OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate the interleukin (IL)-27 levels in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected patients with gastric ulcer (GU) or duodenal ulcer (DU) and to determine its association with H. pylori virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA).
METHODS: In all, 127 H. pylori infected patients (including 96 DU patients, of whom 61 were anti-CagA(+) and 35 were anti-CagA(-)) and 31 GU patients (of whom 15 were anti-CagA(+) and 16 were anti-CagA(-)), 60 asymptomatic (AS) carriers (of whom 30 were anti-CagA(+) and 30 were anti-CagA(-)) and 30 healthy H. pylori-negative participants (as a control) were enrolled in the study. Serum concentrations of IL-27 were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.
RESULTS: The mean levels of IL-27 in the GU (44.26 ± 7.12 pg/mL) and DU patients (40.84 ± 3.90 pg/mL) was significantly higher than those observed in the AS carriers (22.06 ± 1.90 pg/mL, P < 0.001) and the control group (18.12 ± 1.68 pg/mL, P < 0.001 and P < 0.002, respectively). In the GU, DU and AS groups the levels of IL-27 in anti-CagA(+) participants were not significantly differ from that in the anti-CagA(-) participants.
CONCLUSIONS: These results showed that the mean concentration of IL-27 in H. pylori-infected peptic ulcer (PU) patients was higher than in AS carriers and the healthy control group. The serum concentrations of IL-27 were not affected by the CagA factor.
