Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with variable clinical outcomes, including gastroduodenal diseases, and genetic factors may be relevant in this process.Aims: We investigated the effects of an interleukin 8 (IL-8) gene polymorphism on the risk of gastroduodenal diseases, the degree of H pylori induced gastritis, and IL-8 gene transcription.Subjects: The study was performed in 244 healthy control subjects and 690 H pylori positive patients with non-cardia gastric cancer, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, or gastritis.Methods: We identified the IL-8 2251 A/T polymorphism by direct sequence analysis, and measured the gastritis score and serum pepsinogen ( PG). The transcriptional promoter activity of the IL-8 gene was assessed by luciferase assay.Results: IL-8 2251A was associated with a higher risk of gastric cancer and gastric ulcer. Patients carrying IL-8 2251A showed an increased risk of gastric cancer ( odds ratios ( OR) 2.01 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.38 - 2.92)) and gastric ulcer ( OR 2.07 ( 95% CI 1.37 - 3.12)). Compared with patients younger than 49 years, atrophy and metaplasia scores in the antrum were significantly higher and the PG I/II ratio significantly lower in 2251A carriers than in T/T carriers. In the in vitro assay, IL-8 2251A showed enhanced promoter activity in response to IL-1beta or tumour necrosis factor alpha.Conclusions: The IL-8 2251A allele may be associated with progression of gastric atrophy in patients with H pylori infection, and may increase the risk of gastric cancer and gastric ulcer in Japanese people.
