A TaqI polymorphism in the 3'UTR of the IL-12 p40 gene correlates with increased IL-12 secretion

Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a key cytokine for the induction of Th1 immune responses. We evaluated whether a TaqI polymorphism in the 3'UTR of the IL-12 p40 gene affects secretion of IL-12 in vitro, and whether this polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD). IL-12 p40 and p70 secretion by monocytes in relation to genotype was determined in 63 healthy donors. Genotype and allele frequencies of the TaqI polymorphism in 150 CD patients were compared with 145 ethnically matched healthy controls (HC). No significant association was found between genotype and IL-12 p40 secretion after stimulation of monocytes with SAC+IFNgamma. In contrast, increasing IL-12 p70 secretion was found across the categories of non-carriers, heterozygotes and homozygotes for the variant allele (median values+/-SEM: 147+/-27, 282+/-51 and 482+/-34 pg/ml, respectively; P<0.005). The allele and genotype frequencies of this polymorphism in patients with CD did not differ statistically significantly from HC. The presence of a TaqI polymorphism in the IL12 p40 3'UTR correlates with increased in vitro IL-12 p70, but not p40 secretion. While this polymorphism does not appear to be correlated with susceptibility to CD in the limited population of patients tested here, it could influence the occurrence of the disease in certain subsets of patients.
