Evaluation of Caspase-1, Interleukin-1β, and Interleukin-18, in the Middle Ear Effusion in Children With Otitis Media With Effusion

Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the expression of caspase-1 and caspase-1-dependent processing of cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, in the middle ear effusion of children with otitis media with effusion (OME) in order to identify the potential role of inflammasomes in O...

Middle ear effusion (MEE) was collected during the surgery. Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 were assayed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The levels were compared between those with mucoid and serous MEE and those with and without a history of ventilation tube insertion.Results: Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 were detected in all samples. The caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels did not significantly differ between mucoid samples and serous samples. No statistical significances were discovered in caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels between with and without a history of ventilation tube groups. There was a significant negative correlation between IL-1β and IL-18 and the duration of OME (p < 0.05). However, no significant correlation was found between caspase-1 and disease duration.Conclusions: Inflammasomes may participate in the inflammatory process of OME. IL-1β and IL-18 levels in the MEE decreased over time.Shanshan LiuShanshan LiuLining GuoLining GuoMin ChenMin ChenWei LiuWei LiuYanhong LiYanhong LiXiaoxu WangXiaoxu WangShilan LiShilan LiJie ZhangJie ZhangXin NiXin NiFrontiers Media S.A.articleotitis media with effusioncaspase-1interleukin-1βinterleukin-18inflammasomeschildrenPediatricsRJ1-570ENFrontiers in Pediatrics, Vol 9 (2021)
