The association of IL-10-1082G/A gene polymorphism with the risk of acute lung injury/respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/RDS): A meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND

Several records have reported that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the interleukin 10 (IL-10)-1082G/A locus affects the risk of acute lung injury/respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/RDS), but the exact association between them has not been elucidated.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review aims to elucidate the relationship between SNP at the IL-10-1082G/A locus and susceptibility to ALI/RDS by the method of meta-analysis, to identify the early warning indicators of ALI/RDS.

METHODS

Studies on IL-10-1082G/A SNP associated with ALI/RDS were obtained by thorough retrieval of four English databases from each database construction to April 1, 2022. We processed the data using Stata 15.0 software.

RESULTS

Eight eligible records were entered into this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis demonstrated that SNP at the IL-10-1082G/A locus contributed to the risk of ALI/RDS in the allelic (G vs. A: OR= 0.74, 95%CI: 0.55∼0.98) and recessive gene models (Genotype GG vs. GA+AA: OR= 0.57, 95%CI: 0.35∼0.93). The subgroup analysis based on case type showed that SNP at IL-10-1082G/A locus contributed to the risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) under all the gene models (Allele G vs. A: OR= 0.45, 95%CI: 0.29∼0.72; Genotype GG+GA vs. AA: OR= 0.36, 95%CI: 0.22∼0.58; Genotype GG vs. GA+AA: OR= 0.30, 95%CI: 0.09∼0.97; Genotype GA vs. AA: OR= 0.44, 95%CI: 0.27∼0.73), except the homozygous model. However, it was not found that SNP at the IL-10-1082G/A locus contributed to ALI or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Moreover, the risk of ALI/RDS in Asia was associated with the IL-10-1082G/A locus in the allelic, recessive, and heterozygous models, while we did not observe this association across the Caucasian populations.

CONCLUSION

SNP at the IL-10-1082G/A locus contributed to the risk of ALI/RDS, allele G and genotype GG increasing the ALI/RDS risk, especially in Asia. Besides, allele G, genotype GG+GA, GG, and GA at the IL-10-1082G/A locus can increase susceptibility to NRDS.
