Aims:
Interleukin 1 (IL-1) inhibitory receptor type 2 (IL1R2) serves as a negative regulator of IL-1 signalling and is involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. This study aimed to determine the correlation between IL1R2 polymorphism and osteoporosis susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.
Methods:
We recruited 594 osteoporosis patients and 599 healthy controls. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL1R2 were selected for genotyping using the Agena MassARRAY platform. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age and sex. Linkage disequilibrium analysis was plotted using Haploview v4.2. Multifactor dimension reduction (MDR) was performed to estimate the SNP-SNP interactions of IL1R2 variants.
Results:
Rs11674595 (OR = 1.86, p = 0.020), rs2072472 (OR = 1.26, p = 0.019) and rs4851527 (OR = 0.78, p = 0.007) were related to the risk of osteoporosis. Moreover, the contribution of IL1R2 polymorphisms to osteoporosis risk was associated with age, sex and body mass index. We found the relationships of Trs11674595 Ars4851527 (OR = 0.80, p = 0.015), Crs11674595 Grs4851527 (OR = 1.22, p = 0.043) and Ars3218977 Grs2072472 (OR = 1.25, p = 0.022) haplotypes to osteoporosis occurrence, and a potential accumulated effect of IL1R2 SNPs (testing accuracy = 0.5783 and cross validation consistency = 10/10) on osteoporosis susceptibility.
Conclusion:
IL1R2 polymorphisms (rs11674595, rs4851527, rs2072472 and rs3218977) may contribute to osteoporosis risk in the Chinese Han population. Our findings may increase our understanding of the effects of IL1R2 polymorphisms on the predisposition to osteoporosis.
