OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the genotype and allelic frequencies of two human leukocyte antigen-linked bi-allelic 70-kilodalton heat shock protein (HSP70) gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to and outcome of severe sepsis. Furthermore, we investigated a possible linkage between HSP70 gene polymorphisms and the previously reported and mortality-related tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-beta) NcoI gene polymorphism. DESIGN: Consecutive entry study of patients with severe sepsis. SETTING: Surgical intensive care unit in a university hospital. PATIENTS: Eighty-seven patients with a diagnosis of severe sepsis. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We studied two bi-allelic polymorphisms within the coding region of the constitutively expressed HSP70-HOM C/T, and the stress-inducible HSP70-2 G/A in patients with severe sepsis. The HSP70-HOM Ncol, HSP70-2 Pstl, and TNF-beta NcoI polymorphisms were identified by means of the polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction analysis of the polymerase chain reaction product. No significant differences in genotype and allelic frequencies were observed for both HSP70 gene polymorphisms between the 87 patients and the 110 healthy Caucasians serving as the control group. In addition, no differences in genotype and allelic frequencies between surviving and nonsurviving patients were detected. The allelic frequencies in the group of nonsurvivors were 0.8 for the HSP70-HOM C allele and 0.2 for the HSP70-HOM T allele vs. 0.87 and 0.13 for the survivors (p > .05). The frequency for the HSP70-2 G allele was 0.36 and 0.64 for the HSP70-2 A allele in the group of nonsurvivors vs. 0.41 and 0.59 for the survivors (p > .05). Analysis of a possible linkage between HSP70 and TNF-beta genotypes resulted in a significant association (odds ratio, 4.15; p < .01) of the HSP70-2 A/A homozygous genotype and the TNFB2/B2 homozygous genotype, which is reported to be a genomic marker for a poor prognosis in severe sepsis. CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that the bi-allelic NcoI and PstI polymorphisms within the HSP70-HOM and HSP70-2 locus, respectively, are associated with neither susceptibility to nor outcome of severe sepsis. Moreover, we found a linkage between HSP70-2 A homozygotes and the previously reported and mortality-related homozygous genotype, TNFB2/B2, in patients suffering from severe sepsis. |
