title: [GM-CSF in the culture supernatants of neutrophils and serum levels in patients with inflammation and squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity].
abstract: The aim of this study was to comparison GM-CSF concentrations in the culture supernatants of neutrophils (unstimulated and LPS-stimulated) and the serum of patients with inflammation and squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity. PMN from both patient groups exhibited decreased the ability to release of GM-CSF. PMN from patients with inflammation secreted a lower concentrations of GM-CSF than those from cancer patients. PMN from patients with inflammation were more reactivity after LPS-stimulation in comparison with cells from cancer group. GM-CSF serum levels in patients with inflammation and cancer were nonsignificantly higher in comparison with control. There was no correlation between GM-CSF in the culture supernatants of PMN and the serum levels in patient groups. The decreased GM-CSF production may lead to unfavourable effects for immune response of patients with inflammation as well as patients with cancer disease.
