Abstract:

Interleukins(IL) are common inflammatory cytokines that can drive a variety of cellular processes including metastasis,infiltration,growth and angiogenesis of tumor cells by paracrine and autocrine means. Gastric cancer is a type of gastrointestinal malignancy that is difficult to diagnose at an early stage,and its development is related to a variety of factors. Recent genetic studies have revealed that many single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) loci in cytokine-encoding genes are related with the development of various cancers and diseases,suggesting that IL gene polymorphisms may play roles in the occurrence,development and metastasis of gastric cancer,and it is associated with the risk and susceptibility of gastric cancer development. Theoretically,the study of IL gene polymorphisms can be used to find gastric cancer-related diagnostic and treatment targets and elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of IL genes in gastric cancer,providing a new reference for its clinical diagnosis and treatment. This review focuses on the correlation of IL gene polymorphisms of gastric cancer and its research progress.
