Cytokines, estradiol and progesterone in the plasma of women of reproductive age with pelvic inflammatory disease in remission

Abstract: In the course of the study there were examined cytokine levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activity (IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-, G-GSF), and also the levels of progesterone and estradiol in the blood serum with a view to study the pathogenic characteristics of a chronic inflammatory process of the pelvic organs in remission. It was shown that the remission of the disease is characterized by the significant increase in the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and als… Show more

“…As we known, IL-1 β and IL-6 were two main proinflammatory cytokines. In upper genital tract of PID patients, elevated IL-1 β could increase IL-6 level and in turn suppress the IL-1 β synthesis in the second phase of the immune response [ 28 , 29 ]. In upper genital tract, these proinflammatory cytokines can induce chemokines (CXCL-1, MCP-1) production which lead to hematopoietic immune cells recruitment and stimulate the proliferation and activation of leukocyte.…”

“…2A ) illustrated the inflammatory response. The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β is a key factor in the pathological development of PID ( 25 ), and the cytokine IL-6 is involved in the processes of chronization and suppression of the synthesis of IL-1β in the second phase of the immune response ( 26 ). Both IL-1β and IL-6 exhibit significant elevation in patients with PID ( 27 ).…”

“…As the plasma CRP level has been included in the criteria for clinical diagnosis of PID [ 35 ], we also observed the concentration changes of CRP to illustrate the inflammation in PID group and anti-inflammatory effect of PSF extract. Elevated IL-1 β in upper genital tract indicates the pathological development of PID [ 36 ], while increasing production of IL-6 is involved in the processes of chronization and can suppress the synthesis of IL-1 β in the second phase of the immune response [ 37 ]. In our study, the concentrations of IL-1 β and IL-6 in uterus and fallopian tube were significantly deceased in PSF group compared with PID group, indicating the anti-inflammatory effect of PSF extract.…”
