چکیده
background almost one-third of the world's population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis, but only 10% of them develop tuberculosis. tnf-α/il-10 balance has key roles in controlling latent/activation stages of tuberculosis. objectives the objective of this study was to determine an association between polymorphic variants of the tnf-α and il-10 genes and tuberculosis. patients and methods this case-control study was performed on 100 patients with tuberculosis (tb) and 194 healthy blood donors. there was no significant difference among the groups regarding gender and race (p > 0.05). the patients were diagnosed at boo-ali hospital in sistan-baluchestan province, iran. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was performed using commercially available cts-pcr-ssp tray kit (university clinic heidelberg) for single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) at il-10 -1082 a/t, -819 c/t and -592 a/c; tnf-a-308 g/a and -238 g/a. analysis of the specific amplicons was done by electrophoresis on 2% agarose gel containing 0.5 μg/ml ethidium bromide. results were analyzed using the statistical software package spss 17.0 for windows (spss inc.). results a total number of 100 patients (50 with pulmonary tb [ptb] and 50 with extrapulmonary tb [eptb]) and 194 healthy blood donors were genotyped. the results showed significantly increased frequency of aa genotype of il-10 (c/a-592). also, polymorphism was observed in eptb patients compared to normal human subjects (nhs) and ptb patients (p = 0.05). the genotype frequency of il-10 (c/t-819), il-10 (g/a-1082) tnf-α (g/a-308) and tnf-α (g/a-238) did not show any significant difference. frequency of high producing il-10 (-819) t allele was significantly over-represented in eptb group in comparison to both healthy blood donor and ptb groups (47.7% vs. 36.9%, p = 0.035; 47.7% vs. 31.8%, p = 0.03; respectively). frequency of il-10(-592) a allele was significantly increased in eptb patients compared to nhs and ptb patients (51% vs. 37%, p = 0.01; 51% vs. 33%, p = 0.01; respectively). conclusions results of the present study showed il-10 gene polymorphism (c/t –819, c/a –592) plays a key role in susceptibility to or protection against eptb development in the iranian population.

Apart from cigarette smoking, genetic factors seem to be of importance in the development of lung cancer. The present case-control study investigated frequencies of five inflammatory response gene polymorphisms (TNF-alpha-308, TNF-beta-Intron1-252, IL-6-174, IL-10-819 and IL-10-1082) in patients with lung cancer and controls. The study population consisted of 117 patients with lung cancer (77 p...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary tuberculosis, the most common clinical form of mycobacterial diseases, is a granulomatous disease of the lungs caused by Mycobaterium tuberculosis. A number of genes have been identified in studies of diverse origins to be important in tuberculosis. Of these, both tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and lymphotoxin alpha (LT-alpha) play important immunoregulatory roles....
