Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate TNF-α and IL-8 levels in patient with prostate cancer as diagnostic tools additional to PSA. Materials and Methods: In this current study, we included a total of 37 patients who were planned to undergo prostate biopsies in Department of Urology of Zonguldak Karaelmas University due to having high PSA levels between January and December 2005. Two samples of serum each containing 100 µL plasma were collected from each patient in order to measure TNF-α and IL-8 levels by using Immulite® IL8 and Immulite® TNF-α immunometric assays and results were given in pg/mL unit. TNF-α and IL-8 levels were compared in groups of BPH and prostate cancer. Additionally, Gleason score and those parameters were compared within prostate cancer group. Results: IL-8 levels were between 5.0 pg/mL to 46.2 pg/ml and mean IL-8 level was 12.1 pg/ml; TNF-α levels were between 4.0 pg/ml to 10 pg/mL and mean TNF-α level was 5.64 pg/ml in prostate cancer group (n=20). IL-8 levels were between 5.0 pg/ml to 27.4 pg/ml and mean IL-8 level was 9.094 pg/ml; TNF-α levels were between 4.0 pg/ml to 9 pg/mL and mean TNF-α level was 5.46 pg/ml in BPH group (n = 17) (p>0.05). There was no statistical corelation detected between Gleason score and those parameters. Conclusion: There were not any significant statistical difference in TNF-α and IL-8 levels between patients with BPH and prostate cancer. IL-8 and TNF-α do not seem to diagnostic value in patients with prostate cancer. However, the role of TNF-α and IL-8 in prostate cancer etiology and their roles in diagnosing prostate cancer and prognosis of prostate cancer should be investigated in larger series.

Özet

Bu çalışmamızda prostat kanserinde PSA’ya ek olarak TNF-α ve IL-8’in tanısal değerinin olup olmadığının araştırılmasını amaçladık. Bu çalışmaya Ocak ve Aralık 2005 tarihleri arasında ZKÜ Tıp Fakültesi üroloji polikliniğinde PSA yüksekliği nedeniyle prostat biyopsisi planlanan toplam 37 hasta alındı. Hastaların TNF-α ve IL-8 düzeyleri her hasta için iki adet 100 µL serum örneği alınarak ve Immulite® IL8 ve Immulite® TNF-α kitleri kullanılarak pg/ml biriminde ölçüm yapıldı. BPH ve Prostat kanserli grupta TNF-α ve IL8 değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca kanserli grupta Gleason skoru ile bu ölçütler arasındaki korelasyon incelendi. Prostat kanseri olan grupta (n=20) IL-8 düzeyleri 5.0 pg/ml ile 46.2 pg/ml arasında ve ortalama 12.1 pg/ml, TNF-α düzeyleri ise 4.0 ila 10 pg/ml arasında ve ortalama 5.64 pg/mL olarak saptandı. BPH grubunda (n=17) ise bu düzeyler IL-8 için 5.0 ila 27.4 pg/ml arasında ve ortalama 9.094 pg/ml, TNF-α düzeyleri ise 4.0 ila 9.0 pg/ml arasında ve ortalama 5.46 pg/ml olarak tespit edildi (p>0.05). Gleason skoru ve bu ölçütler arasında istatistiksel olarak korelasyon saptanmadı. Çalışmamızdan BPH’lı ve prostat kanserli hastaların serum TNF-α ve IL-8 düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır. TNF-α ve IL-8’in prostat kanserli hastalarda tanısal değerinin olmadığı düşünülse de, TNF-α ve IL-8’in prostat kanseri patogenezindeki rolleri ve prostat kanseri seyrindeki belirleyici yerleri farklı evredeki hasta grupları ve daha geniş serilerde araştırılmalıdır.
