The study found that patients with MDS had lower levels of IL-33, especially in those with more advanced stages and worse prognosis. There was no significant correlation between IL-33 and IL-6 levels. These results highlight the close association between immunological disorders and the pathogenesis of MDS.
Aberrant inflammatory signaling has been shown to be a key pathogenic driver in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Abnormal IL-33 expression has been implicated in inflammatory, immune-related disorders and, some tumors. However, its role in MDS remains widely unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between plasma levels of IL-33, clinical and prognostic data and, IL-6 levels in 101 patients with MDS. A comparative group of 59 healthy individuals was also evaluated. Plasma levels of cytokines were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Lower levels of IL-33 were found in patients with MDS when compared to the control group (p = 0.001), mainly in patients with more advanced stages of the disease and worse prognosis. No significant correlation between the levels of IL-33 and IL-6 was observed (r = 0.175; p = 0.081). These results reinforce the close association between immunological disorders and the pathogenesis of MDS. A greater understanding of the role of inflammatory cytokines in the disease can potentially provide new diagnosis and prognosis markers and new therapeutic targets.
