ykl-40 in asthma and its correlation with different clinical parameters.

چکیده
it has been suggested that elevated serum level of ykl-40 could be a marker for asthma and its severity. along with few published studies, we investigated its correlation with asthma and its severity as well as spirometric indices.114 patients with asthma and 114 healthy controls underwent the assessment of serum level of ykl-40 (by elisa) and spirometric indices. pearson's coefficient determined the correlation between the variables and multivariate linear regression analysis was used for adjusting the effect of different probable confounding factors.serum levels of ykl-40 were significantly higher in the asthmatic patients compared to those in healthy people (p<0.001). we also found a significant correlation between ykl-40 serum level and spirometric indices even after adjusting the effects of other variables.we report for the first time in an iranian population that ykl-40 may be a good diagnostic marker of asthma in serum.

YKL-40 correlates with the phenotype of asthma
Background YKL-40 is a chitinase-like protein synthesized by human macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils. Although it is not specific, YKL-40 has been shown to correlate with asthma, its severity and level of control. As asthma is heterogeneous, it would be useful to determine whether the marker’s levels correlate with phenotypes of the disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the rel...
متن کاملSerum YKL-40: A possible biomarker in bronchial asthma?
Background: The evolutionary conserved 18 glycosyl hydrolase family contains chitinases and chitinase like proteins that share amino acid sequence homology with true chitinases but lack enzymatic activity. The chitinase like protein YKL-40, encoded by the chitinase3-like 1 gene (CHI3L1), has been found to be either the cause or a biomarker for asthma. However, its pattern of expression with dis...

Plasma YKL-40
OBJECTIVE YKL-40 is produced by macrophages, and plasma YKL-40 is elevated in patients with diseases characterized by inflammation. In the present study, YKL-40 was examined in relation to obesity, inflammation, and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma YKL-40 and adipose tissue YKL-40 mRNA levels were investigated in 199 subjects who were divided into four groups depending on t...

Background and Aims: An effective marker search in glioblastoma is precious in controlling and detecting the progression and monitoring of patients with glioblastoma. In this regard, the present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein -2 (IGFBP-2), and chitinase-3-like protein -1 (YKL-40) ti...
