Interleukin-22 but Not Interleukin-17 Provides Protection to Hepatocytes during Acute Liver Inflammation

Interleukin-8 but Not Interleukin-6 Variant May Affect Susceptibility to Brucellosis

Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...

Interleukin-17 Gene Expression and Serum Levels in Acute Rejected and non-Rejected Liver Transplant Patients

Background: Interleukin-17 (IL-17), as a potent proinflammatory cytokine, has a critical role in post liver transplant outcomes. However, there is not much information about the effects of IL-17 cytokine on acute liver rejection. Objective: To evaluate the role of IL-17 in post-liver transplant acute rejection. Methods: Ninety seven adult liver transplant patients who enrolled in this cross sec...

Interleukin 6 but not Interleukin 8 Might be an Indicator of Multiple Sclerosis Progression from Relapse Remitting to Secondary Progressive Status

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic inflammatory disease of the white matter of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Proinflammatory cytokine network such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) has a role in the initiation of a destructive immune response in CNS and the progression of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in MS patients and h...
