Inflammatory profile of induced sputum composition in systemic sclerosis and comparison with healthy volunteers

Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a potentially serious and disabling connective tissue disease specially in case of interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). The aim of our study was to evaluate the potential utility of dosing in the induced sputum (IS) and to compare their levels in SSc-ILD and SSc-...

Only IL-8 serum levels (p < 0.001) were increased in SSc patients compared to HV. Neither in IS nor in serum were observed differences between SSc-ILD and SSc-nonILD patients. Correlations were observed between IS IL-8 levels and FEV-1 (%) (r =  = − 0.53, p < 0.01), FVC (%) (r = − 0.51, p < 0.01) and annualized ∆KCO (%) (r = 0.57, p < 0.05), between IS TGF-β levels and annualized ∆FEV-1 (%) (r =  = − 0.57, p < 0.05), between IS IGFBP-2 levels and annualized ∆KCO (%) (r = 0.56, p < 0.05). Our study showed that SSc patients exhibit raised IS levels of IGFBP-1, TGF-β, IL-8, YKL-40 and MMP-7, molecules known to be involved in lung remodeling and fibrotic process, without any significant difference between SSc-ILD and SSc-nonILD patients. IL-8, TGF-β and IGFBP-2 are correlated with lung function in SSc patients which emphasize clinical relevance.
