Abstract:

Background: Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activities that implicated in the pathogenesis of some autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to determine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL-33, rs1929992, in patient’s gene with multiple sclerosis (MS) and investigation of this polymorphism with susceptibility to MS. Methods: In this case-control study, peripheral blood samples were collected from 140 MS patients (patients in the Afzalipur Hospital in Kerman) and blood sample of 140 healthy subjects (people referred to the Blood Transfusion Organization) as a control group from March 2016 to January 2018. SNP at rs1929992 was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: There was significant difference between healthy control group and patient with multiple sclerosis in the frequency of genotypes. The frequency of AA genotype at rs1929992 was significantly higher in the MS group in comparison with healthy control subjects (P= 0.0001), whereas frequency of AG genotype was significantly higher in the control group as compared with MS group (P= 0.02). There was no significant difference between the MS patients and healthy control group in GG genotype. Moreover, the frequencies of AA genotype at SNP rs1929992 were significantly higher in patients with secondary progressive MS (SP-MS) and primary progressive MS (PP-MS) as compared with control group (P= 0.03). However, the frequencies of AG genotype was significantly lower in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) in comparison to the healthy group (P= 0.01). In patients with RR-MS, PP-MS and SP-MS patterns, the frequencies of A allele was significantly higher than that in control group (P= 0.03, P= 0.01, P= 0.001). In patients with RR-MS, PP-MS and SP-MS pattern, the frequency of G allele was significantly lower than control group (P= 0.03, P= 0.01, P= 0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the SNP rs1929992 in IL-33 gene, may be associated with different pattern of MS susceptibility.

Association of FCγRIIA (CD32) polymorphism with susceptibility to brucellosis

Background: Brucellosis is the major bacterial zoonoses of global importance caused by Brucella spps. FCγRIIA receptor plays a central role in phagocytosis of IgG2-opsonized bacteria. FCγRIIA exhibits allelic polymorphisms with different capacities for binding IgG2 and phagocytosis. Cells expressing Fc γ RIIa-H131, bind more efficiently to complexes of IgG2 than those expressi...

Association of CD24V/V Genotype with Susceptibility and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis in Iranian Population

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CD24 has been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a population based study. This SNP results in the replacement of alanine (CD24A) by valine (CD24V) at amino acid 57 in the resulting polypeptide chain. In the current study, the genotyping of this SNP and its contribution to MS in 217 patients and 200 healthy individuals of an Iranian population w...

Association of Alu Insertion Polymorphism in Progesterone Receptor Gene with Risk of Multiple Sclerosis

Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the myelin sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. The prevalence of disease is higher in women and it seems that sex hormones, which usually exert their effects through receptors, are involved in susceptibility to MS. Considering the functional role of Alu insertion 306 bp polymorp...
