Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the significance of IL-24 and IL-6 concentrations in serum of patients with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS:Concentrations of serum IL-24 and IL-6 were detected using the ELISA assay. The relationship between the concentrations and the clinicopathological parameters in 43 cases of DLBCL patients was analyzed. RESULTS:Compared with the control patients,the concentrations of IL-24 and IL-6:(58.32 ±11.81) and (24.63 ±7.73) μg/mL, respectively, and the IL-24 concentration:(42.18 ±8.48) μg/mL in the DLBCL patients were significantly lower, whereas the IL-6 concentration:(45.29±12.71) μg/mL was significantly higher (P<0.01). Furthermore,the concentrations of IL-24 was significantly lower,while the IL-6 was higher in the serum of the patients who had bone marrow invasion than those without the invasion (P<0.01). The similar results were also shown in the patients with the high IPI scores (P<0.01). These findings suggest that the low IL-24 and high IL-6 concentrations may be predictors for poor clinical status and prognosis of DLBCL patients. CONCLUSION:Detection of the serum IL-24 and IL-6 concentrations may be useful as auxiliary diagnosis for improved clinical therapy in DLBCL.
