Prognostic values of sera IL-6/IL-10 and high titration of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La autoantibodies in female patients with connective tissue diseases
Aim: The high levels of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La autoantibodies are closely associated with a group of diseases related to connective tissues, also known as connective tissue diseases (CTD). The current study attested to profile the multifactorial association between interleukin IL-6 and IL-10 in...

| description | Aim: The high levels of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La autoantibodies are closely associated with a group of diseases related to connective tissues, also known as connective tissue diseases (CTD). The current study attested to profile the multifactorial association between interleukin IL-6 and IL-10 in sera from the study cohort to underline its putative prognostic and therapeutic characteristics for future application in CTD. Methods: The study cohort was recruited from government hospitals and screened for autoantibody using Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) and Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) while cytokine levels were measured using ELISA. Results: Our data showed the mean age of female patients is 38.1 years. Higher mean levels of both cytokines were observed in the first year of disease onset and menopause autoimmune-CTD patients. The mean levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly higher in positive anti-Ro/La compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Also, the significant correlation of IL-6 and IL-10 in CTD patients as opposed to healthy control has underlined the putative role of these biologics. Conclusions: These data suggest the putative manipulation of IL-6 and IL-10 as prognostic and therapeutics molecules in managing CTD, as an alternative to steroid-based medications to control the disease manifestations. |
