Background.A cluster of proinflammatory cytokines plays an important role in the development of various renal diseases, and the expression of these cytokines is genetically modified. To examine the association between polymorphisms of proinflammatory cytokine genes and albuminuria, a cross-sectional study was conducted in the general population.Methods.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six proinflammatory cytokine genes, includinginterleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, CC chemokine ligand 1 (CCL1)andmonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), were genotyped in 2927 Japanese subjects. Urine albumin–creatinine ratio (UACR) was measured in morning spot urine samples.Results.Albuminuria (UACR ≥ 30 mg/g) was significantly associated with the A/A + A/G genotype at rs2069852 in the IL-6 gene (P = 0.01) and the A/A genotype at rs228269 in theCCL1gene (P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis with adjustment for traditional risk factors showed that these genotypes independently predicted albuminuria [odds ratio (OR) 1.782, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.171–2.712, P = 0.007 for the A/A + A/G genotype at rs2069852 inIL-6, and OR 1.432, 95% CI 1.128–1.770, P = 0.003 for the A/A genotype at rs228269 inCCL1]. The prevalence of albuminuria and the UACR were increased along with the increase of risk genotypes.Conclusions.This study revealed that SNPs in the IL-6 andCCL1genes were associated with albuminuria, and the combination of these genotypes had an additive effect on the prevalence and severity of albuminuria. This indicates that genetic factors influencing inflammatory responses may affect the development of renal injury in the Japanese general population.
