Expressions and correlations of IL-18,IL-18BP and IL-18R in eosinophil-enriched blood cells from psoriasis patients
Objective:To investigate the expressions of interleukin-18(IL-18),interleukin 18 binding protein(IL-18BP) and inter-leukin 18 receptor(IL-18R) in eosinophil-enriched cells from patients with psoriasis,and the correlation among them. Methods: Blood samples from psoriasis patients and healthy controls(HC) were collected and incubated with the extracts of Artemisia pollen,dust mite,and Platanus pollen. Expressions of IL-18,IL-18BP and IL-18R in blood eosinophils were detected by flowcytometry. SPSS software was employed to analyze the correlation among them. Results:Levels of IL-18+ and IL-18R+ blood eosinophils in psoriasis patients were increased up to 3.7(Z=-3.070,P=0.002) and 4.1 folds(Z=-4.753,P=0.000),respectively. While IL-18 BP+ eosinophil was reduced by 87% compared with HC when cultured with medium only(Z=-4.556,P=0.000). Dust mite extracts induced approximately 1.5-fold increase in IL-18+ eosinophils of psoriasis patients(Z=-3.548,P=0.000),and Platanus pollen extracts induced approximately 1.1-fold elevation in IL-18BP+ expression(Z=-3.445,P=0.000). In addition,the proportions of IL-18BP+ and IL-18+ eosinophils in psoriasis patients were highly correlated(r=0.587,P=0.013). Conclusion:Increased expressions of IL-18,IL-18R,and decreased expression of IL-18BP in eosinophil-enriched blood cells from psoriasis patients may suggest that IL-18,IL-18R and IL-18BP expressed in eosinophils may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Anti-IL-18 agents or IL-18R blockers might become potential targets for psoriasis treatment.
