Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.
SPECIFIC AIMS :
Aim 1 : To identify the role of hereditary genetic polymorphisms in modulating levels of IL-6 production in healthy controls. Hypothesis 1: IL-6 promoter SNP that have been associated with increased levels of IL-6 in vitro testing systems will also be associated with increased levels of IL-6 in vivo.
Aim 2 : To evaluate the relationship between psychological measures, neuroendocrine activity and genetic polymorphisms in healthy controls. Hypothesis 2: Increased levels of IL-6 expression will be associated with greater levels of depression.
Aim 3 : To evaluate the relationship between body mass index, neuroendocrine activity and genetic polymorphisms in healthy controls. Hypothesis 3: Increased levels of IL-6 expression will be associated with greater levels of body mass index (BMI).
Aim 4 : To measure HSV8 expression in healthy controls. Hypothesis 7: Viruses which affect immune responsiveness by expressing viral cytokines may participate in immune dysregulation by modulating the cytokine network.
