The aim of this study was to investigate mucosal expression of INF-gamma and IL-10 in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC).
Fourteen patients with CD and 11 patients with ulcerative colitis participated and 7 healthy subjects were also included. Study of the mucosal expression of INF-gamma and IL-10 was conducted using biopsies from healthy and damaged colons, using the inverse transcription and genetic amplification (RT-PCR) technique in real time (Taqman). Our results were expressed as ratio between messenger cytokine (mRNA) levels and ribosomal RNA level of a reference molecule (rRNA 18S), then multiplied by 108.
In the cases of Crohn's disease, the mucosa expressed increased INF-gamma and IL-10 compared with controls (respective medians: 23.03 vs. 1.87 p=0.04 and 20.61 vs. 2.13 p=0.08). A strong positive correlation was found in the mucosal expression of IL-10 and INF-gamma during CD (r=0.9 p<0.0001). In contrast, in patients with UC, the expression of INF-gamma and IL-10 were comparable to those observed in the controls (7.18 vs. 2.18 p=0.36 and 3.66 vs. 1.87 p=0.44).
During Crohn's disease, the expression of both IL-10 and INF-gamma was increased and strongly correlated, compared with the controls.
本研究旨在调查克罗恩病(CD)或溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者中γ干扰素(INF-γ)和白细胞介素-10(IL-10)的黏膜表达情况。
14例克罗恩病患者和11例溃疡性结肠炎患者参与研究,另纳入7名健康受试者。采用实时逆转录和基因扩增(RT-PCR)技术(Taqman法),对取自健康结肠和病变结肠的活检组织进行INF-γ和IL-10黏膜表达研究。我们的结果表示为信使细胞因子(mRNA)水平与参考分子(18S核糖体RNA,rRNA)的核糖体RNA水平之比,然后乘以108。
在克罗恩病病例中,与对照组相比,黏膜中INF-γ和IL-10表达增加(各自中位数:23.03对1.87,p=0.04;20.61对2.13,p=0.08)。在克罗恩病期间,IL-10和INF-γ的黏膜表达呈强正相关(r=0.9,p<0.0001)。相比之下,在溃疡性结肠炎患者中,INF-γ和IL-10的表达与对照组相当(7.18对2.18,p=0.36;3.66对1.87,p=0.44)。
与对照组相比,在克罗恩病期间,IL-10和INF-γ的表达均增加且呈强相关。
