To determine interleukin (IL)-17 concentrations in serum and synovial fluid from patients with knee osteoarthritis, and evaluate their correlation with disease severity.
Serum and synovial fluid were collected from patients with primary knee osteoarthritis; age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects provided serum samples. This study was conducted retrospectively. IL-17 was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Osteoarthritis severity and grade were assessed using the Lequesne index and Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grading system, respectively.
Serum IL-17 concentrations were significantly higher in patients (n = 98) than in controls (n = 50). In the patient group, the synovial fluid IL-17 concentration increased significantly with KL grade and was significantly positively correlated with Lequesne index (r = 0.6232).
The synovial fluid IL-17 concentration could represent a useful biochemical marker to reflect knee osteoarthritis severity and progression.
测定膝骨关节炎患者血清和滑液中白细胞介素(IL)-17的浓度,并评估其与疾病严重程度的相关性。
收集原发性膝骨关节炎患者的血清和滑液;年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者提供血清样本。本研究为回顾性研究。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法对IL-17进行定量。分别使用Lequesne指数和Kellgren-Lawrence(KL)分级系统评估骨关节炎的严重程度和等级。
患者(n = 98)血清IL-17浓度显著高于对照组(n = 50)。在患者组中,滑液IL-17浓度随KL分级显著升高,且与Lequesne指数显著正相关(r = 0.6232)。
滑液IL-17浓度可能是反映膝骨关节炎严重程度和进展的有用生化标志物。
