elevated il-17 and tgf-β serum levels: a positive correlation between t-helper 17 cell-related pro-inflammatory responses with major depressive disorder

چکیده
introduction: depression is a mental disorder that highly associated with immune system. therefore, this study compares the serum concentrations of il-21, il-17, and transforming growth factor β (tgf-β) between patients with major depressive disorder and healthy controls. methods: blood samples were collected from 41 patients with major depressive disorder and 40 healthy age-matched controls with no history of malignancies or autoimmune disorders. the subjects were interviewed face to face according to dsm-iv diagnostic criteria. depression score was measured using completed beck depression inventory in both groups. the serum concentrations of il-21, il-17, and tgf-β were assessed using elisa. results: the mean score of beck depression score in the patient and control groups was 35.4±5.5 and 11.1±2.3. il-17 serum concentrations in the patients and the control group were 10.03±0.6 and 7.6±0.6 pg/ml, respectively (p=0.0002). tgf-β level in the patients group was significantly higher than compare to the control group; 336.7±20.19 vs. 174.8±27.20 pg/ml, (p<0.0001). however, the level of il-21 was not statistically different between the two groups 84.30±4.57 vs. 84.12±4.15 pg/ml (p>0.05). conclusion: considering pro-inflammatory cytokines, current results support the associationof inflammatory response and depressive disorder. so, it seems that pro-inflammatory factors profile can be used as indicator in following of depression progress and its treatment impacts.

متن کاملElevated levels of anti inflammatory IL-10 and pro inflammatory IL-17 in malignant pleural effusions
BACKGROUND Pleural effusions can be caused by highly different underlying diseases and are characterized by complex interactions of various local and circulating cells as well as numerous soluble parameters like interleukins (IL). Knowledge of this complex network can be helpful in order to make the differential diagnosis in known malignant pleural effusions and understand the underlying immuno...

Pivotal Roles of T-Helper 17-Related Cytokines, IL-17, IL-22, and IL-23, in Inflammatory Diseases
T-helper 17 (Th17) cells are characterized by producing interleukin-17 (IL-17, also called IL-17A), IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22 and potentially TNF- α and IL-6 upon certain stimulation. IL-23, which promotes Th17 cell development, as well as IL-17 and IL-22 produced by the Th17 cells plays essential roles in various inflammatory diseases, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, rheumato...

BACKGROUND/AIM Recent studies have shown that IL-17-producing CD4+ T helper (Th17) cells play an important role in proinflammatory processes. In this report we analyzed IL-17, IL-21, and TGF-β serum levels in the peripheral blood of Iranian beta-thalassemia major patients that clinically exhibited splenectomy and iron overload. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected from 43 beta-t...
