Interferon-λ3 rs12979860 can regulate inflammatory cytokines production in pulmonary fibrosis.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the last phase of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), which are a collection of pulmonary illnesses marked by parenchymal remodeling and scarring. Treatment can only halt the functional decline of the lung, raising the necessity of identifying the basic processes implicated in lung fibrogenesis. The Interferon lambda-3 (IFNL3) gene variant, rs12979860, was determined to be related to an elevated risk of fibrosis in different organs, but the mechanism through which it mediates fibrogenesis is not clear. In the current research, we aim to figure out some of the mechanistic pathways by which IFN-λ3 mediates ILDs. 100 healthy controls and 74 ILD patients were genotyped for IFNL3 rs12979860. Then the mRNA expression of IFNL3 and some other proinflammatory
