Effects of sildenafil citrate and etanercept treatment on TNF-α levels in peripheral blood of women with recurrent miscarriage.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:The aim of the study was to determine serum concentrations of a proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), in patients with recurrent abortions undergoing treatment with sildenafil or etanercept. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Serum TNF-α concentrations were determined for 24 patients with recurrent miscarriages (aged 32.7 ± 4.64 years) deemed eligible for sildenafil therapy and 7 patients treated with etanercept (aged 37.65 ± 5.45 years). Measurements were performed before and after therapy. The control group included 10 healthy women (aged 33.3 ± 5.49 years), who gave birth at least once without pregnancy-related complications. The levels of serum TNF-α were measured by Elisa. RESULTS:Patients treated with etanercept had significantly elevated levels of TNF-α before therapy as compared to the control group (41.4 ± 28.4 vs. 16.6 ± 7.2 pg/ml). Moreover we found a tendency for the concentration of TNF-α to increase in sera of patients treated with sildenafil after therapy completion (19 ± 29 vs. 15.4 ± 26.7 pg/ml). Treatment with etanercept resulted in a significant reduction of serum TNF-α levels (41.4 ± 28.4 vs. 25.4 ± 3.2 pg/ml). CONCLUSIONS:Therapy of recurrent abortions with anti-TNF-α drugs appears to be encouraging. Administration of blockers of phosphodiesterase type 5 or TNF-α blockers before conception seems to be a promising future therapy of immune-dependent recurrent miscarriages, limiting the teratogenic influence of the drugs on the fetus.
