Abstract:
UNLABELLED:In acute-phase Kawasaki disease, neutrophils cause injury to the coronary arterial endothelium through the production of elastase. Previous research has demonstrated the modulation of neutrophil function and kinetics, such as development and maturation, by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). To examine the correlation between G-CSF and cardiac complications in Kawasaki disease, functional activity of serum G-CSF and cytokines was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 30 patients with acute-phase Kawasaki disease aged 2 months to 5 years. The mean serum G-CSF was higher in the 1st week of Kawasaki disease than during weeks 2 to 4, and G-CSF was significantly higher in patients with coronary artery dilatation (CAL) than in those without. There was no significant difference in the activity of other cytokines studied or white blood cell counts between the patients with CAL. CONCLUSION:granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is correlated with coronary artery dilatation in acute-phase Kawasaki disease and increased neutrophil function may contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary arterial endothelial injury in these patients.
