Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of IL-17 in the serum and T cells of the patients with breast cancer and its correlation with breast cancer functional indicators.Methods The flow cytometry analysis was adopted to detect the percentage of peripheral blood CD3 + CD4 + IL-17 + T cells in breast cancer patients;the ELISA method was used to detect serum IL-17 content;the chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to detect CA153 and CA125 levels.The correlation between IL-17 with various indi-cators was analyzed.Results The percentage of CD3 + CD4 + IL-17 + T cell in peripheral blood of the breast cancer patients had sta-tistically significant difference compared with the healthy control group(P <0.05);serum IL-17 level had statistically significant difference compared with the healthy control group(P <0.05);serum IL-17 level was positively correlated with the percentage of CD3 + CD4 + IL-17 + T cells and the CA153 level;IL-17 level had no significant correlation with serum CA125 level.Conclusion The IL-17 expression level is associated with breast cancer.
