Objective To study the relationship between plasma TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-10 levels and radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients received thoracic irradiation with 3DCRT. Methods Sixty-nine patients of lung cancer stage Ⅲ or esophageal carcinoma were evaluated prospectively by ElISA for plasma TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-10 levels and IL-10/TNF-αbefore 3DCRT, after 40-50 Gy and after 3DCRT.Results Twenty-eight patients had RP. In RP patients, the plasma TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-10 levels and IL-10/TNF-αwas (15.2±13.4)μg/L,(28.4±13.4),(24.1±17.1) ng/L and 1.01±0.86 before 3DCRT, respectively; TNF-αincreased to (36.1±15.5) ng/L(t=2.01,P=0.040), IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-αdecreased to (18.8±10.8) ng/L (t=1.40,P=0.166)and 0.62±0.55 (t=1.90,P=0.063)after 40-50 Gy. After 3DCRT TNF-α was higher (36.9±15.5) ng/L than that before 3DCRT(t=-2.20,P=0.032),but IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-α were lower than that before 3DCRT [(13.7±6.2) ng/L, t=3.03, P=0.005;0.41±0.21,t=3.60,P=0.001]. TGF-β was not change in three times(P>0.05).In non-RP patients, TGF-β,TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-αwas not yet change in three times(P>0.05) respectively. TGF-β was not yet change between RP and non-RP patients before 3DCRT(t=0.54,P=0.594), and TNF-αwas higher in RP group than that in non_RP group after 40-50 Gy(t=2.02,P=0.048),but IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-α was less in RP group than that in non_RP group after 3DCRT(t=2.50,P=0.015;t=4.63,P=0.000). Conclusion The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 are closely related to the occurrence of RP. Monitoring the changes in dynamic state could predict the generation of RP, which could be employed as a sensitive index for indicating risks for acute RP. |
