Elevated levels of IL-8 in dengue hemorrhagic fever

Abstract: Dengue virus causes dengue fever, a mild febrile illness, and at times dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), a severe illness the pathogenesis of which is not fully understood. Given the crucial roles played by interleukin-8 (IL-8) as a chemoattractant cytokine and in inflammatory processes, levels of circulating IL-8 in the sera and IL-8 mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were measured in 99 patients of a recent dengue epidemic that occurred in India in 1996 and in 21 normal healthy controls.

“…It has been reported that the levels of tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF-␣), IL-6, and IL-8 but not IL-1␤ in patients with DHF/ DSS were relatively higher than those of healthy persons. 16,20,21 TNF-␣ production by endothelial cells has not been reported. However, TNF-␣ released from DV-infected monocytes could modulate endothelial cell function by an indirect route.…”

“…D2V-infected cell-culture medium and IL8 induce alterations in the actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesions of control monolayers Actin reorganization observed in non-infected cells neighbouring infected ones in the same monolayer after 48 h of infection suggested the presence of chemical mediators such as IL8 and TNF-a, because these cytokines have been proposed to be inductors of actin rearrangements (Blum et al, 1997;Schraufstatter et al, 2001). Furthermore, levels of IL8 have been found to be elevated in sera and pleural fluid of patients with DHF (Raghupathy et al, 1998), and it has also been detected in DV-infected HUVEC (Bosch et al, 2002). MicroELISA assays revealed the presence of increasing concentrations of IL8 in the culture medium of virusinfected monolayers.…”

“…[13][14][15][16] Other studies have suggested that cytokine levels can be used as predictive factors for severity in dengue. 17 High levels of IL-6 have implications for development of pathology in severe dengue, playing an important role in the production of antiplatelet or antiendothelial cell antibodies, as well as elevated levels of tissue plasminogen activator, and a deficiency in coagulation, leading to plasma leakage and bleeding.…”
