Abstract

Interleukin 6 (IL6) plays key roles in hematopoiesis, immune, and acute phase responses. Dysregulated IL6 expression is implicated in diseases such as atherosclerosis and arthritis. We have examined the functional effect of four polymorphisms in the IL6 promoter (-597G-->A, -572G-->C, -373A(n)T(n), -174G-->C) by identifying the naturally occurring haplotypes and comparing their effects on reporter gene expression. The results indicate different transcriptional regulation in the ECV304 cell line compared with the HeLa cell line, suggesting cell type-specific regulation of IL6 expression. The haplotypes showed functional differences in the ECV304 cell line; transcription was higher from the GG9/11G haplotype and lower from the AG8/12G allele. The differences suggest that more than one of the polymorphic sites is functional; the base differences at distinct polymorphic sites do not act independently of one another, and one polymorphism influences the functional effect of variation at other polymorphic sites. These results show that genetic polymorphisms in the promoter influence IL6 transcription not by a simple additive mechanism but rather through complex interactions determined by the haplotype.

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.
