PG - 420-427 LID - S1043-4666(18)30219-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cyto.2018.05.021 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is most important cause of viral encephalitis worldwide. The pathogenesis of this is probably attributed to the host genetic makeup. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and monocytes chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) play a vital role in host defense mechanism against flavivirus causing encephalitis. We assessed the possible genetic association between ICAM-1 (K469E) and MCP-1-2518 A > G polymorphisms and Japanese Encephalitis in North Indian population. METHODS: We studied ICAM-1(K469E) and MCP-1-2518 A > G polymorphisms with the help of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. Expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 were determined at mRNA and protein levels in JE patients and healthy controls by real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: Homozygous (E/E) genotype of ICAM-1 was associated with clinical severity (p = 0.015) and outcome (p = 0.04) of JE, whereas, heterozygous (A/G) genotype of MCP-1-2518 A > G was associated with outcome in JE patients (p = 0.01). Among severe cases of JE, a higher level of ICAM-1 was observed in patients with E allele (E/K + E/E) of ICAM-1 (K469E) than non-E allele (K/K). The level of MCP-1 was found significantly increased in JE patients with homozygous (G/G) genotype when compared to wild (A/A) genotype of MCP-1-2518 A > G (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: ICAM-1 (K469E) and MCP-1-2518 A > G polymorphisms lead to increased level of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in Japanese Encephalitis which may be associated with severity as well as an adverse outcome of the disease. ICAM-1 (K469E) polymorphism may affect host susceptibility to Japanese encephalitis in North Indian population. CI - Copyright (c) 2018. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
