To examine the relationship of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 genetic variants and cardiovascular factors [oxygenized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), lower physical activity, overweight, etc.] with IL-6 and IL-10 secreted by monocytes.In the study, 40 health persons, aged from 51 to 80 years, without stroke and myocardial infarction, were randomly sampled from a community-based population in Beijing in 2010. Their data on smoking, drinking, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and lipid were collected. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-6 (rs1800796, rs1524107, rs2066992) and IL-10 (rs1800872, rs1554286, rs3021094) were genotyped. The human monocytes were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium for 24 h; then divided into two equal parts, in which ox-LDL (50 mg/L) and phosphate buffer solution (PBS) were added for another 48 h. Finally, the secretions of IL-6 and IL-10 in the culture supernatants were measured with ELISA.Paired Wilcoxon tests showed that the IL-6, IL-10, and IL-6/IL-10 were significantly higher in ox-LDL medium than in PBS one (all P0.01). The concentrations in PBS/ox-LDL taken as repeated measurements, and adjusted for age and gender, the repeated general linear models showed: IL-10 was significantly lower for those overweight (BMI ≥ 26 kg/m(2)) than for those normal weight (P = 0.007), and IL-6/IL-10 was significantly higher in those overweight (P = 0.003). The IL-6/IL-10 was significantly higher in those with lower physical activity [metabolic equivalent of energy, METS166 kJ/(kg.d)] than those with higher physical activities (P = 0.046). IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly higher in alcohol drinkers (P = 0.049 and P = 0.006). IL-6 was significantly higher in those with higher high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c, ≥ 56.4 mg/dL, P = 0.027). There were significant interactions between IL-10 SNPs and ox-LDL on IL-10 (all P0.05), but no significant interactions between IL-6 gene SNPs and ox-LDL on IL-6.The ox-LDL together with lower physical activity and overweight shifts the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory in the direction of pro-inflammatory. The interaction between IL-10 gene and ox-LDL is intensively correlated with the secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. |
