Interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-2 may participate in the systemic inflammatory response and hypergammaglobulinaemia observed in patients with cystic fibrosis. Thirty seven patients with cystic fibrosis were compared with 25 normal controls. High IgG and IgM concentrations were associated with more severe pulmonary disease. IL-1 alpha and soluble IL-2 receptor concentrations were higher in the cystic fibrosis group than in the controls and also correlated with concentrations of IgG and IgM. These results suggest that these cytokines may contribute to enhanced immunoglobulin synthesis and silent inflammatory activity in clinically stable patients with cystic fibrosis.
白细胞介素(IL)-1和IL-2可能参与了囊性纤维化患者出现的全身炎症反应和高丙种球蛋白血症。将37例囊性纤维化患者与25名正常对照者进行了比较。高IgG和IgM浓度与更严重的肺部疾病相关。囊性纤维化组的IL-1α和可溶性IL-2受体浓度高于对照组,且与IgG和IgM浓度相关。这些结果表明,这些细胞因子可能有助于临床稳定的囊性纤维化患者增强免疫球蛋白合成和隐匿性炎症活动。
