Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), situated in the class III region of human leukocyte antigen (HLA), is a mediator with multiple functions, including the regulation of inflammatory reaction and transcriptions of collagen and collagenase. In total, 809 male subjects were recruited for assessment of the association of OSF with a bi-allelic promoter-region (-308) polymorphism on the TNFA gene. The high production allele, TNF2, was significantly lower among OSF subjects (n = 166) than in areca-chewing controls (n = 284). This association was independent of oral cancer status. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratio for the TNFA 11 genotype was 2.6 (95% confidence interval = 1.4-4.9; p = 0.004). The finding may imply a multifunctional etiological factor of TNF-alpha in OSF pathogenesis. |
