摘要: 目的 探讨血清IL-33异常升高在酒精性肝病(ALD)发病中的作用及其临床意义。方法 应用ELISA法检测40例酒精性肝炎、17例重症酒精性肝炎、75例酒精性肝硬化和48例健康人血清IL-33及其可溶性受体ST2(sST2)水平,分析血清IL-33水平与临床生化指标的相关性。结果 酒精性肝炎、重症酒精性肝炎和酒精性肝硬化患者血清IL-33水平分别为(85.20±9.44) pg/ml、(68.70±8.14) pg/ml和(64.45±3.78) pg/ml,均显著高于健康人[(42.17±2.41)pg/ml,P<0.001],且酒精性肝炎患者血清IL-33水平较酒精性肝硬化患者明显升高(P<0.05),而在重症酒精性肝炎患者和酒精性肝硬化患者不同Child-Pugh分级组间差异无显著性(P>0.05);酒精性肝炎、重症酒精性肝炎和酒精性肝硬化患者血清sST2水平分别为(96.75±11.30) pg/ml、(51.92±11.78) pg/ml和(75.82±6.81)pg/ml,均显著高于健康人[(43.97±3.01) pg/ml,P<0.001],且酒精性肝炎患者血清sST2水平较重症酒精性肝炎或酒精性肝硬化明显升高(P<0.001或P<0.05),而酒精性肝硬化Child-Pugh A组患者较B级或C级明显升高(P 均<0.001);ALD患者外周血清IL-33水平与sST2无明显相关性,IL-33水平与淋巴细胞计数(R=0.273,P<0.01)、白蛋白(R=0.237,P<0.01)、ALT(R=0.462,P<0.001)、AST(R=0.387,P<0.001)和胆碱脂酶(R=0.225,P<0.01)水平呈显著正相关,而血清IL-33水平与中性粒细胞、总胆红素、碱性磷酸酶、总胆固醇和凝血酶原活动度水平无显著相关性。结论 酒精性肝病患者血清升高的IL-33可能促进了患者免疫反应而诱导疾病的进展。

Abstract: Objective To explore the changes of serum IL-33 levels in patients with alcoholic liver diseases. Methods Serum levels of IL-33 and its soluble receptor sST2 in patients with alcoholic hepatitis(n=40), severe alcoholic hepatitis(n=17),alcoholic liver cirrhosis(n=75),and healthy individuals (n=20) were measured by ELISA. IL-33 and sST2 levels in different groups were compared and the correlation between serum IL-33 levels and the regular biochemical indexes was analyzed. Results Patients with alcoholic hepatitis,severe alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis had elevated serum IL-33 levels than that in the controls[(85.20±9.44) pg/ml,(68.70±8.14) pg/ml,(64.45±3.78) pg/ml vs. (42.17±2.41) pg/ml,P<0.001 for all],while IL-33 in patients with alcoholic hepatitis were significantly higher than that in cirrhotic patients(P<0.05);however,there was no statistical difference between patients with severe hepatitis and cirrhosis with different Child-Pugh class;Serum sST2 in alcoholic hepatitis,severe alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis group significantly elevated compared to that in the controls [(96.75±11.30) pg/ml,(51.92±11.78) pg/ml,(75.82±6.81) pg/ml vs. (43.97±3.01) pg/ml,P<0.001 for all],while serum sST2 levels in patients with alcoholic hepatitis was higher than that in patients with severe hepatitis or cirrhosis(P<0.001 and P<0.05,respectively);in addition,serum sST2 in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis with Child-Pugh A class was significantly higher than those in cirrhotic patients with Child-Pugh B class or C class(P<0.001 for both);there was no correlation between serum IL-33 and sST2(R=0.100,P=0.180);Serum IL-33 levels in patients with alcoholic liver disease showed positive correlation with lymphocyte counts(R=0.273,P<0.01),ALB(R=0.237,P<0.01),ALT(R=0.462,P<0.001),AST(R=0.387,P<0.001)and CHE(R=0.225,P<0.01),while no significant correlation with neutrophils,TBIL,ALP,GGT,TC and PTA. Conclusion Elevated serum IL-33 levels might contribute to the development of alcoholic liver disease by aggravating immunological reaction.
