HBsAg 发展中起作用。
