چکیده

immune responses play critical roles in the leishmaniasis eradication. il-10 is a key regulator of immune responses, and the polymorphisms within its promoter region are associated with alteration in its expression. therefore, this study was designed to examine the correlation between polymorphism at the -1082 position of the il-10 gene and visceral leishmaniasis (vl).the il-10 -1082 polymorphism and anti-leishmania antibody titration were examined in 110 patients with clinical presentation of vl and seropositive for the leishmania (group 1), 74 seropositive patients but without clinical presentation (group 2) and 113 healthy controls (group 3) using the pcr-rflp and immunofluorescence techniques, respectively.the polymorphism at il-10 -1082 (a/g) position was significantly associated with vl and a/g genotype was significantly higher in vl patients when compared to the groups 2 and 3 (p< 0.001). however, the results demonstrated that the a and g alleles were not associated with vl (p= 0.263).previous investigations have shown that the polymorphism at the -1082 position of the il-10 gene can influence its expression and also it has been proved that il-10 level was increased during vl. our results suggest that the a/g genotype may be considered as a risk factor for vl.

Is the Polymorphism at Position -1082 of IL-10 Gene Associated with Visceral Leishmaniasis?

BACKGROUND Immune responses play critical roles in the leishmaniasis eradication. IL-10 is a key regulator of immune responses, and the polymorphisms within its promoter region are associated with alteration in its expression. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the correlation between polymorphism at the -1082 position of the IL-10 gene and visceral leishmaniasis (VL). METHODS The ...

the l-selectin phe206leu gene polymorphism is not associated with visceral leishmaniasis

background: previous studies revealed that selectins play key roles in homing of immune cells to inflamed tissues and lymphatic organs. l-selectins are expressed on immune cells and interact with p and e selectins to homing to the tissues, hence, the polymorphisms within the gene of l-selectins may are associated with alteration in its expression. thus, the current cross-sectional analytical st...

Association of IL-10 rs1800896 (-1082 G/A) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Northeast of Iran

Background and objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and systemic inflammatory disease in which the immune response is disturbed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of regulatory cytokines including interleukin-10 (IL-10) may lead to exacerbated immune response and increased risk of RA. Here, we aimed to assess the association of IL-10 -1082 (G/A) (rs180...

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in experimental visceral leishmaniasis and IL-10 receptor blockade as immunotherapy.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is thought to promote intracellular infection, including human visceral leishmaniasis, by disabling Th1 cell-type responses and/or deactivating parasitized tissue macrophages. To develop a rationale for IL-10 inhibition as treatment in visceral infection, Th1 cytokine-driven responses were characterized in Leishmania donovani-infected BALB/c mice in which IL-10 was absent...
