| Research Abstract |
Twenty ICU patients with sepsis were enrolled to the study. mRNA was isolated from the peripheral blood on admission and on day 2 in ICU. Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR was used to quantify mRNA expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-6,IL-8,IL-10 and IFN-gamma. The mRNA expression levels were assessed by percent changes on day 2 compared to that on admission. Serum levels of cytokines on admission and monocyte HLA-DR expression on day 3 were also measured.
Between survivors and non-survivors, there was no difference in mRNA expression levels of all mediators except for IL-10. IL-10 mRNA level on day 2 compared to that on admission was significantly up-regulated in non-survivors.
When the survival rate was compared between the mRNA expression level up-regulated group and the down-regulated group, it was significantly higher in IL-10 up-regulated group.
Up-regulation of IL-10 mRNA expression significantly associated with the diminished HLA-DR expression on monocytes (r=0.78,p<0.001). To the contrary, serum IL-10 level on admission did not correlate with HLA-DR expression.
Up-regulated IL-10 mRNA expression in peripheral leukocytes could be a useful predictor of not only the poor outcome, but also diminishing HLA-DR expression in septic patients. The potential usefulness of IL-10 mRNA expression measurement for the management of septic patients should be further evaluated.
