Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we identify a cytokine profile in the blood and local tissue of the patients with IgG4-AA, IgG4-AA), non-IgG4-related inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm, atherosclerotic AAA, almost normal aorta without dilatation were examined by (1) serum levels interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-13, and interferon (IFN)-g; (2) using resected the aortic tissues, immunohistochemical and mRNA-in situ hybrydization (ISH), local expression of the cytokines described above, CD34 , and CD163. Serum IL-10 in IgG4-AA were significantly higher than in atherosclerotic arteriopathies. IL-13 levels were elevated in 2 patients, all with IgG4-AA. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the number of immunopositive cells for IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13 were increased significantly in the adventitia of IgG4-AA than in aAAA and autopsy controls. ISH confirmed IL-10 and IL-13 mRNA expression in the adventitia of IgG4-AA. Co-expression of IL-13-mRNA and CD34-mRNA or CD168-mRNA was detected in IgG4-AA.
