Abstract:
:Interleukin-35 (IL-35) is a novel anti-inflammatory cytokine and has been shown to play an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis. However, the effect of IL-35 on human asthma remains unclear. The present study is to investigate the expression and significance of IL-35 in childhood asthma. Forty-one asthmatic children and forty-two healthy controls were recruited in Qilu Children's Hospital of Shandong University. Serum total immunoglobulin E level was measured by radioimmunosorbent test. Peripheral blood eosinophils were counted using BC-5800 Automatic Blood Cell Analyzer. IL-35 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Serum IL-35, IL-4 and interferon-γ levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The correlations among the above indexes were also analyzed using Pearson's method. Our results showed that serum total IgE, eosinophil count and serum IL-4 were significantly increased in asthmatic children compared with control children, and serum IFN-γ level in asthmatic patients was obviously lower than that in healthy controls. We also found that there was an obviously positive correlation between serum IgE and IL-4 levels in asthmatic patients. In addition, significantly negative correlation was found between serum total IgE and IFN-γ levels. More importantly, we found that the expression of IL-35 mRNA and protein was both down-regulated in asthmatic children, and serum IL-35 level was inversely related to serum IL-4 level. Moreover, significantly positive correlation was also found between serum IL-35 and IFN-γ levels. The results suggest that the decreased expression of IL-35 could be involved in the pathogenesis of childhood asthma.
