Interleukin-6, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and interleukin-1beta production in patients with focal epilepsy: A video-EEG study
Alapirtti T, Rinta S, Hulkkonen J, Makinen R, Keranen T, Peltola J
J Neurol Sci . 2009 Mar; 280(1-2):94-7. PMID: 19272615
Unlabelled: Experimental and clinical studies have shown that prolonged seizures result in increased cytokine production in the central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to examine plasma concentrations...

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) gene polymorphism and MMP-9 plasma levels in primary Sjogren's syndrome
Hulkkonen J, Pertovaara M, Antonen J, Pasternack A, Hurme M, Pollanen P, et al.
Rheumatology (Oxford) . 2004 Aug; 43(12):1476-9. PMID: 15316122
Objectives: To determine whether plasma matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and MMP9 (-1562C-->T) polymorphism have an effect on the disease phenotype in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS). Methods: Plasma MMP-9 concentrations and...

The IL1A genotype is associated with nasal polyposis in asthmatic adults
Karjalainen J, Joki-Erkkila V, Hulkkonen J, Pessi T, Nieminen M, Aromaa A, et al.
Allergy . 2003 May; 58(5):393-6. PMID: 12752325
Background: Nasal polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory disease often found coexisting with asthma. As this disorder tends to cluster in families, a genetic predisposition has been suggested. Interleukin-1 (IL-1)...

A common IL-1 complex haplotype is associated with an increased risk of atopy
Pessi T, Karjalainen J, Hulkkonen J, Nieminen M, Hurme M
J Med Genet . 2003 May; 40(5):e66. PMID: 12746420

Immunoglobulin G3 and immunoglobulin M isotype plasma levels are influenced by interleukin-1alpha genotype
Kilpinen S, Laine S, Hulkkonen J, Hurme M
Scand J Immunol . 2003 Mar; 57(3):296-302. PMID: 12641660
The immunoglobulin (Ig) plasma levels are known to be, at least partially, genetically regulated, but all the genes involved are not known. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine able...

IL-10 gene polymorphism and herpesvirus infections
Hurme M, Haanpaa M, Nurmikko T, Wang X, Virta M, Pessi T, et al.
J Med Virol . 2003 Mar; 70 Suppl 1:S48-50. PMID: 12627487
Genetics has an important role in resistance to various infections and it also may modify the clinical picture of an infectious disease. Here, we briefly review our recent data demonstrating...

Interleukin-10 gene promoter region polymorphism is associated with eosinophil count and circulating immunoglobulin E in adult asthma
Karjalainen J, Hulkkonen J, Nieminen M, Huhtala H, Aromaa A, Klaukka T, et al.
Clin Exp Allergy . 2003 Jan; 33(1):78-83. PMID: 12534553
Background: IL-10 has several functional effects relevant to asthma. It can modulate IgE production and induce apoptosis in eosinophils. Polymorphisms of IL-10 gene have been shown to affect IL-10 production....
