The IL-8 protein and mRNA expression are increased in the lung with IPF. We evaluated the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs of the IL-8 gene on the risk of IPF. Methods One promoter rs4073T A and two intronic SNPs rs2227307T G and rs2227306C T of the IL-8 genes were genotyped in 237 subjects with IPF and 456 normal controls. Logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the association of these SNPs with IPF. IL-8 in BAL fluids was measured using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay and promoter activity was assessed using the luciferase reporter assay. Results The minor allele frequencies of rs4073T A and rs2227307T G were significantly lower in the 162 subjects with surgical biopsy-proven IPF and 75 subjects with clinical IPF compared with normal controls in the recessive model OR and p and respectively . The IL-8 protein concentration in BAL fluids significantly increased in 24 subjects with IPF compared with 14 controls p . Nine IPF subjects homozygous for the rs4073 T A common allele exhibited higher levels of the IL-8 protein compared with six .
