BACKGROUND: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate inflammatory biomarkers in urine samples of 24 fetuses with posterior urethral valve (PUV) collected at 22 ± 4 weeks of gestation and to compare the findings with measurements in urine samples of 22 male healthy preterm neonates at 23 ± 4 weeks (control group).
METHODS: Inflammatory biomarkers in urine were measured using a cytometric bead array [interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, interferon (IFN)-γ, soluable tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) 1, sTNFR2, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/chemokine ligand 2 (MCP-1/CCL2), eotaxin/CCL11 and interferon gamma-induced protein/10/C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (IP-10/CXCL10)] and ELISA assays [TNF, IL-8/CXCL8 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)]. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare medians. Markers of glomerular (creatinine) and tubular [beta 2 (β2)-microglobulin, uromodulin, osmolality] functions were correlated with inflammatory biomarkers (Spearman test).
RESULTS: An intense inflammatory profile was identified, with significantly increased concentrations of urinary IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF, sTNFRI, sTNFRII, IFN-γ, MCP-1/CCL2, eotaxin/CCL11 and IL-8/CXCL8 in the PUV group compared to the controls. The same was observed for the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and for the fibrogenic mediator TGF-β. In the correlation analysis, β2-microglobulin positively correlated with the presence of MCP-1/CCL2, sTNFRI and eotaxin/CCL11 and negatively correlated with the presence of creatinine.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that inflammatory molecules are already increased in fetuses with PUV at the mean gestational age of 22 weeks, suggesting a physiopathological role for inflammation just after the embryological formation of the urethral membrane.
