Association of Genetic Polymorphism of IL-2 Receptor Subunit and Tuberculosis Case

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. It is known that not only the property of microorganism but also the genetic susceptibility of infected patients is controlled. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is a cytokine belonging to type 1 T helper (Th1) activity. In addition, IL-2, when infected with MTB, binds IL-2 receptor and promotes T cell replication and is involved in granuloma formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of the IL-2… Show more

“…It is suggested that sIL-2R together with IFN-γ and neopterin may serve as parameters to monitor the prognosis of TB, particularly in patients with severe pulmonary TB [49]. IL-2R gene polymorphism analysis including variants of IL-2RA, IL-2RB, and IL-2RG revealed that only IL-2RA gene polymorphisms showed a statistically significant association with susceptibility to TB [50]. In the study involving 235 participants with TB and latent Mtb infection, serum levels of IL-2Ra and chemokine CCL1 were higher in TB compared to latently infected individuals; therefore, they can be used as a diagnostic tool to discriminate between these groups [51].…”

“…특히 ARMC4 유전자는 심 장 질환과의 연관을 조사한 연구들이 많이 존재하고 있 지 않으므로, 실험을 통하여 ARMC4와 심장 질환과의 연 관성을 확인한다면 더욱 확실한 연구가 될 것이다. 현재까지 다양한 질환의 발병과 환경적 및 유전적 요 인과의 상관관계에 대한 연구들이 진행되어 왔으며(Lee et al, 2018;Jeon and Jin, 2019;Lim et al, 2019) 고혈압에 관 련된 유전적 요인에 대한 연구들도 진행되어 왔다(Fowdar et al, 2017; Ko and Jin, 2019;Park et al, 2019). 본 연구에서 는 한국인 유전체 역학 자료를 기반으로 ARMC4, LRP4 그리고 BCL2 유전자의 유전적 변이들과 고혈압 및 혈압 수치와의 상관성을 분석하여 유의한 상관관계를 확인하 였다.…”
