Aims: To determine whether the G (− 174) C interleukin 6 (IL-6) polymorphism influences the
development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This
was investigated by comparing the distribution of G (− 174) C genotypes between patients
with type 2 diabetes and PAD (PAD+) and those with type 2 diabetes but without PAD
(PAD−). Plasma concentrations of IL-6, fibrinogen, C reactive protein (CRP), and vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were also compared in PAD+ and PAD− patients. Methods …
Aims: To determine whether the G(−174)C interleukin 6 (IL-6) polymorphism influences the development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This was investigated by comparing the distribution of G(−174)C genotypes between patients with type 2 diabetes and PAD (PAD+) and those with type 2 diabetes but without PAD (PAD). Plasma concentrations of IL-6, fibrinogen, C reactive protein (CRP), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were also compared in PAD+ and PAD patients.
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 146 PAD+ and 144 PAD patients. SfaNI was used to determine the G(−174)C genotype. Plasma concentrations of IL-6, fibrinogen, CRP, and VEGF were measured by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The GG genotype was more common in PAD+ patients than in PAD patients. PAD+ patients also had increased mean plasma concentrations of IL-6, fibrinogen, CRP, and VEGF compared with PAD patients. Mean plasma concentrations of IL-6, fibrinogen, and CRP in both PAD+ and PAD patients were higher in those with the GG genotype than in those with the GC or CC genotypes. In contrast, mean plasma concentrations of VEGF in PAD+ and PAD patients were not significantly different between those with different G(−174)C genotypes.
Conclusions: These results support a model in which the GG genotype promotes PAD development among individuals with type 2 diabetes by inducing increased release of IL-6. Higher concentrations of IL-6 among those with the GG genotype is associated with increased plasma concentrations of fibrinogen and CRP.
