Sažetak
Aim To analyze the association of estrogen receptor α
(ORα) gene polymorphisms with cytokine genes expression
in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
and controls.
Methods Genomic DNA was extracted and polymorphisms
of XbaІ (XX, Xx, or xx genotype) and PvuII (PP, Pp, or
pp) in intron 1 of ORα gene were detected by polymerase
chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms
(PCR-RFLP) method. The messenger RNA (mRNA) levels
of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-4, interferon (IFN)-γ, and IL-2 were
assessed by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase
chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Results In patients with SLE with PpXx genotype, IL-10 and
IL-4 mRNA expression was higher (P < 0.001 and P = 0.013,
respectively), while in patients with SLE with Ppxx genotype
IFN-γ and IL-2 mRNA expression was lower than in
controls (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in
mRNA expression of 4 cytokines among controls with various
genotypes.
Conclusion ORα gene polymorphism may be associated
with the expression of IL-10, IL-4, IL-2, and IFN-γ in patients
with SLE.
