PG - e26391 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000026391 [doi] LID - e26391 AB - To investigate the relationship between the expression of CC and CXC chemokines and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).A total of 62 children with ASD (ASD group) and 60 gender- and age-matched normal children (control group) admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were included in the study. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta (MIP-1beta), regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), interleukin-8 (IL-8), monokine induced by interferon (IFN)-gamma (MIG), and purified human interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 (IP-10) were detected in the ASD group. The correlation between the above indexes and the severity of the ASD group was analyzed.Significantly increased MCP-1 levels (P < .01) along with the markedly decreased MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta levels (P < .01) were detected in the venous blood of the ASD group compared with the control group. In addition, they exhibited no significant difference (yet a downward trend) in the level of RANTES (P > .05). Children in the ASD group showed significantly decreased IP-10 levels (P < .01); however, they had no noticeable change (yet a decreasing trend) in the levels of IL-8 and MIG (P > .05). MCP-1 level was positively related to the Module 1 scores of Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-second edition (ADOS-2), whereas the levels of Childhood Autism Rating Scale MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, IL-8, IP-10, and MIG were negatively correlated with the ADOS-2 Module 1 scores (P < .01). However, no significant correlation was found between RANTES and the ADOS-2 Module 1 scores (P > .05).The levels of CC chemokines (MCP-1, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES) and CXC chemokines (IL-8, IP-10, and MIG) are positively correlated with the pathogenesis of ASD. Inflammation is an important contributing factor to ASD. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
