[Cytokines in acute myeloid leukemia].
The cytokines belong to the group of main factors regulating of leukaemia cell proliferation. Most of information comprised in the literature concern the behaviour of single cytokines in the cell culture in vitro. In the organism of leukaemia patient many different cytokines, adhesion molecules, growth factors and other substances probably act in the same time. Therefore the aim of study was the determination of plasma concentrations of interleukin 1B, 3, 4, 6, 8, G-CSF and P-selection in 26 patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia-aml, among them 14 patient in the course of exacerbation-aml-e and 12 being in the remission-aml-r, classified as type M1 and M2 according to the FAB classification. Control group consisted of 15 healthy volunteers. The cytokine measurements were performed by means of immunoradiometric, immunoenzymatic and radioimmunologic kits. In the patients with aml-e significant increase of plasma concentrations of IL-1B, IL-3, IL-6, G-CSF, P-selectin and essential decrease of IL-4 was found. Significant decrease of IL-4 and P-selecting concentrations in the patients with aml-r and lack of changes in IL-8 concentrations in the both groups of patients was demonstrated. The observed differences of concentrations may additionally confirm the role of studied cytokines and P-selectin in the regulation of leukaemia cell proliferation.
