The cag pathogenicity island (cag-PAI) is one of the major virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori, showing considerable geographic variation.We investigated the prevalence of cagA, cagE, and cagT genes of cag-PAI and their association with proinflammatory IL-1B-511/-31/+3954 polymorphisms in Venezuelan chronic gastritis patients from a high-risk gastric cancer region.Presence of cag-PAI genes and IL-1B polymorphisms in 121 biopsy specimens was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), respectively.cagA (+) and triple-positive (cagAET (+)) strains were detected in 79.3% and 70.2% of patients, respectively. We found that infection with cagA (+) and cagAET (+) strains was associated (P < 0.05) with hosts harboring both IL-1B +3954C allele and IL-1B-511T/-31C/+3954C haplotype (TCC (+)). The frequency of gastric atrophy was significantly higher (P < 0.020) among cagAET (+)/IL-1B-TCC (+) combined genotype carriers.Carriage of IL-1B +3954C allele and IL-1B-TCC (+) haplotype could favor colonization of bacterial cagAET (+) strains, and the combination of these bacterial and host haplotypes could play a synergistic role in development of premalignant gastric lesions. This work contributes to understanding of the complex interaction between H. pylori virulence factors and cytokine genotypes involved in gastrointestinal diseases.
