To investigate the intra- and extracellular levels of various cytokines and chemokines in CSF in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and vasculitic neuropathy (VN), 16 cytokines, IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 (p70), IL-13, IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, G-CSF, MCP-1 and MIP-1beta, were measured in CSF supernatant by a multiplexed fluorescent bead-based immunoassay and intracellular production of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in CSF CD4+ T cells were simultaneously measured by flow cytometry in 14 patients with CIDP, 8 patients with VN and 25 patients with other noninflammatory neurologic diseases (OND). In the CSF supernatant, a significant increase of IL-17, IL-8 and IL-6, and a significant decrease of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-7 levels were detected in pretreated CIDP as compared with OND. A significant increase of IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 levels was found in pretreated VN. Both IL-17 and IL-8 levels correlated strongly with CSF protein levels in CIDP, although the correlation of IL-6 levels was weak. In CSF CD4+ T cells, IFN-gamma+ IL-4- cell percentages were markedly elevated in CIDP compared with OND, but not in VN, resulting in a significant increase of intracellular IFN-gamma/IL-4 ratio in CIDP, even in the absence of CSF pleocytosis. The nonresponders to intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) showed a significantly lower IFN-gamma- IL-4+ CD4+ T cell percentage, and tended to have a higher intracellular IFN-gamma/IL-4 ratio than the responders in CSF. Marked upregulation of Th1 cytokine, IL-17, and downregulation of Th2 cytokines, together with infiltration of IFN-gamma-producing CD4+ T cells are useful markers for CIDP, while several Th2 cytokines are upregulated in VN in CSF.
为研究慢性炎性脱髓鞘性多发性神经病(CIDP)和血管炎性神经病(VN)患者脑脊液(CSF)中多种细胞因子和趋化因子的细胞内及细胞外水平,采用基于荧光微球的多重免疫分析法检测了14例CIDP患者、8例VN患者及25例其他非炎性神经系统疾病(OND)患者CSF上清液中16种细胞因子,即白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、IL-2、IL-4、IL-5、IL-6、IL-7、IL-8、IL-10、IL-12(p70)、IL-13、IL-17、干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)、单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)和巨噬细胞炎性蛋白-1β(MIP-1β),并同时通过流式细胞术检测CSF中CD4⁺T细胞内IFN-γ和IL-4的产生情况。在CSF上清液中,与OND相比,预处理后的CIDP患者IL-17、IL-8和IL-6水平显著升高,IL-4、IL-5和IL-7水平显著降低。预处理后的VN患者IL-6、IL-8和IL-10水平显著升高。在CIDP中,IL-17和IL-8水平均与CSF蛋白水平密切相关,尽管IL-6水平的相关性较弱。在CSF CD4⁺T细胞中,与OND相比,CIDP患者IFN-γ⁺IL-4⁻细胞百分比显著升高,但VN患者无此现象,即使在CSF无细胞增多的情况下,CIDP患者细胞内IFN-γ/IL-4比值仍显著升高。静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)治疗无反应者CSF中IFN-γ⁻IL-4⁺CD4⁺T细胞百分比显著降低,且细胞内IFN-γ/IL-4比值往往高于有反应者。Th1细胞因子IL-17的显著上调和Th2细胞因子的下调,以及产生IFN-γ的CD4⁺T细胞浸润是CIDP的有用标志物,而在VN患者的CSF中几种Th2细胞因子上调。
