背景和目的:造血干细胞具有自我更新、多向分化与重建长期造血的潜能,因此,造血干细胞广泛应用于干细胞移植、免疫治疗、基因治疗等领域.胎儿脐带血中富含造血干细胞,但单份脐带血中造血干细胞的数量有限,不能充分满足临床和科研需要,因此在体外培养使脐带血干/祖细胞数量扩增的研究日益受到重视.已知一些细胞因子可以在体外培养中使脐血干/祖细胞大量扩增.新近发现IL-6/sIL-6R(可溶性IL-6受体)或其融合蛋白可促使脐带血CD34+细胞中CD34+gp130+IL-6R-细胞亚群在体外培养中大量扩增.本实验旨在观察IL-6/sIL-6R在脐带血CD34+细胞体外扩增中的作用,并探讨合适细胞因子组合.方法:脐血CD34+细胞用Mini MACS分离,然后在含有不同细胞因子组合的液体培养基中体外培养7天或14天,培养前后分别进行有核细胞计数、用FCM(流式细胞术)测定CD34+细胞比例计算CD34+细胞总数及进行CFU-GM集落培养.根据不同细胞因子组合分为空白对照组,SCF组,SCF+IL-6/sIL-6R组,SCF+FL+IL-6/sIL-6R组,SCF+FL组.结果:空白对照组和SCF组CD34+细胞数量在培养7天或14天后明显下降.SCF+IL-6/sIL-6R组培养7、14天分别使有核细胞及CD34+细胞绝对数扩增(7.1±2.4)倍、(39.0±14.0)倍及(1.8±0.7)倍、(4.8±2.4)倍;SCF+FL+IL-6/sIL-6R组(16.5±5.7)倍、(110.0±28.0)倍及(3.5±1.5)倍、(10.2±4.2)倍;SCF+FL组(17.3±3.8)倍、(104.0±21.0)倍及(3.6±2.1)倍、(8.4±3.5)倍.上述三组与对照组及SCF组差异均有显著性(P<0.01),其中SCF+FL+IL-6/sIL-6R组和SCF+FL组扩增效果优于SCF+IL-6/sIL-6R组(P<0.01),但是SCF+FL+IL-6/sIL-6R组和SCF+FL组之间差异无显著性(P>0.05).增加sIL-6R浓度,当sIL-6R浓度为400 ng/ml时,细胞培养7天,SCF+FL+IL-6/sIL-6R组分别使有核细胞及CD34+细胞绝对数扩增(24.0±4.8)倍、(5.6±1.2)倍,优于SCF+FL组(P<0.05).结论:IL-6/sIL-6R可以和SCF、FL产生协同作用,使人脐血CD34+细胞在体外扩增、并维持其分化潜能.但这种协同作用对sIL-6R的浓度存在一定依赖性. 相似文献

Serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) have been evaluated in 33 patients with chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of T-lymphocytes, including 12 T-helper phenotype chronic lymphocytic leukemias (Th-CLL) and 21 lymphoproliferative diseases of granular lymphocytes (LDGL). All Th-CLL cases were negative for antibodies against type I human T-leukemia virus (HTLV-I). Serum levels of sIL-2R were significantly increased in patients with Th-CLL with respect to controls (P less than 0.02) and this increase was related to the clinical course of the disease. In fact, patients with rapidly progressive disease (mean survival, 11.6 +/- 3 months) showed significantly higher concentrations of sIL-2R than patients with less aggressive disease (mean survival, 39.5 +/- 5 months) (16,223 U/ml +/- 5612 versus 1447 U/ml +/- 817; P less than 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between sIL-2R concentrations and the number of CD4-positive cells (r = 0.64; P less than 0.05). These data point to the possible use of sIL-2R levels as a marker of active malignancy in patients with Th-CLL. Patients with LDGL showed increased sIL-2R values (721 U/ml +/- 112) with respect to controls (334 U/ml +/- 28; P less than 0.005). However, the sIL-2R levels were lower than those detected in Th-CLL patients (P less than 0.05). Among the different correlations the authors tried to establish, the only observed difference was found between serum sIL-2R levels in the group of CD3+ LDGL patients with respect to CD3- LDGL cases (P less than 0.05). 相似文献

Objective: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease that needs better recognition and further research. Previous studies elucidated the interaction between myeloma cells and showed the necessity of bone marrow stromal cells for the initiation and progression of MM. Many chemokines and their receptors including interleukin-8 (IL-8) and soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) play important roles in this interaction. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the serum level of IL-8 and sIL-6R on stage-I of MM patients and healthy controls. Methods: Serum samples from 30 stage-I MM patients (13 males and 17 females) and 30 healthy subjects as controls (13 males and 17 females) were examined in this study. The protein concentrations of serum IL-8 and sIL-6R were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The mean level of IL-8 and sIL-6R were significantly elevated in stage-I MM. The mean levels of IL-8 were 1246.57±279.22 ng/ml in stage-I MM and 902.53± 294.61 ng/ml in controls (P<0.001). The mean levels of sIL-6R were 5.39±1.38 ng/ml and 4.1±1.14 ng/ml in stage-I MM and controls, respectively (P<0.001). The mean levels of IL-8 were 1342.18±193.4 ng/ml in patient females and 859± 278.2ng/ml in control females (P <0.001). The mean levels of sIL-6R were 5.21±1.55 ng/ml and 3.91±1.22 ng/ml in patient females and control females, respectively (P=0.01). The mean level of sIL-6R in patient males and control males were 5.63±1.43 ng/ml and 4.34±1.04 ng/ml, respectively (P=0.01). A significant correlation (Pearson’s correlation = 0.45, P=0.008) was observed in the population of females (patients and controls). Conclusion: The results of study suggest the possible involvement of IL-8 and the sIL-6R at stage-I MM and can better characterize the role of chemokines and their receptors in the disease process, especially in the early stages. 相似文献

We have previously shown that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) increases the number of CFU-GM colonies grown from unseparated human bone marrow cells with crude sources of colony stimulating factors. In this study, we further characterized the effect of ATRA on the growth of CFU-GM stimulated by individual cytokines from multiple samples of CD34+ enriched or purified human bone marrow cells. The number of IL-3- or GM-CSF-induced CFU-GM with 3 x 10(-7) M ATRA was 3.25+/-1.13, and 2.17+/-0.8-fold greater respectively, compared to controls without ATRA, while G-CSF had no effect and the ratio of colony-induced with or without ATRA was 1.06+/-0.17 (P = 0.00012). No colonies grew with ATRA + IL-6 or ATRA without a cytokine. Maximum enhancing effect on IL-3-induced CFU-GM occurred when ATRA was added on day 2, gradually diminished when delaying ATRA, and in cultures of day 9 or older adding ATRA had no effect. In 14 days liquid cultures of purified CD34+ cells with IL-3, ATRA increased the number of myeloid differentiated cells to 91-95%, compared to 37-70% with IL-3 alone. In addition, the number of apoptotic cells using the annexin V method increased after 14 days from 5.1% with IL-3 to 17.1% with IL-3 + ATRA and by the TUNEL in situ method from 10-26% to 60-95%, respectively. This study demonstrates that ATRA consistently enhances the growth of myeloid progenitors from CD34+ cells. This effect is dependent on the stimulating cytokine, suggesting the myeloid cells responding to ATRA are the less mature CFU-GMs that are targets of IL-3 and GM-CSF and not the G-CSF-responding mature progenitors. The growth stimulation by ATRA and IL-3 is also associated with granulocyte differentiation and increased apoptosis. These studies further suggest a potential role of pharmacological doses of ATRA on the development of normal human hematopoietic cells. 相似文献

In local or metastatic cancer, a prognostic tumour marker could be a valuable tool in the selection of different treatments. In renal cell cancer (RCC) no such markers have been available. We therefore evaluated the association between several pretreatment serum markers, tumour classification and short term survival in RCC patients. Serum samples were collected before surgery and three months thereafter from 24 RCC patients. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL- 12, soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) were measured in serum samples using specific commercial enzyme immunoassay kits. Serum IL-6, sIL-2R and sICAM-1 levels before nephrectomy were significantly higher in non-local tumours than in local ones (mean IL-6 53 pg/ml versus 6.3 pg/ml, and sICAM-1 443 ng/ml versus 290 ng/ml, sIL-2R 3779 pg/ml versus 1796 pg/ml). In contrast, IL-12 levels were higher in local tumours (148 versus 102 pg/ml) and the levels increased significantly (P < 0.005) after removal of the primary tumour in patients with local disease. All patients with local tumours had normal IL-6 values, while only one with a non-local tumour had IL-6 levels below 10 pg/ml. In addition, IL-6 and sICAM-1 levels before operation were significantly higher in patients with short (less than one year) survival (p=0.007 to IL-6 and p=0.006 to sICAM-1). In contrast, patients with shorter survival had significantly lower IL-12 (p=0.03) levels. Our findings suggest that RCC induces changes in several immunological parameters. These soluble immunological factors, IL-6, IL-12, sIL-2R and sICAM-1, might have a role as prognostic factors in RCC. 相似文献

Serum interleukin-2 (IL-2), soluble IL-2 receptors (sIL-2R) and tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-alpha) levels were determined in 66 previously untreated consecutive patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in 22 normal volunteers. The following mean (+/- SE) values were observed in patients and controls, respectively: 35 +/- 14.7 (range 0.5-500) and 0.7 +/- 0.02 (0.5-0.8 U/ml for IL-2 (p = 0.001); 1622 +/- 289 (110-10,600) and 422 +/- 30 (207-666) U/ml for sIL-2R (p = 0.0001); 1247 +/- 196 (218-4672) and 152 +/- 11 (75-308) pg/ml for TNF-alpha (p = 0.0001). With respect to the FAB classification system, we found a significantly different distribution of serum IL-2 mean values in distinct subcategories, i.e. 3.4 +/- 1.9 U/ml in M1-M2-M3 and 42.4 +/- 20.4 U/ml in M4-M5 subgroups, respectively (p = 0.01), whereas sIL-2R and TNF-alpha levels were 1144 +/- 322 U/ml and 1120 +/- 317 pg/ml in M1-M2-M3 patients and 1945 +/- 317 U/ml and 1270 +/- 259 pg/ml in the M4-M5 group. A significantly positive correlation between TNF-alpha and sIL-2R (r = 0.53; p = 0.002) was also detected in the M4-M5 group. Sixty-three out of 66 patients received an intensive chemotherapy program. Univariate analysis showed that age and sIL-2R greater than 2000 U/ml significantly affected both complete remission rate and overall survival, whereas by multivariate analysis, age was the only independent variable significantly influencing survival. These data confirm recent in vitro evidence suggesting the role of IL-2, sIL-2R, and TNF-alpha in the control of normal hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis. Since the availability of recombinant cytokines for clinical use in AML, it is crucial to understand their spectrum of interaction in order to select the appropriate combination for in vivo administration. 相似文献

Administration of stem cell factor (SCF) has been proven to enhance cytokine-induced mobilization of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) into the peripheral blood (PB). The aim of the present study was to explore in a homogeneous group of 22 uniformly treated breast cancer patients: (1) the kinetics of mobilization into PB of both CD34+ and CD34- cell subsets, including dendritic cells, in sequential samples obtained from day +7 up to day +12 after mobilization; and (2) the composition of the CD34+ and CD34- cell subsets present in the two leukapheresis products obtained for each patient. The following CD34+ and CD34- subsets were analyzed: early CD34+ HPC, erythroid-, myeloid- and B-lymphoid-committed CD34+ precursor cells, mature T, B and NK cells, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and dendritic cells (DC) including three subsets of lin-/HLADR+DC (CD16+, CD33high and CD123high). Our results show that the absolute number of PB CD34+ HPC progressively increases from day +7 onwards. As far as the CD34- PB leukocyte subsets are concerned, monocytes (CD14+) displayed the earliest recovery after mobilization predicting neutrophil recovery 1 day in advance. The number of CD34+ HPC collected in a single leukapheresis product was always > or = 1.4 x 10(6) cells/kg body weight. No significant changes were observed between the two leukapheresis sessions either as regards their composition in CD34+ HPC subsets or their CD34- leukocyte populations except for a higher ratio of both CD34+ erythroid/CD34+ myeloid HPC (0.35 +/- 0.13 vs 0.30 +/- 0.13; P = 0.04) and neutrophils/monocytes (1.58 +/- 2.1 vs 0.69 +/- 0.27; P = 0.009) found for the first leukapheresis. Interestingly, the overall number of dendritic cells (DC) was higher in the second leukapheresis (1.06 +/- 0.56 vs 1.9 +/- 0.46; P = 0.02) due to a selective increase of the CD16+ antigen-presenting cells. In summary, our results show that the combination of cyclophosphamide, G-CSF and SCF is highly effective for stem cell mobilization, with differences observed in the mobilization kinetics of the different hematopoietic cell subsets analyzed. 相似文献

CD44 is a widely expressed cell surface glycoprotein with various functions. This molecule is shed from the cell surface and released as a soluble molecule. High serum levels of CD44 have been demonstrated in some solid tumours. In this study we measured serum CD44 in 25 patients with acute leukemia, in 12 with bacterial infections, and in 13 normal controls. The levels of serum CD44 of patients with bacterial infections were significantly higher (mean 531.3+/-60.1 ng/ml, p<0.001) than those of normal controls (299. 0+/-115.4 ng/ml). Acute leukemia patients before treatment had almost four-fold higher levels of serum CD44 than normal controls (mean 1301.9+/-1384.6 ng/ml, p<0.01). Serum CD44 levels were correlated with clinical status. After treatment the serum CD44 levels significantly decreased, but they were still higher than in normal controls. Patients in complete remission all relapsed if serum CD44 levels were higher than 500 ng/ml (normal+2 SD) after chemotherapy. The serum CD44 levels were correlated with the absolute numbers of leukemic cells in peripheral blood. The results demonstrated that serum CD44 levels correlate well with the clinical status of acute leukemia, and such evaluation may provide a reliable tumour marker of acute leukemia. 相似文献

Cytokines play important roles in the pathogenesis of lymphomas. The aim of this study was to determine the relations between serum levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, and IL-10 and parameters of International Prognostic Index (IPI). Serum levels of IL-2, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in the pretreatment frozen sera from 43 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patients we included in the study were divided into two groups, one with high risk and the other with low risk according to the IPI in regard to their ages, stages, performance status, extranodal involvements, and serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase. In the high-risk group, serum levels of IL-2 (0.852 +/- 0.268 ng/ml), IL-6 (0.461 +/- 0.206 ng/ml), and IL-10 (0.816 +/- 0.240 ng/ml) were found to be higher than serum levels of IL-2 (0.667 +/- 0.170 ng/ml), IL-6 (0.355 +/- 0.075 ng/ml), and IL-10 (0.643+0.177 ng/ml) in the low-risk group ( < 0.05). There was a correlation between the patients with high risk according to the IPI criteria and high levels of serum cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10). Knowledge of the serum levels of these cytokines in patients with newly diagnosed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may help us to have some information about the possible prognosis, the activation of disease, and to decide on appropriate therapeutic approaches for individual patients. 相似文献

Immune parameters, including cytokine levels and CD profiles were determined in 78 renal cell carcinoma patients (RCC) prior to nephrectomy. The values were correlated with the outcome of disease and response to cytokine-based treatment during a 3-year follow-up. Significantly lower frequency of progressions and higher proportion of survivors were recorded in 24 treated patients compared to 43 untreated ones (22.9% vs. 53.5% and 82.9% vs. 55.8%) illustrating the beneficial effect of immunotherapy on the course of RCC at localized stage. RCC-related immune changes are demonstrated by reduced proportion of CD19+, CD28+, HLA-DR+, CD19+/80+ and CD8+/28+ subsets, by increased serum levels of IL-6, sIL-2R, CRP and by impaired production of IL-2 and TNF-alpha released by in vitro stimulated PBMC. Only increased CRP, IL-6 serum values, decreased CD8+ and increased CD122+ were significantly related to patients' prognosis. Comparisons of preoperative CD profiles and cytokine values with the response to IL-2/IFN-alpha based therapy disclosed significant correlation in only CD80+ and CD19+/80+ subsets. Treated patients who relapsed during the 3-year follow-up exhibited at the diagnosis significantly reduced proportion of CD80+ and CD19+/80+ cells (CD80+ means - 0.79 vs. 1.69 and CD19+/80+ means - 0.32 vs. 0.61) comparing to those surviving disease-free. In addition initial proportion of CD3+, CD8+ and CD19+ cells was reduced in treated patients who manifested progression but statistical difference from those remaining disease-free was not proved. 相似文献

We attempted to analyze whether the use of high-dose cyclophosphamide (CTX 7g/m2, group A) plus hematopoietic growth factor (G-CSF) or G-CSF alone (10 microg/Kg, group B) as a mobilizing regimen, could result in harvesting different numbers of CD34+ cells, committed progenitors and CD34+ cells subsets. The number of CD34+ cells considered as the target for each high-dose chemotherapy was > or = 2 x 10(6) /Kg/bw. Fifteen leukaphereses procedures were necessary in group A, while 16 procedures were performed in group B. We did not observe any difference between the two groups in terms of CD34+ cells/microl in the peripheral blood (117 vs 78; p = NS), whereas in the aphereses product we found a significant difference between the two groups of patients in terms of CD34+ cells (6.41 vs 2.89 x 10(6) /Kg/bw; p = .009), CFU-GM (82.5 vs 52.3 x 10(4) /Kg/bw; p = .04). Interestingly, we noted a different distribution of CD34+/33- cells between the 2 groups (mean value 39% vs 65%; p < .05), whereas we did not find any differences regarding CD34+/38-, CD34+/Thy1+, CD34+/HLADR-. The higher number of CFU-GM/Kg/bw collected in the former group did not translate into a superior plating efficiency (27.75 vs 30.29). Furthermore, we observed a strong correlation between CD34+ cells/microl in the peripheral blood and the total number of CD34+ cells in the leukaphereses product (r = 0.97), whereas this correlation was not found in group B (r = 0.15). In both groups of patients the number of CD34+ cells collected correlated well with CFU-GM (r = 0.93; r = 0.94), but definitely we did not observe any correlation between CD34+ cells/microl and CFU-GM in patients mobilized with G-CSF alone and this did not allow us to predict the harvest accurately. Finally, we evaluated the engraftment kinetics and we did not observe any statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients. 相似文献

Serum concentrations of soluble interleukin-2 receptor in patients with malignant brain tumors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Interleukin-2 receptor alpha (IL-2Ralpha) can combine with IL-2 firmly, and soluble IL-2Ralpha (sIL-2Ralpha) is elevated in sera from patients with various types of cancers. To investigate the role of this receptor, we studied the changes of serum sIL-2Ralpha in patients with malignant brain tumors. METHODS: SIL-2Ralpha was measured in 100 patients with malignant brain tumors (63 cancer metastasis, 16 malignant gliomas, 21 malignant lymphomas), and 51 patients with cancer who had no distant metastasis such as brain metastasis. RESULTS: In patients with 35 metastatic brain tumors from lung cancer, the levels of sIL-2Ralpha were not significantly different from levels in normal volunteers (311 +/- 62.4 U/ml). In patients with 25 metastatic brain tumors from lung adenocarcinoma, the mean level of serum sIL-2Ralpha was 352 +/- 94.0 U/ml. These same patients showed high levels of serum sIL-2Ralpha (492 +/- 101 U/ml) with regional lymph nodes metastasis. Serum sIL-2Ralpha concentration in 16 patients with malignant glioma varied greatly with the mean concentration of 328 +/- 192 U/ml. In 5 of 16 patients with malignant glioma, we could detect the significant increase of serum sIL-2Ralpha concentration from early stage of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Serum levels of sIL-2Ralpha could be a useful immunological marker in patients with malignant brain tumors. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is assessed by using indexes based on clinical and instrumental parameters. The Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP) staging system combines the Child-Pugh classification with tumor size, portal invasion, and alpha-fetoprotein and predicts the outcome of HCC patients more precisely than the Okuda staging system. Serum levels of a number of biological variables have been found to be increased in patients with HCC and are associated with different outcomes. Our aims in this study were to test the prognostic role of the serum levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and anti-p53 and to assess whether the addition of any of the above serum markers could further improve the predictive ability of the CLIP score. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Serum levels of sICAM-1, sIL-2R, IL-6, and anti-p53 were assayed in 80 patients with HCC and correlated with their outcomes. Nonparametric procedures were applied to test correlations between serum sICAM-1, sIL-2R, IL-6, anti-p53, and other prognostic factors. For survival analyses, the product-limit method, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards model were applied. RESULTS: Only serum levels of sIL-2R correlated with survival, which was longer for patients with lower values (< or =950 units/ml). However, with multivariate analysis sIL-2R did not confirm its predictive role when tested with the CLIP score as a covariate, with a hazard of death of 1.51 (95% confidence interval, 0.76-3.01). CONCLUSIONS: Serum levels of sICAM-1, sIL-2R, IL-6, and anti-p53 are not useful as prognostic factors for HCC in clinical practice. They do not improve the predictive ability of the CLIP score. 相似文献

The notable increase of the circulating granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (PB CFU-GM) during bone marrow recovery following chemotherapy is a well known phenomenon. It has led to consider harvesting a large number of autologous stem cells by cytapheresis. Daily assessments have been conducted on the PB CFU-GM level in 9 patients with acute leukemia at the time of bone marrow regeneration after the first induction course in order to identify the circumstances of this rise. The PB CFU-GM maximum peak, of an average of 2142/ml, occurs between day 17 and day 23 after the chemotherapy has ended. A ten-fold increase of the PB CFU-GM level above normal values is maintained between 2 and 10 days. The PB CFU-GM peak coincides with that of the circulating immature myeloid cells and monocytes. The platelet rise above 100 X 10(9)/1 always occurs 2-7 days before the PB CFU-GM peak. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to determine the diagnostic utility of the serum levels of the soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) as a tumor marker of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and to investigate the cellular source of sIL-2R using immunohistochemical staining. The serum sIL-2R levels of 37 samples from suspected PCNSL patients were measured. There were 13 patients with PCNSL and 24 patients with other diseases such as glioma, metastatic tumor, inflammation, or cerebrovascular disease. The serum sIL-2R levels of the PCNSL cases and other brain diseases were 629.5 ± 586.0 U/ml (mean ± SD; range 189–2220 U/ml) and 408.5 ± 250.7 U/ml (160–837 U/ml), respectively. The serum sIL-2R levels of the two groups overlapped, and hence the difference between them was not significant. sIL-2R is the α subunit of IL-2R. It is also known as CD25, and is cleaved from its position in the cell membrane and released into the blood. CD25 expression was immunohistochemically detected in 7 of 11 PCNSL samples. Confocal laser microscopy revealed that CD25 signals were present in atypical cells and mononuclear cells. We concluded that both lymphoma cells and infiltrating T cells express CD25, which is one of the cellular sources of sIL-2R. 相似文献

Pleural fluid and serum soluble Interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) were measured by an enzyme-immunoassay in 13 patients with tuberculous pleurisy, in 28 patients with carcinomatous pleurisy and in 17 transudates from patients with congestive heart failure. Significantly higher values of sIL-2R were observed in exudative than in transudative (mean +/- SEM = 713 +/- 111 U/ml) pleural fluid samples, the highest being found in tuberculous (3777 +/- 501 U/ml) and the intermediate in carcinomatous exudates (1981 +/- 160 U/ml) (p less than 0.0001; on way ANOVA). Serum sIL-2R were significantly higher in carcinomatous and transudative groups than in age- and sex- matched controls (p less than 0.002; one way ANOVA), while there was no significant difference between the tuberculous group and controls. The pleural/serum sIL-2R ratio was significantly higher in tuberculous (5.32 +/- 0.60), than in carcinomatous pleurisy (2.67 +/- 0.20) and higher still than in transudates (0.76 +/- 0.10) (p less than 0.001; one way ANOVA). In conclusion, the pleura/serum sIL-2R ratio may be a helpful parameter in differentiating tuberculous from carcinomatous pleurisy and an additional confirmatory one for distinguishing transudates from exudates. 相似文献

We investigated the correlations between serum levels of selected proinflammatory, hematopoietic and angiogenic cytokines and soluble cytokine receptors with the clinico-pathological features and prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma patients. Serum levels of 9 cytokines (TNFalpha, IL-1ra, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, M-CSF, G-CSF, VEGF, bFGF) and 4 free cytokine receptors (sIL-2R alpha, sIL-6R, TNFRI, TNFRII) were measured by means of an enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay kit in 156 soft tissue sarcoma patients before the treatment and in 50 healthy controls. Serum levels of 10 cytokines and cytokine receptors were also assayed during patients' follow-up after the treatment. Significantly elevated pretreatment serum levels of 11/13 cytokines and cytokine receptors were found in sarcoma patients, as compared to healthy controls. In 40.4% of patients 6 or more cytokines and cytokine receptors (most frequently: TNF RI, IL-6, IL-8) were elevated in parallel. Serum levels of IL-6, sIL-2R, VEGF, M-CSF and TNF RI correlated significantly with tumor size and serum levels of IL-8 and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with Grade 2/3 vs. Grade 1 tumors. We did not observe any significant differences in cytokine serum levels between patients with primary and recurrent tumors and patients with and without distant metastases. Using univariate analysis, overall survival (OS) in all patients was affected by tumor size (<5 cm vs. 5-10 cm vs. >10 cm), tumor grade (G1 vs. G2/3), presence of metastases, pretreatment serum levels of 8 cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, sIL-2R, TNF RI, TNF RII, M-CSF, VEGF) and the number of cytokines increased (0-1 vs. 2-5 vs. < or = 6). Elevated serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and sIL-2R alpha, high tumor grade and larger tumor size strongly correlated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS). Multivariate analysis identified G2/3 tumor grade (p = 0.001), the presence of metastases (p = 0.004), elevated IL-6 serum level (p = 0.02), elevated IL-8 serum level (p = 0.048) and the number of cytokine serum levels above upper cut-off values (p = 0.01) as the independent prognostic factors related to OS, and G2/3 tumor grade (p = 0.005) and increased IL-6 serum level (p = 0.035) as independent prognostic factors related to DFS. In a group of patients without metastases (M0) higher tumor grade, elevated serum level of IL-6 and TNF RII, and the number of elevated cytokine serum levels correlated independently with poor survival. We found a significant decrease of several cytokine serum levels in patients after treatment (IL-1ra, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF RII, M-CSF) [p < 0.05]. Persistently elevated serum level of IL-6 after the treatment has also shown negative prognostic significance for OS (univariate analysis). Serum levels of some proinflammatory, hematopoietic and angiogenic cytokines and cytokine receptors are elevated, frequently in parallel, in a large percentage of soft tissue sarcoma patients. Significant correlations of serum cytokine levels with tumor size and grade suggest that some of these cytokines may be directly or indirectly involved in the progression of soft tissue sarcomas. Serum assays of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF RII before or after the treatment may be useful in establishing soft tissue sarcoma patients prognosis. 相似文献

Circulating interleukin-6 predicts survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by macrophages, T cells, B cells, endothelial cells and tumour cells. Interleukin-6 is able to promote tumour growth by upregulating anti-apoptotic and angiogenic proteins in tumour cells. In murine models it has been demonstrated that antibodies against IL-6 diminish tumour growth. Several reports have highlighted the prognostic importance of IL-6 in e.g., prostate and colon cancer. We addressed prospectively the prognostic significance of serum IL-6 (sIL-6), measured at diagnosis of metastasis, in 96 unselected and consecutive patients with progressive metastatic breast cancer before the initiation of systemic therapy. The median sIL-6 value for the breast cancer population was 6.6 +/- 2.1 pg/ml. Patients with 2 or more metastatic sites had higher sIL-6 values compared to those with only 1 metastatic site (respectively 8.15 +/- 1.7 pg/ml and 3.06 +/- 6.6 pg/ml; p < 0.001). Patients with liver metastasis (8.3 +/- 2.4 pg/ml), with pleural effusions (10.65 +/- 9.9 pg/ml) and with dominant visceral disease (8.15 +/- 3.3 pg/ml) had significantly higher values compared to those without liver metastases (4.5 +/- 3.4 pg/ml; p = 0.001), without pleural effusions (5.45 +/- 1.5 pg/ml; p = 0.0077) and with dominant bone disease (4.5 +/- 1.4 pg/ml; p = 0.007) respectively. No correlation between sIL-6 and age, menopausal status, performance status, tumour grade, body-mass index, histology and hormone receptor status was found. Multivariate analysis showed that high levels of serum IL-6 have independent prognostic value. We conclude that circulating IL-6 is associated with worse survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer and is correlated with the extent of disease. 相似文献

Several agents, used either alone or in combination, have been shown to boost absolute numbers of PMLs and CD34+ stem cells in PB. In this study, we compared the effects of three different treatments, G-CSF, HDMP, and G-CSF + HDMP, for neutropenic patients (absolute PML count < 0.5 x 10(9)/l) who were on maintenance therapy for ALL with a control group who received no treatment. Hematological parameters, PB-CD34+33- and -CD34+ HLA-DR- stem cell numbers, and serum IL-3 levels were measured prior to, and a week after, the first day of treatment. WBC and absolute PML counts were significantly increased compared to pretreatment values in all treatment groups. However, peripheral CD34+ 33- and CD34+ HLA-DR stem cell numbers and serum IL-3 levels were increased significantly only in the G-CSF group. There was also a significant increase in serun IL-3 levels in the G-CSF + HDMP group. This study suggests that G-CSF may induce an increase in peripheral stem cell numbers, and that it supports hemopoietic recovery by increasing IL-3 in patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. 相似文献
