Abstract:
BACKGROUND:At present, inflammation is considered to be one of the key players in the development and maintenance of atherosclerosis, with ample impact on renal transplant outcomes. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and the underlying genetically determined "high-producer" status impact cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, the role of genetically determined IL-6 differences in cardiovascular and renal outcomes of kidney transplantation is controversial. In this study, we sought to clarify the influence of IL-6 haplotypes on cardiovascular and renal outcomes among kidney transplant recipients. METHODS:Three hundred fifty-two first kidney transplant patients were genotyped for the two "clade" IL-6 polymorphisms ((-174)G/C and (1888)G/T) and two missense polymorphisms (Pro32Ser, Asp162Val), which are known to influence IL-6 levels and outcome. RESULTS:We observed four IL-6 haplotypes among our population: CCAG: 57.0%, CCAT: 2.8%, GCAT: 39.2%, GCTT: 1.0%. After stratifying the haplotypes into diplotypes in three different models, we failed to observe associations with early or late graft outcomes, or with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. These findings were also confirmed when we separately analyzed each polymorphism. CONCLUSION:Despite evidence of associations in other transplant and ESRD cohorts, we could not confirm any association between IL-6 haplotypes/diplotypes and cardiovascular or graft-related outcomes among our population at high risk for inflammatory diseases.
