IntroductionDeregulated or excessive host immune responses contribute to the pathogenesis of sepsis. Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways and their negative regulators play a pivotal role in the modulation of host immune responses and the development of sepsis. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of variants in the TLR signaling pathway genes and their negative regulator genes with susceptibility to sepsis in the Chinese Han population.MethodsPatients with severe sepsis (n= 378) and healthy control subjects (n= 390) were enrolled. Five genes, namelyTLR2, TLR4, TLR9, MyD88andTOLLIP, were investigated for their association with sepsis susceptibility by a tag single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) strategy. Twelve tag SNPs were selected based on the data of Chinese Han in Beijing from the HapMap project and genotyped by direct sequencing. The mRNA expression levels ofTOLLIPwere determined using real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays, and concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsOur results showed that the minor C-allele of rs5743867 inTOLLIPwas significantly associated with the decreased risk of sepsis (Padj= 0.00062, odds ratio (OR)adj= 0.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.59 to 0.86) after adjustment for covariates in multiple logistic regression analysis. A 3-SNP haplotype block harboring the associated SNP rs5743867 also displayed strong association with omnibus testPvalue of 0.00049. Haplotype GTC showed a protective role against sepsis (Padj= 0.0012), while haplotype GCT showed an increased risk for sepsis (Padj= 0.00092). After exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS),TOLLIPmRNA expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from homozygotes for the rs5743867C allele were significantly higher than in heterozygotes and homozygotes for the rs5743867T allele (P= 0.013 andP= 0.01, respectively). Moreover, the concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 in culture supernatants were significantly lower in the subjects of rs5743867CC genotype than in CT and TT genotype subjects (P= 0.016 andP= 0.003 for TNF-α;P= 0.01 andP= 0.002 for IL-6, respectively).ConclusionsOur findings indicated that the variants inTOLLIPwere significantly associated with sepsis susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.
