简介：AbstractBackground:Interleukin-18 (IL18) gene polymorphisms are related to many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, a correlation analysis between IL18-607C/A and -137G/C gene polymorphisms and Takayasu arteritis (TA) is lacking.Methods:This study enrolled 200 patients with TA as the case group and 334 region-, age-, and sex-matched healthy subjects as the control group. We genotyped alleles and genotypes at positions -607 and -137 of the IL18 gene and analyzed the distribution frequencies. Mann-Whitney U test, t test, Chi-squared test and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were performed.Results:After adjusting for risk factors, the adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals at position -607C/A were 0.533, 0.391 to 0.880 (P = 0.010); 0.266, 0.586 to 1.002 (P = 0.051); and 0.122, 0.552 to 1.420 (P = 0.613) under the dominant, additive, and recessive models, respectively. For the -137G/C polymorphism, the adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were 1.571, 1.068 to 2.311 (P = 0.022); 1.467, 1.086 to 1.980 (P = 0.012); and 1.815, 0.901 to 3.656 (P = 0.095) under the dominant, additive, and recessive models, respectively. Moreover, regardless of the model used, we found no statistical difference in distribution frequency between the active and quiescent states of TA for the -607C/A (P = 0.355, 0.631, and 0.705, respectively) and -137G/C polymorphisms (P = 0.205, 0.385, and 0.208, respectively).Conclusions:The IL18-607C/A gene polymorphism may decrease the risk of TA, and thus is a protective factor, whereas -137G/C may increase the risk of TA, and thus is a risk factor. However, neither polymorphism was related to activity (active vs. quiescent) of TA.

简介：AbstractBackground:Degree of mucosal recovery is an important indicator for evaluating the therapeutic effects of drugs in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Increasing evidences has proved that tight junction (TJ) barrier dysfunction is one of the pathological mechanisms of IBD. The aim of this study was to observe whether enhancement of TJ can decrease colitis recurrence.Methods:Eighty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups including normal group, colitis group, sulfasalazine (SASP) treated group, and traditional Chinese drug salvianolic acid B (Sal B) treated group. Colitis was established in mice by free drinking water containing dextran sulfate sodium, after treatments by SASP and Sal B, recombinant human interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was injected intraperitoneally to induce colitis recurrence.Results:Compared with sham control, cell apoptosis in colitis group was increased from 100.85 ± 3.46% to 162.89 ± 11.45% (P = 0.0038), and TJ dysfunction marker myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) was also significantly increased from 99.70 ± 9.29% to 296.23 ± 30.78% (P = 0.0025). The increased cell apoptosis was reversed by both SASP (125.99 ± 8.45% vs. 162.89 ± 11.45%, P = 0.0059) and Sal B (104.27 ± 6.09% vs. 162.89 ± 11.45%, P = 0.0044). High MLCK expression in colitis group was reversed by Sal B (182.44 ± 89.42% vs. 296.23 ± 30.78%, P = 0.0028) but not influenced by SASP (285.23 ± 41.04% vs. 296.23 ± 30.78%, P > 0.05). The recurrence rate induced by recombinant human IL-1β in Sal B-treated group was significantly lower than that in SASP-treated group.Conclusions:These results suggested a link between intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction, especially TJ barrier dysfunction, and colitis recurrence. The TJ barrier dysfunction in remission stage of colitis increased the colitis recurrence. This study might provide potential treatment strategies for IBD recurrence.
