BACKGROUND: Interleukin (IL)-41 is upregulated in the synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, but its serum level has not been reported. The present study aimed to determine IL-41 expression in serum from RA patients and to clarify the relationships between IL-41 and disease-related parameters in RA patients.

METHODS: The study included 46 RA patients and 32 healthy controls (HC). Baseline data were obtained by routine physical examinations and immune-related parameters were measured by an automated chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzer. The correlations between IL-41 and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) and serum clinical data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test.

RESULTS: Serum IL-41 concentrations were higher in RA patients than in HC. Serum IL-41 was positively correlated with DAS28 based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP), CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and negatively correlated with platelet count, while rheumatoid factor was significantly correlated with ESR, CRP, and CAR. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that IL-41 had diagnostic value for RA, especially when combined with MPV.

CONCLUSIONS: The present findings suggest that IL-41 is increased in the serum of RA patients and may be a potential new diagnostic biomarker for RA.
