Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-1 alpha (IL1alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL1beta), and IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1Ra) polymorphisms are implicated in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) pathogenesis.Materials and methods Subjects comprised 110 hematological patients and 148 healthy controls. Genotypic and allelic frequencies were similar between hematological patients and controls. IPA was diagnosed in 59 of the 110 patients according to consensus criteria published by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group (EORTC/IFICG).Results and discussions Individual locus analysis showed that IL1alpha and IL1Ra polymorphisms were not associated with the presence of IPA (p = 0.560 and p = 0.680, respectively). However, a trend towards a higher presence of IL1beta( - ) (511TT) genotype (or IL1beta(-511T) allele) in the IPA group than in the non-IPA patient group (p = 0.092 and p = 0.095, respectively) was found. Haplotype analysis revealed that VNTR2/-889C/-511T haplotype was strongly associated with susceptibility to develop IPA infection (p = 0.020). Haplotype analysis also showed an association between VNTR2/-889C/-511C haplotype and resistance to IPA infection (p = 0.028). Furthermore, patients with IL1Ra VNTR2/2 and IL1beta(-511)T/T genotypes had a higher positive serum galactomannan percentage versus patients with other genotypes. Finally, C-reactive protein (CRP) production was significantly associated with IL1 gene cluster polymorphisms, although CRP values were similar between IPA and non-IPA groups.Conclusion These findings indicate a critical role of IL1 gene cluster polymorphisms in the susceptibility to IPA infection and CRP production.

  • Polymorphisms in several cytokines are associated with susceptibility to specific fungal diseases: aspergillosis with IL-1, IL-10, IL-15, and IL-23; candidiasis with IL-4; paracoccidioidomycosis with IL-4; and blastomycosis with IL-6.

    “polymorphisms in a number of cytokines have also been found to predispose to fungal disease: aspergillosis (IL-1 [30], IL-10 [31,32], IL-15 [32], and IL-23); candidiasis (IL-4) [33,34]; paracoccidioidomycosis (IL-4) [35]; and blastomycosis (IL-6) [36].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
