Interleukin-6 (IL-6) encodes a cytokine protein, which causes inflammation, maintains immune homeostasis and plays an essential role in oral pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between IL-6 (- 174 and - 572) G/C promoter gene polymorphisms and risk of OSCC among Indians.
Single nucleotide polymorphism in IL-6 genes was genotyped in OSCC patients and healthy controls by PCR-RFLP method. Genotype and allele frequencies were analyzed by chi-square test and strength of associations by odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals.
Frequency distribution of IL-6 (- 174) G/C gene polymorphism was significantly associated with OSCC patients in comparison to healthy controls (OR: 0.541, CI: 0.356-0.822; p: 0.004. However, frequency of IL-6 (- 572) G/C gene polymorphism was not significantly associated with OSCC patients (p > 0.05).
The genotype GC and allele C of IL-6 (- 174) G/C gene polymorphism play a significant role in OSCC susceptibility.
白细胞介素-6(IL-6)编码一种细胞因子蛋白,该蛋白可引发炎症、维持免疫稳态并在口腔发病机制中起重要作用。本研究旨在评估印度人群中IL-6(-174和-572)G/C启动子基因多态性与口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)风险之间的关联。
采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法对OSCC患者和健康对照者的IL-6基因进行单核苷酸多态性基因分型。通过卡方检验分析基因型和等位基因频率,并通过比值比及95%置信区间分析关联强度。
与健康对照相比,IL-6(-174)G/C基因多态性的频率分布与OSCC患者显著相关(比值比:0.541,置信区间:0.356 - 0.822;p:0.004)。然而,IL-6(-572)G/C基因多态性的频率与OSCC患者无显著关联(p > 0.05)。
IL-6(-174)G/C基因多态性的基因型GC和等位基因C在OSCC易感性中起重要作用。
