摘要
Various studies suggested that inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated cytokine release from LPS-stimulated blood cells of 32 AD patients, with different disease severity, compared to 16 age-related controls. A significant decrease of IL-1beta and IL-6 secretion was observed in severely demented patients; TNF-alpha release was also decreased, but not significantly. By contrast, mild and moderate patients showed a cytokine release similar to controls. IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha secretion was negatively correlated with the severity of dementia, quantified by the MMSE. Our data suggest that alterations of the immune profile are associated with AD progression. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
