Abstract

- Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease leading to chronic bacterial airway infection and inflammation. T helper 17 (Th17) cells are identified by their production of interleukin (IL)-17A, which recruit neutrophils to the site of airway infection. IL-23 is an important inducer of IL-17 and IL-22 production. The aim of this study was to study the role of Th17 cells in CF airway infection by measuring the levels of Th17 associated cytokines in sputum from CF patients with or without airway infection and by comparison with non-CF-controls. In a cross-sectional screening study, cytokine levels were measured with a Th17 multiplex cytokine ELISA. Significantly lower levels of IL-17A and IL-23 were found in sputa from infected CF patients. The lowest levels of IL-17A were found in patients chronically infected with P.aeruginosa, which also had the lowest IL-17/IL-22 ratio, while children had a higher ratio. Children also had higher IL-23 levels than adults. IL-1ß and IL-10 were significantly lower in CF sputum compared to controls. Thus, in our study CF patients with chronic infections had a lower production of Th17 associated cytokines in sputum compared with non-infected CF patients and infected patient without CF.
