Summary
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunoregulatory cytokine, usually considered to mediate downregulation of the inflammatory response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Some effects of IL-10 are not anti-inflammatory, for example activation of B cells to promote autoantibody production. Allelic polymorphisms located in the promoter region of IL-10 gene may contribute to the regulation of autoantibodies production. To examine the association between both individual IL-10 single nucleotide polymorphism -1082 G/A with the production of rheumatoid factors (RFs) in RA patients. A total of 151 patients with RA diagnosed according to the revised criteria of the American College of Rheumatology for RA were consecutively recruited into the study. All patients had a disease duration from the first manifestation of the disease symptoms of at least 24 months. Polymerase chain reaction amplification was used for analysis of the promoter polymorphism of the IL-10 gene. Serum levels of RFs were measured by ELISA. We observed significant differences in genotype distribution of the -1082 G/A polymorphism between IgM RF, IgA RF, and IgG RF positive/negative subgroups of RA patients, with higher prevalence of the GG genotype within IgM RF (Pg = 0.006), IgA RF (Pg = 0.05), and IgG RF (Pg = 0.007) negative RA patients. Results obtained in this study provide the evidence of an association of the -1082 G/A polymorphism in IL-10 gene promoter with the production of RFs, which are associated with poorer prognosis of RA.
