The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there was any correlation between Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases and (1) H. pylori virulence genes or (2) IL-1B, IL-1RN, IFN-G, TNF-A, IL-10 genetic polymorphisms. Patients with non-cardia gastric cancer (NCGC, n=129) or benign gastroduodenal diseases (n=792) were studied. IL-1RN intron 2 VNTR polymorphism (PCR), IL-1B -31 C/T (RFLP), the SNPs of IFN-G (+874 A/T), TNF-A (-1031 C/T, -857 C/T, -376 A/G, -308 A/G, -238 A/G), IL-10 (-1082 A/G, -819 C/T, -592 A/C) (Taqman chemistry) were studied. cagA, s1 and m1 vacA, were PCR amplified. Duodenal ulcer was more frequent in TNF-A -857 TT and in IL-1RN 1,2 subjects. TNF-A -857 TT genotype was also correlated with gastric ulcer. IL-10 -819 TT genotype was associated with intestinal metaplasia and NCGC. Antral inflammation was associated with TNF-A -1031 TT, while corpus activity with IL-10 -819 CC. H. pylori infection was associated with TNF-A -308 AG genotype, while IFN-G +874 AA genotype was associated with cagA. In conclusion, among host genetic factors contributing to H. pylori disease outcome, IFN-G +874 AA genotype favors cagA positive infections, TNF-A -857 TT duodenal ulcer while IL-10 -819 TT intestinal metaplasia and NCGC.

Serum levels of TNF-a and IFN-g gene polymorphism in type 2 diabetes mellitus in kurdish patients.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease and cytokines show a vital role in the T2DM progress. The goal of this research was to assess serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) and interferon-gamma (IFN-?) gene polymorphism in T2DM in Kurdish patients. Levels of serum IFN-? and TNF-? were assessed through enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay in individuals with T2DM and the control group.

Background: Aplastic anemia (AA), an unusual hematological disease, is characterized by hypoplasia of the bone marrow and failure to form blood cells of all three lineages resulting in pancytopenia. This study aimed to investigate TNF-a-308 and IFN-g-874 gene polymorphisms and their respective plasma protein levels in patients with AA and healthy controls.
Methods: Two hundred and forty individuals were included in this study; the case group comprised 120 AA patients, while 120 healthy individuals served as controls.
Gene Expression Signatures Associated With Immune and Virological Responses to Therapeutic Vaccination With Dendritic Cells in HIV-Infected Individuals.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to develop an HIV therapeutic vaccine that boosts the immune response against the virus, showing promising results with dendritic cells loaded with HIV-lipopeptides in HIV-infected patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy.
- - Findings indicate that stronger HIV-specific T cell responses lead to better control of viral load after stopping antiretroviral treatment, and the study identifies significant changes in gene expression related to inflammation and T cell function post-vaccination.
- - An increase in certain inflammatory pathways, particularly those involving toll-like receptors (like TLR4), correlates with weaker immune responses and less effective viral control, highlighting the need to balance immune activation and inflammation for vaccine efficacy against HIV.
Association analysis of cytokine polymorphisms and plasma level in Northern Chinese Han patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Background: While the incidence of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is relatively high in Northern China, the exact mechanism of the disease remains unknown. Immunoregulatory cytokine polymorphisms can directly regulate the expression levels of cytokines, which play a crucial role in many diseases. The purpose of this study was to study cytokine gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the correlated cytokine expression levels in relationship to the PNH pathogenesis.

Aim: Exposure to UV light is the major risk factor in the development of age-related cataract (ARC). UV filters produced during tryptophan catabolism maintain the transparency of the lens and protect retina from photo damage. Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO), the first rate-limiting enzyme in the tryptophan catabolism, is up regulated by interferon-gamma (IFN-g) which harbors single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
