Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) gene polymorphisms are related to hypochlorhydria and increase the risk of gastric cancer in the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Interleukin-1 beta single-nucleotide polymorphism's C allele is associated with elevated risk of gastric cancer in Helicobacter pylori-infected Peruvians.
Based on subgroup analysis, H. pylori infection and genotype analysis using PCR-RFLP methods increase the association between IL-1β-511 T allele carrier and risk of stomach cancer.
Functionally, 2 RUNX3 isoforms may contribute differentially to intestinal-type gastric cancer susceptibility, at least in part through regulating NF-κB activity and IL1B expression.
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).
Helicobacter pylori infection in combination with the serum pepsinogen I/II ratio and interleukin-1beta-511 polymorphisms are independent risk factors for gastric cancer in Thais.
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.
IFN-γ and IL-10 levels were significantly higher in early (I/II) and late stage (III/IV) gastric cancer; IL-1β and IL-8 were higher and MCP-1 was lower only in late stage (IV) patients.
In countries with a low prevalence of gastric cancer, risk groups carrying cagA+ strains and IL-1 genetic polymorphisms should be identified and treated.
In the Chinese subgroup, nominally significant associations were shown between (i) EBBR2+1963G (rs1801200) and H. pylori infection (per-allele OR: 0.48, 95% CI 0.23, 0.98, P = 0.04), (ii) PTGS2-1195G (rs689466) and an increased risk of GC on adjusting for H. pylori status (OR: 1.53, 95% CI 0.99, 2.37, P = 0.05), and (iii) IL1B-1473C (rs1143623) and a decreased risk of GC (OR: 0.64, 95% CI 0.41, 0.99, P = 0.05).
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.
It has been reported that interleukin-1beta (IL-1B) genes play a crucial role in the genetic predisposition to gastric cancer although there is no information about their role in different subtypes of gastric cancer.
