mcp-1, ccr2 and ccr5 polymorphisms in tunisian patients with atopic asthma.

چکیده
chemokines and their receptors play an important role in the late inflammatory stage of asthma. in this study, we aimed to investigate polymorphisms of mcp-1 (ccl2), ccr2 and ccr5 which can affect qualitatively and/or quantitatively their production and thus influence both susceptibility and severity of asthma and its clinical and biological features. mcp-1 (a/g -2518), ccr2 (+/64i), ccr5 (g/a -59029) and ccr5 (∆32)polymorphisms were evaluated by pcr in 107 tunisian patients with asthma and 169 healthy controls. no significant association was found between the four investigated polymorphisms and asthma. nevertheless the haplotype mcp1*ag/ccr2*+/+ was significantly l ess frequent in patients (20.5%) compared to controls (32.5%) (p=0.03; or=0.54; 95% ci:0.29-0.98). whereas no difference was observed in ccr2/ccr5 haplotypes between patients and controls. analysis of polymorphisms with clinical and biological features showed that the concomitant presence of mcp-1*g/ccr2*64i alleles was less frequent in severe forms (4.34%) compared to moderate disease (12%) but the difference was not significant (p=0.27). no association was observed between the four polymorphisms and the presence of atopic rhinitis or atopic conjunctivitis and an elevated rate of serum ige over 200 iu/ml. additional effects of mcp-1 and its receptor ccr2 polymorphisms seem to be involved in disease susceptibility to asthma in tunisian patients; nevertheless they could be protective against its severe forms.

Objective(s) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex disease with multifactorial etiology. Inflammation has been proven to have an important role in the pathogenesis of AD. Both CCR2 and CCR5 genes expression increase in AD patients comparing to control subjects. CCR5 gene encodes a protein which is a member of the beta chemokine receptors family of integral membrane proteins. CCR5-Δ32 is a gene...

متن کاملAssociation of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Variability in the clinical outcome of persons exposed to and infected with HIV-1 and tuberculosis (TB) is determined by multiple factors including host genetic variations. The aim of the present study was to find out whether chemokine, chemokine receptor and DC-SIGN gene polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility or resistance to HIV and HIV-TB in south India. ...

Among the factors modulating transplant rejection, chemokines and their respective receptors deserve special attention. Increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and its corresponding receptor (chemokine receptor-2, CCR2) has been implicated in renal transplant rejection. To determine the impact of the MCP-1-2518G and CCR2-64I genotypes on renal allograft function, 167 ...
