Previous epidemiological studies have presented conflicting evidence regarding associations between interleukin-1 (IL-1) polymorphisms and sepsis susceptibility. We have performed a meta-analysis to evaluate possible associations between IL-1 polymorphisms and sepsis risk.
Eligible literature was retrieved from PubMed, Embase and Web of Knowledge databases until Jun 15, 2013. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random-effects model in the overall and subgroup analysis based on ethnicity, sepsis severity and quality score.
Eighteen studies addressing five IL-1 polymorphisms were included in this meta-analysis. For IL-1A-889 (rs1800587) polymorphism, significant association was observed in overall comparison for allelic effect (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.01-2.13, P = 0.04). There were no significant associations between either IL-1B-511 (rs16944) or IL-1B-31 (rs1143627) and sepsis susceptibility in overall or subgroup analyses. For IL-1B + 3594 (rs143634) polymorphism, genotype TT decreased sepsis risk in overall analysis (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.36-0.97, P = 0.04), as well as in Caucasian (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.34-0.95, P = 0.03) and sepsis (OR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.31-0.97, P = 0.04) subgroup analysis. For IL-1RN VNTR polymorphism, significant association was observed in overall comparison for allelic effect (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.01-1.95, P = 0.04). Furthermore, the effect sizes of IL-1RN VNTR on sepsis risk increased with disease severity (septic shock OR > severe sepsis OR > sepsis OR).
Our meta-analysis indicated that IL-1A-889, IL-1B + 3954 and IL-1RN VNTR might be associated with sepsis susceptibility. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and from homogenous populations would be necessary to validate these findings.
先前的流行病学研究对白细胞介素-1(IL-1)多态性与脓毒症易感性之间的关联提供了相互矛盾的证据。我们进行了荟萃分析,以评估 IL-1 多态性与脓毒症风险之间的可能关联。
从 PubMed、Embase 和 Web of Knowledge 数据库中检索到符合条件的文献,检索时间截至 2013 年 6 月 15 日。根据种族、脓毒症严重程度和质量评分,使用随机效应模型对总体和亚组分析中 IL-1 多态性与脓毒症风险的合并优势比(OR)和 95%置信区间(CI)进行计算。
该荟萃分析共纳入了 18 项研究,涉及 5 种 IL-1 多态性。对于 IL-1A-889(rs1800587)多态性,等位基因效应的总体比较存在显著关联(OR = 1.47,95%CI = 1.01-2.13,P = 0.04)。IL-1B-511(rs16944)或 IL-1B-31(rs1143627)与脓毒症易感性之间在总体或亚组分析中均无显著关联。对于 IL-1B+3594(rs143634)多态性,基因型 TT 降低了总体分析中的脓毒症风险(OR = 0.59,95%CI = 0.36-0.97,P = 0.04),以及在白种人(OR = 0.57,95%CI = 0.34-0.95,P = 0.03)和脓毒症(OR = 0.55,95%CI = 0.31-0.97,P = 0.04)亚组分析中。对于 IL-1RN VNTR 多态性,等位基因效应的总体比较存在显著关联(OR = 1.40,95%CI = 1.01-1.95,P = 0.04)。此外,IL-1RN VNTR 对脓毒症风险的影响大小随着疾病严重程度的增加而增加(脓毒性休克 OR > 严重脓毒症 OR > 脓毒症 OR)。
本荟萃分析表明,IL-1A-889、IL-1B+3954 和 IL-1RN VNTR 可能与脓毒症易感性相关。然而,需要更大样本量和来自同质人群的进一步研究来验证这些发现。
