Our results demonstrated that the IL-1β -511 C/C and IL-1β-511 C/T alleles were associated with chronic gastritis in H. pylori-positive patients (P = 0.04 and P = 0.05, respectively) and the IL-1β -511 C/C genotype was associated with GC (P = 0.03).
Interleukin-1 beta single-nucleotide polymorphism's C allele is associated with elevated risk of gastric cancer in Helicobacter pylori-infected Peruvians.
Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) gene polymorphisms are related to hypochlorhydria and increase the risk of gastric cancer in the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Subgroup analysis showed a significant correlation between IL-1β-511C/T polymorphism and susceptibility to gastric cancer in residents of southern China and in patients with intestinal-type gastric cancer, but not in residents of northern China or in patients with diffuse gastric cancer.
One hundred and forty-one non-cancer outpatients and 97 patients with gastric cancer were genotyped, and the relation between IL1B polymorphisms and gastric cancer was statistically analyzed.
Polymorphisms in the interleukin 1beta gene (IL-1B-31T/C and IL-1B-511C/T single nucleotide changes) and in the interleukin 1 receptor anatagonist gene (IL-1RN2 variable number of tandem repeats) have been studied with respect to gastric cancer susceptibility.
The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β plays a crucial role in the development of gastric tumors and polymorphisms in the IL-1 gene cluster leading to increased IL-1β production have been associated with increased risk for gastric cancer.
Further, meta-analysis revealed significant association of IL-1βrs1143627: T > C (p = 0.026; OR = 4.165; 95% CI 1.18-14.65) and rs16944: C > T (p = 0.01; OR = 5.49; 95% CI 1.48-20.37) in presence of H. pylori with gastric cancer in Asian population though no significant difference (p > 0.05) was found when compared to absence of H. pylori .
Furthermore, H. pylori infection has a synergistic effect on the development of GC with IL-1β gene polymorphisms, and the highest prevalence of severe gastric abnormalities are found in patients with both host and bacterial high-risk genotypes (cagA(+)/vacAs1(+)/IL-1β-511T).
Moderate to high Cap consumption synergistically increased GC risk in genetically susceptible individuals (IL1B-31C allele carriers) infected with the more virulent H. pylori (CagA+) strains.
Interkeukin-1 (IL-1) gene cluster polymorphisms that are thought to enhance the production of IL-1beta are associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer.
Implication of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and proinflammatory cytokines in gastric carcinogenesis: link to Helicobacter pylori-infection.
Polymorphisms of the IL-1B and IL-1RN genes (which encode interleukin [IL]-1beta and IL-1 receptor antagonist, respectively) have been associated with hypochlorhydria and gastric cancer.
Moderate to high Cap consumption synergistically increased GC risk in genetically susceptible individuals (IL1B-31C allele carriers) infected with the more virulent H. pylori (CagA+) strains.
Variation in genes for cytokines such as interleukin-1beta and its receptor antagonist may allow identification of those individuals predisposed to mount an immune response that puts them at elevated risk for gastric cancer.
Here we report that interleukin-1 gene cluster polymorphisms suspected of enhancing production of interleukin-1-beta are associated with an increased risk of both hypochlorhydria induced by H. pylori and gastric cancer.
The involvement of proinflammatory cytokines (especially IL-1 and IL-8) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to NF kappa B activation, increased cell proliferation combined with inhibition of apoptosis as well as upregulation of peroxisome proliferation activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) appear to be major molecular biology alterations in pathogenesis of GC.
