Abstract

The relationship between interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has been demonstrated but with inconsistent conclusions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential associations of IL gene polymorphisms and the SCC risk. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Database, WanFang, and China Science and Technology Journal Database databases were searched for articles reporting the correlations of IL-10 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms with the SCC risk. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated using Stata Version 11.2. Meta-regression, sensitivity, and publication bias were analyzed. False-positive reporting probability and Bayesian measure of the false-discovery probability were used to explore the credibility of the calculation. Twenty-three articles were included. The IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism showed a significant correlation with the SCC risk in the overall analysis. Studies pooled by ethnicity revealed that the IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism reduced the SCC risk in the Caucasian population. The results of this study suggest that the IL-10 rs1800872 polymorphism may confer a genetic susceptibility to SCC, particularly oral SCC, in Caucasians. However, the IL-10 rs1800896 or IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism was not significantly associated with the SCC risk.

Keywords: genetic polymorphism; interleukin-10; interleukin-6; meta-analysis; squamous cell carcinoma.
