PG - 255-60 LID - 10.1111/pim.12305 [doi] AB - The role of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is not fully understood in human leishmaniasis. We analysed the alterations in the levels of TNF-alpha, soluble TNF receptor type 1 (sTNFR I), IL-17 and IL-22 productions in active and healed leishmaniases. Blood samples were collected from volunteers with active cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL), the same subjects after lesion healing (healed CL = HCL), volunteers with active visceral leishmaniasis (AVL), healed VL (HVL) and healthy controls. Levels of cytokines were titrated on Leishmania Ag-stimulated PBMC culture. The mean level of TNF-alpha production from stimulated cells was significantly higher in ACL than controls (P < 0.001) and significantly reduced after treatment in HCL volunteers (P < 0.05). The mean level of sTNFR I production was significantly higher in ACL than controls (P < 0.001) and significantly reduced after treatment in HCL volunteers (P < 0.05). The mean level of IL-22 production in AVL was significantly higher than controls (P < 0.05) and was significantly lower in HVL compared with AVL (P < 0.001) and controls (P < 0.05). The levels of TNF-alpha (P = 0.0025) and sTNFR I (P < 0.01) productions from PBMCs showed significant decreasing trend after treatment in each CL volunteer. Reduction in TNF-alpha is associated with clinical response to treatment and healing of CL lesions due to L. major. CI - (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
