Cytokine analyses were performed with Bio-Plex® technology (Human Grp I Cytokine 27-plex panel).Results Pts with SLE had significantly lower levels of IL-1β, -1ra, -2, -9, eotaxin, G-CSF, IFN-γ, MIP-1β, TNF-α, VEGF and higher levels of IL-4, -6, -8, -12, GM-CSF, MCP-1, PDGF-BB, RANTES than healthy donors. Compared to RA, cytokine/chemokine levels from SLE were significantly different. The concentrations of IL-1β, -1ra, -2, -5, -6, -7, -9, -10, -13, 15, eotaxin, FGF, G-CSF, IFN-γ, IP-10, MIP-1α, TNF-α, VEGF in SLE were significantly lower than RA. The concentrations of IL-4, -8, MCP-1, MIP-1β, PDGF-BB, RANTES was higher in the SLE cohort (Table 1).Conclusions Serum concentration of most proinflammatory, Th-2 related, bone marrow–derived cytokines, stromal cells and angiogenic factors in SLE pts is substantially lower than in healthy donors and pts witch RA. These data demonstrate significantly higher chemokine levels in SLE versus RA.Chun HY, Chung JW, Kim HA, Yun JM, Jeon JY, Ye YM, Kim SH, Park HS, Suh CH.
