Interleukin-1 Genotype in Periodontitis
ReviewAniela Brodzikowska et al.(2019)· Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis

This comprehensive literature review examines the role of interleukin-1 gene polymorphisms (IL1A and IL1B) in periodontitis susceptibility. Key findings indicate that rs1800587 and rs1143634 show the most consistent associations with periodontal disease across meta-analyses, though results vary significantly by ethnicity and population. Meta-analyses for rs1800587 show OR=1.22 for T allele in overall populations but significant association limited to Caucasians; rs1143634 shows OR=1.35-1.54 across multiple studies. Geographic and ethnic factors substantially influence genotype-disease correlations.

Genetic variability of interleukin-1 beta as prospective factor from developing post-traumatic stress disorder
AssociationN=347Lilit Hovhannisyan et al.(2017)· Immunogenetics

A case-control association study of 197 PTSD patients and 150 healthy controls in the Armenian population found that IL1B rs1143633 and rs16944 polymorphisms are protective against PTSD susceptibility. The rs1143633*C allele and rs16944*A allele had significantly lower frequencies in PTSD patients compared to controls (24% vs 39.7% and 21% vs 42%, respectively; OR=0.49 and OR=0.37). These findings suggest IL-1β genetic variants may modulate PTSD risk through effects on inflammatory response.

Variation in genes involved in the immune response and prostate cancer risk in the placebo arm of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial
AssociationN=1,729Winchester DA et al.(2015)· The Prostate

This prospective case-control study examined genetic variation in immune response genes and prostate cancer risk in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) placebo arm. Among 881 cases and 848 controls, the minor allele of rs3212227 in IL12(p40) was associated with increased prostate cancer risk (OR=1.30, 95% CI 1.10-1.53, P-trend=0.0017), particularly for lower-grade disease. The minor alleles of IL10 tagSNPs rs3021094 (OR=1.31, 95% CI 1.03-1.66, P-trend=0.03) and rs1800890 (OR=0.87, 95% CI 0.75-0.99, P-trend=0.04) showed significant associations. The study investigated whether observed associations were explained by PSA-associated detection bias and found that associations persisted in men with low PSA levels.

Coding Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Interleukin-1 Gene Cluster Are Not Associated with Kawasaki Disease in the Korean Population
AssociationN=396Su Kang Kim et al.(2011)· Pediatric Cardiology

This case-control association study examined whether four coding SNPs in the IL-1 gene cluster (rs17561, rs1143634, rs419598, rs315952) are associated with Kawasaki disease (KD) susceptibility and coronary artery lesion (CAL) development in 109 Korean KD patients and 287 healthy controls. No significant associations were found between any of the four IL-1 cSNPs and KD or CAL development (all P > 0.05), suggesting the IL-1 gene cluster members are not genetic markers of KD susceptibility in the Korean population.

Cytokine gene polymorphisms as risk and severity factors for juvenile dermatomyositis
AssociationN=424Gulnara Mamyrova et al.(2008)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatism

Candidate gene case-control study in 221 Caucasian juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) patients versus 203 controls identified TNF-α and IL-1 cytokine polymorphisms as risk and protective factors. TNF-α -308AG (OR 3.6), TNF-α -238GG (OR 3.5), and IL-1α +4845TT (OR 2.2) increased DM risk, while TNF-α -308GG (OR 0.26) and TNF-α -238AG (OR 0.22) were protective. TNF-α -308AA was a risk factor for calcinosis (OR 7.3) and ulcerations (OR 7.0), with TNF-α -308G allele protective for both complications.

A broad analysis of IL1 polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis
AssociationN=6,623Alyssa K. Johnsen et al.(2008)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatism

A comprehensive case-control and longitudinal cohort study of IL1A and IL1B polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involving 3,561 patients and 3,062 controls across multiple populations. Despite strong suggestive findings in the discovery NARAC sample (RA3/A OR 1.27, P = 0.0021; RA4/C OR 1.56, P = 0.036), these associations failed replication in independent case-control cohorts and erosion status analyses, leading to the conclusion that common variants in IL1A/B do not significantly contribute to RA susceptibility or severity in European-descent populations.

Cytokine response to vitamin E supplementation is dependent on pre‐supplementation cytokine levels
AssociationN=110Sarah E. Belisle et al.(2008)· BioFactors

This study examined whether the effect of vitamin E supplementation on cytokine production in elderly nursing home residents depends on baseline cytokine levels. Among 110 elderly participants in a 1-year randomized controlled trial, the authors genotyped 7 SNPs in cytokine genes (IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, IFNγ) and measured ex vivo cytokine production at baseline and follow-up. They found significant interactions between vitamin E treatment and baseline cytokine production for IFNγ (P=0.002-0.005), TNFα (P=0.009), IL-1β (P=0.053), and IL-6 (P=0.031), suggesting that vitamin E's immunomodulatory effects depend on individual baseline immune status.

Fine-mapping the genetic basis of CRP regulation in African Americans: a Bayesian approach
AssociationN=594Benjamin Rhodes et al.(2008)· Human Genetics

Fine-mapping study of C-reactive protein (CRP) regulation in 594 African Americans using dense SNP genotyping and Bayesian model selection. Found rs3091244(T) allele as the key functional variant regulating CRP expression with additive effects (Bayes factor >100), explaining 5.20% of CRP variance with β=0.312 (95% CI 0.146-0.491). Secondary analysis supported a two-SNP model including rs12728740, which segregated with European-origin haplotypes. The study demonstrates that weaker linkage disequilibrium in African Americans resolved genetic ambiguity seen in European populations.

Effect of interleukin‐1β gene functional polymorphism on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity in schizophrenic patients
FunctionalSergi Papiol et al.(2007)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

This computational modeling study examined IL-1 protein-receptor interactions in schizophrenia by analyzing genetic polymorphisms associated with the disease. The authors identified and analyzed 12 SNPs in IL-1 pathway genes (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1RA) and modeled their structural effects. The key finding was that rs315952 (p.Ser130Arg in IL-1RA) leads to weakened binding of IL-1RA to IL-1 receptors, potentially triggering the IL-1 signaling pathway and contributing to schizophrenia pathogenesis through dysregulated immune response.

About IL1B

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is produced by activated macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed to its active form by caspase 1 (CASP1/ICE). This cytokine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX2) by this cytokine in the central nervous system (CNS) is found to contribute to inflammatory pain hypersensitivity. Similarly, IL-1B has been implicated in human osteoarthritis pathogenesis. Patients with severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) present elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1B in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid samples. The lung damage induced by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is to a large extent, a result of the inflammatory response promoted by cytokines such as IL-1B. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]
