Healthcare workers constitute a population at high risk for HBV infection. Efficient vaccination options are available; however, the individual response to HBV vaccination may vary widely between subjects, potentially due to cytokine profiles and genetic variations. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between IL-17 and IL-22 gene polymorphisms versus non- and low-responsiveness to HBV vaccination in healthcare workers.
We selected the following IL-17 and IL-22 polymorphisms: rs4711998 (A/G) from IL-17 and rs2227501 (A/T), rs2227503 (A/G), rs1026786 (A/G) from IL-22 sequences genes. These were determined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphisms.
The IL-17 rs4711998 GG genotype had a significantly lower frequency in non-responders compared to low-responders (p=0.025). However, we did not identify a relationship between IL-22 rs1026780, rs2227501 and rs2227503 genotypes and the anti-HBs response following HBV vaccination.
These data suggest that genetic variation in rs4711998 polymorphisms in the IL-17 cytokine may influence vaccine-induced immune responses to HBV vaccine in healthcare workers.
医护人员是感染乙肝病毒(HBV)的高危人群。目前有有效的疫苗接种方案;然而,个体对HBV疫苗接种的反应在受试者之间可能差异很大,这可能是由于细胞因子谱和基因变异所致。在本研究中,我们调查了医护人员中白细胞介素-17(IL-17)和白细胞介素-22(IL-22)基因多态性与对HBV疫苗接种无反应和低反应之间的关系。
我们选择了以下IL-17和IL-22多态性:IL-17的rs4711998(A/G)以及IL-22序列基因的rs2227501(A/T)、rs2227503(A/G)、rs1026786(A/G)。这些通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性来确定。
与低反应者相比,无反应者中IL-17 rs4711998 GG基因型的频率显著更低(p = 0.025)。然而,我们未发现IL-22 rs1026780、rs2227501和rs2227503基因型与HBV疫苗接种后的抗-HBs反应之间存在关联。
这些数据表明,IL-17细胞因子中rs4711998多态性的基因变异可能影响医护人员对HBV疫苗的疫苗诱导免疫反应。
