In this study we investigated whether plasma level of IL-2 or sIL-2R shows the clinical disease status.
Plasma levels of IL-2 and sIL-2R were measured by ELISA in 23 patients with limited scleroderma (1SSc-acrosclerosis) and compared with 12 healthy women.
Plasma levels of sIL-2R in the group of patients with severe internal organs involvement (3446.1 +/- 1329.7 pg/ml) were significantly higher compared with those with minimal internal organs involvement (1606.4 +/- 507.3 pg/ml). Plasma level of IL-2 in the group of patients with severe internal organs involvement (8.12 +/- 7.77 pg/ml) did not differ much from that of the patients with minimal internal organs involvement (7.42 +/- 9.28 pg/ml). Treatment with pentoxyfilline did not influence the plasma levels of IL-2 and sIL-2R.
We concluded that elevated plasma levels of IL-2 and sIL-2R are markers of internal organ involvement in scleroderma.
在本研究中,我们调查了白细胞介素-2(IL-2)或可溶性白细胞介素-2受体(sIL-2R)的血浆水平是否显示临床疾病状态。
采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)测量了23例局限性硬皮病(1型系统性硬化症-肢端硬化型)患者的IL-2和sIL-2R血浆水平,并与12名健康女性进行比较。
严重内脏受累患者组的sIL-2R血浆水平(3446.1±1329.7 pg/ml)显著高于轻度内脏受累患者组(1606.4±507.3 pg/ml)。严重内脏受累患者组的IL-2血浆水平(8.12±7.77 pg/ml)与轻度内脏受累患者组(7.42±9.28 pg/ml)差异不大。己酮可可碱治疗对IL-2和sIL-2R的血浆水平没有影响。
我们得出结论,IL-2和sIL-2R血浆水平升高是硬皮病内脏受累的标志物。
