Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a cell damage-induced alarmin. The plasma concentration of suppression of tumorogenicity (sST2), a surrogate marker of IL-33 production, is a prognostic marker of cardiovascular disease.
Recently, we reported that sST2 plasma levels were elevated in early HIV-1 infection and linked to markers of microbial translocation and of T cell activation.
Here we show that it is not the case in patients with suppressed viremia. Thus, IL-33 plays its alarmin role only during the early phase of the infection.
白细胞介素-33(IL-33)是一种细胞损伤诱导的警报素。肿瘤抑制素(sST2)是IL-33产生的替代标志物,其血浆浓度是心血管疾病的预后标志物。
最近,我们报道在早期HIV-1感染中sST2血浆水平升高,并与微生物易位和T细胞活化标志物相关。
在此我们表明,病毒血症得到抑制的患者并非如此。因此,IL-33仅在感染的早期阶段发挥其警报素作用。
