CXCL11 (Interferon-Inducible T-Cell Alpha Chemoattractant) and Interleukin-18 in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients Treated with Methylprednisolone

Abstract: Background/Aims: Chemokines may play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), facilitating the trafficking of immune cells across the blood-brain barrier. Interferon-inducible T-cell α-chemoattractant (CXCL11) recruits activated Th1 cells to sites of inflammation. In this study, we wanted to estimate the levels of CXCL11 chemokine and interleukin-18 (IL-18), a proinflammatory cytokine, in sera of relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients, both before and after methylprednisolone (MP) treatment, and … Show more

“…Specifically, CXCL10 was higher in acute MS and lower in stable disease, suggesting a pathogenetic role for the chemokine in mediating clinical re-exacerbation of MS (45). In addition, the previously reported inverse correlation between CXCL10 levels and time from last clinical relapse, together with the finding that CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 are up-regulated during relapse in MS (46)(47)(48), strongly supports this hypothesis.…”

“…These activated basophils also could induce the development of Th-2 cells [ 106 ]. Moreover, it stimulates other cytokine production such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-a, CRP, and chemokines, which are engaged in host innate defense and cytokine storm leading to ARDS [ 103 , 112 ].…”

“…CXCL11 could bind to CXCR3 expressed on CD8 + and CD4 + T cells. 30 Elevated serum levels of CXCL11 were found to be related to multiple sclerosis 31 and traumatic brain injury. 32 It is speculated that increased CXCL11 levels could facilitate the recruitment of activated Th1 cells and initiate a protective response of the inflammation sites.…”
