Serum interleukin-6 levels in response to biologic treatment in patients with psoriasis

Abstract: Serum IL-6 level may be a useful biomarker for assessing disease activity in patients with psoriasis and for predicting responsiveness of joint symptoms to biologic treatment.

“…Our study shows that IL-6 might be related to dyslipidemia in psoriasis because patients with abnormal blood lipids had higher IL-6 concentrations than patients with normal blood lipids. In previous studies, serum IL-6 concentrations were increased in patients with psoriasis and correlated with disease activity assessed with the PASI and DAS28-CRP [15,17]. Similarly, we found that IL-6 concentrations were greater in patients with concurrent PsA, which is clinically more severe than plaque psoriasis.…”

“…Thus, serum IL-6 concentrations may be used to assess psoriasis severity and response to treatment [11]. Based on a study among 182 patients with psoriasis who received biological treatments, Muramatsu et al suggested that serum concentrations of IL-6 might be particularly valuable for monitoring disease activity in patients who receive infliximab or adalimumab [15]. Moreover, the IL-6 signaling pathway is a potential treatment target in psoriasis [20,21].…”

“…It also acts as a myokine and is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance [23]. Genetic polymorphism of IL6 has been shown to be significantly associated with a form of psoriatic arthritis [24], and serum IL6 is considered as a biomarker for assessing disease activity in patients with psoriasis, as well as for predicting responsiveness of joint symptoms to biologic treatment [25].…”

“…Além do TNF-α, a IL-6 é considerada na atividade da psoríase, sendo que os níveis sanguíneos se correlacionam com escores da psoríase vulgar e o tratamento, que visa diminuir os níveis de IL-6, e pode produzir melhoras na doença (MUrAMATSU et al, 2016). Com relação às interleucinas, o laser de baixa potência também tem se mostrado atuante, tanto com diminuição daquelas consideradas pró-inflamatórias, como a IL-1α (OLIVEIRA et al, 2017), IL-6 (ALVES et al, 2016), IL-8 (CARVALHO et al, 2017), quanto com aumento das antiinflamatórias, como IL-10 (CARVALHO et al, 2017), IL-4, IL-13 (SONG et al, 2017).…”
