PG - 850-6 AB - OBJECTIVE: Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) and celiac disease (CD) are frequently associated and share the ancestral haplotype human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-8.1, which is characterized by a peculiar cytokine profile. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-10 alleles in CD and CD-IgAD. METHODS: The distribution of some biallelic polymorphisms of both cytokine promoters (-308G-->A and -863C-->A at TNF promoter sequence and -1082G-->A, -819C-->A, and -592C-->T at IL-10 promoter) were typed using biotilinated specific probes in 32 celiac patients, in 34 CD-IgAD patients, and in 96 healthy controls. RESULTS: In CD and CD-IgAD, the -308A allele was significantly more frequent than in controls, whereas no significant differences were observed for the biallelic polymorphisms at the -863 and for the three IL-10 promoter polymorphisms. The evaluation of combined TNF and IL-10 genotypes showed in CD-IgAD a significant reduction of -308G/-1082G homozygous subjects and both in CD and CD-IgAD groups an increase of 308AA/1082GG. Accordingly, CD-IgAD patients positive both for -308A TNF and -1082A IL-10 showed an increase of TNF-alpha and a reduction of IL-10 serum levels. CONCLUSIONS: Genetically determined increased production of TNF-alpha and reduction of IL-10 may be relevant for susceptibility to CD, mainly in IgAD, as the different allele expression at TNF and IL-10 loci seems to influence cytokine production profile.
