Abstract

The objective was to investigate whether genotypes, haplotypes and haplotype-pairs of interleukin (IL) gene cluster are associated with risk of Myocardial Infarction (MI) at young age and with the release of IL-1B and expression of tissue factor pro-coagulant activity (TFPCA), after stimulation in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Patients with MI at young age, frequency-matched for age, sex and recruitment centre, with healthy population-based controls and PBMCs from healthy volunteers were studied. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identifying two haplotype-blocks, in IL-1B gene and one SNP in IL-1A and IL-RA genes were genotyped. In multivariate analyses, haplotype A2 (122) and A4 (112) were associated with decreased risk of MI [OR = 0.62 (95% CI = 0.40–0.95), p = 0.01; OR = 0.69 (95% CI = 0.51–0.92), p = 0.03, respectively]. Haplotype-pair A2/A2 showed significant reduction in the risk of MI [OR = 0.38 (95% CI = 0.18–0.81); p = 0.01]. Haplotype A2 and A4 were associated with lower levels of IL-1B (respectively p = 0.01; p = 0.04, multivariate analysis) and haplotype-pair A2/A4 showed decreased levels of IL-1beta (p = 0.02). No association was found between block “B” IL-1B haplotypes or IL-1A and IL-RA polymorphisms and risk of MI. IL-1B haplotypes influence the inflammatory response of human mononuclear cells to LPS and affect the risk of MI at young age.
