Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: IL-9, mainly produced by T helper 9 (Th9) cells, promotes allergic airway inflammation and remodeling through the interaction with its receptor (IL-9R). Th9 cells and IL-9 have also been implicated in tissue fibrosis and autoimmunity pathways. However, the role of IL-9/IL-9R in the pathogenesis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is unknown.
AIM: To evaluate IL-9/IL-9R expression in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) lymphocytes of patients with various ILDs.
METHODS: Consecutive patients with ILD, who underwent BAL for diagnostic purposes, were studied. As control group, consecutive patients without evidence of ILD were included. Immunocytochemical staining of BALF lymphocytes for IL-9 and IL-9R was performed and evaluated by two independent readers.
RESULTS: 45 patients, of them 8 had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), 12 nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), 10 sarcoidosis, 9 hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), 6 cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), and 24 controls were studied. In the ILD group, the highest BALF lymphocyte count was seen in HP followed by NSIP, COP, sarcoidosis, and IPF (p < 0.05 for HP vs IPF). The highest percentages of IL-9 and IL-9R positive lymphocytes were seen in COP. Conversely, NSIP showed the lowest rate of IL-9, and sarcoidosis the lowest rate of IL-9R positive lymphocytes. Only in NSIP, a direct correlation between IL and 9 and IL-9R positive lymphocytes was seen (r = 0.639, p = 0.025).
CONCLUSION: BALF lymphocytes IL-9 and IL-9R expression differs between various ILDs and could reflect different pathogenetic mechanisms.
