Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disorder. Various cytokines take part in the pathogenesis of this disease. Interleukin (IL)-38, a new member of IL-1 cytokine family, has been reported to have antiinflammatory properties; however, its role in BD has not been investigated yet. In this study, we aimed to examine the probable role of IL-38 in the clinical context of BD. A total of 81 patients with BD and 81 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects as controls were included in this study. The serum levels of IL-38 were measured in patients and controls sera using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relationship between the serum levels of IL-38 and clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patients were determined. IL-38 serum levels were significantly lower in patients in comparison with healthy controls at P = 0.003. We found significant differences between IL-38 levels in BD patients with positive and negative pathergy tests (P = 0.048) and patients with and without eye involvement (P = 0.046). Despite the absence of significant differences in serum levels between male and female patients, IL-38 levels were higher in female patients with a positive pathergy test (P = 0.048) and those patients with eye involvement (P = 0.046). As healthy controls showed higher IL-38 serum levels than patients, a protective anti-inflammatory role of IL-38 in BD is suggested. Together, these results suggest that the positive relationship between IL-38 serum levels and eye involvement that IL-38 may play a role in this clinical feature of the disease.

白塞病患者的IL-38血清水平及其与临床特征的关系。

白塞氏病(BD)是一种慢性多系统自身免疫性疾病。多种细胞因子参与该疾病的发病机理。白介素(IL)-38是IL-1细胞因子家族的新成员,据报道具有抗炎作用。然而,其在BD中的作用尚未得到研究。在这项研究中,我们旨在检查IL-38在BD临床背景中的可能作用。这项研究总共包括81例BD患者和81例年龄和性别相匹配的健康受试者。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法测量患者和对照血清中的IL-38血清水平。确定了血清IL-38水平与患者临床和实验室特征之间的关系。与健康对照组相比,患者的IL-38血清水平显着降低,P = 0.003。我们发现在具有阳性和阴性病理测试的BD患者(P = 0.048)与有眼和无眼受累的BD患者(P = 0.046)中,IL-38水平存在显着差异。尽管男性和女性患者之间的血清水平没有显着差异,但病理反应阳性的女性患者(P = 0.048)和眼睛受累的女性(P = 0.046)的IL-38水平较高。由于健康对照组的IL-38血清水平高于患者,因此提示IL-38在BD中具有保护性抗炎作用。总之,这些结果表明,IL-38血清水平与眼睛受累之间存在正相关关系,即IL-38可能在该疾病的这一临床特征中起作用。048)以及有无眼部受累的患者(P = 0.046)。尽管男性和女性患者之间的血清水平没有显着差异,但病理反应阳性的女性患者(P = 0.048)和眼睛受累的女性(P = 0.046)的IL-38水平较高。由于健康对照组的IL-38血清水平高于患者,因此提示IL-38在BD中具有保护性抗炎作用。总之,这些结果表明,IL-38血清水平与眼睛受累之间存在正相关关系,即IL-38可能在该疾病的这一临床特征中起作用。048)以及有无眼部受累的患者(P = 0.046)。尽管男性和女性患者之间的血清水平没有显着差异,但病理反应阳性的女性患者(P = 0.048)和眼睛受累的女性(P = 0.046)的IL-38水平较高。由于健康对照组的IL-38血清水平高于患者,因此提示IL-38在BD中具有保护性抗炎作用。总之,这些结果表明,IL-38血清水平与眼睛受累之间存在正相关关系,即IL-38可能在该疾病的这一临床特征中起作用。048)和那些有眼部受累的患者(P = 0.046)。由于健康对照组的IL-38血清水平高于患者,因此提示IL-38在BD中具有保护性抗炎作用。总之,这些结果表明IL-38血清水平与眼睛受累之间存在正相关关系,即IL-38可能在该疾病的这一临床特征中起作用。048)和那些有眼部受累的患者(P = 0.046)。由于健康对照组的IL-38血清水平高于患者,因此提示IL-38在BD中具有保护性抗炎作用。总之,这些结果表明,IL-38血清水平与眼睛受累之间存在正相关关系,即IL-38可能在该疾病的这一临床特征中起作用。
