Abstract

Purpose: Eotaxin is a selective chemo-attractant for eosinophils from CC chemokine family. Eotaxin and similar chemokines are responsible from chemotaxis of eosinophils which are basic inflammatory cells in allergic iflammation to the target tissue. In the present study we investigated the serum levels of eotaxin, IL-13 in children with atopic and non atopic asthma and healthy controls in order to investigate its' contribution to the pathogenesis of astma. Methods: Thirty three patients with stable asthma were included to the study. The patients were divided into two groups as atopic (n: 17, age range 5-13 years, median 10 years) and non atopic (n:16, age range3-ll years, median 9 years). Ten healthy children aged between 3 and 11 years without a history of asthma and any other allergic diseases served as controls. Results: Atopic and non atopic asthmatic children have higher serum eotaxin and IL-13 levels compared to healthy children, but the difference was not significant. There was no correlation between serum eotaxin and IL-13 levels. Conclusion: As a conclusion, as this study was performed on stable asthma patients, further studies which are conducted on tissue and asthma attack are required in order to determine the roles of eotaxin and IL-13 in childhood asthma.

Özet

Amaç: Eotaksin, CC kemokin ailesinden eozinofil selektif bir kemoatraktandır.AUerjik inflamasyonda temel inflamatuar hücre olduğu düşünülen eozinofillerin hedef dokuda toplanmasından eotaksin ve benzeri kemokinlerin sorumlu olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada atopik ve nonatopik astımlı çocuklarda ve benzer yaş grubundan sağlıklı kontrollerde serum eotaxin ve IL-13 düzeyleri ölçülerek astım patogenezine katkısı araştırıldı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya 33 stabil astımlı olgu alındı. Olgular atopik ( n:17, 5-13 yaş , median 10 yaş) ve nonatopik (n:16, 3-11 yaş, median 9 yaş) olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubu astım ve alerjik hastalık öyküsü bulunmayan yaşları 3-11 yaş arasında değişen 10 sağlıklı çocuktan oluştu. Bulgular: Atopik- nonatopik astımlılarda sağlıklı çocuklara göre serum eotaksin ve IL-13 düzeyleri yüksek olmasına karşın, bu farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı.Eotaksin ve IL-13 düzeyleri arasında korelasyon tespit edilemedi.. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak çalışma klinik olarak stabil hastalarda yapıldığı için, astımlı hastalarda kontrollere göre serum eotaksin ve IL-13 düzeyleri açısından anlamlı bir yükseklik saptanmadı. Eotaksin ve IL-13'ün çocukluk çağı astımındarolünün belirlenebilmesi için dokuda ve hastalığın aktivasyonunda bu mediatörlerin değerlendirilmesi gerektiği düşünüldü.
