Sažetak
Aim To assess the association between the levels of interleukin
17 (IL-17) and T-helper 17 count and symptom severity
and etiology of chronic heart failure.
Methods This single-center prospective case-control
study, conducted from December 1, 2015 to January 1,
2017 in Tehran Heart Center, evaluated gene expression
of IL-17, relative count of (CD4+IL17+) Th17 cells and CD4+
helper T-cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 42
patients with CHF and 42 matched controls. A multiple regression
model assessed the predictors of peripheral IL-17
expression and Th17 count in patients with CHF.
Results IL-17 expression was increased in patients with
CHF, both at baseline and after stimulation. IL-17 and Th17
counts were higher in patients with advanced New York
Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (class IV) than
in controls and patients with class I. Th17 cell population
expanded in patients with CHF, more prominently in patients
with class IV than in controls and patients with class
I, regardless of the ischemic or non-ischemic CHF origin.
Multiple regression model showed that NYHA was the only
meaningful predictor of IL-17 levels and Th17 count.
Conclusion We demonstrated the lymphocytic origin of
IL-17 production in advanced CHF and the ability of disease
severity to predict IL-17 levels.
