Abstract

The mechanisms that lead to the fibrotic obliteration in bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) may involve the interactions between T-helper (Th)1 and Th2 cytokines. The aim of this study is to determine the Th1 and Th2 cytokine and chemokine profiles in serum and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in lung transplant recipients and to assess their usefulness as biomarkers to predict the development of BOS. Serum and EBC from 10 patients with BOS (BOS(pos)) and 10 patients without BOS (BOS(neg)), matched for clinical and demographic variables, were analyzed with a multiplex immunoassay to measure a panel of 27 cytokines and chemokines. The pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum were elevated in lung transplant recipients compared with controls. BOS(pos) patients had significantly lower concentrations of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) compared with BOS(neg) patients. The concentration of IL-5, however, was significantly higher in BOS(pos) patients. Levels of IL-4 and IL-5 were hardly detectable in EBC. IL-13 and VEGF, both decreased in serum in BOS(pos) patients, were also decreased in EBC in BOS(pos) patients compared with BOS(neg) patients. Longitudinal analysis of cytokines and chemokines ...Continue Reading
