Study the Relation of Serum Level of IL-33 with Severity of COPD Disease
Abstract
Background: Cytokines are important in many pathobiological processes of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). This study aimed to determine the relationship between serum levels of interleukin-33 (IL-
33) and the severity of COPD disease.
Method: In this cross-sectional research, the study population consisted of all COPD patients referring to
the pulmonary clinic of Imam-Ali Hospital of Zahedan city. Sixty patients were selected using the
available sampling method. Serum IL-33 levels were measured by the quantitative ELISA method.
Results: Of 60 patients, 23 (38.3%) and 37 (61.7%) subjects were male and female, respectively. Analysis shows
a significant difference between serum IL-33 of the two groups with regard to the severity of COPD disease.
There was a statistically significant negative relationship between the serum level of IL-33 and the severity
(decrease of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)) of COPD disease.
Conclusion: Our results indicate a systemic release of IL-33 correlated with the severity of COPD.
