Women with mild external genital endometriosis showed increased peritoneal fluid cytokines and macrophage markers, unlike those with severe disease, suggesting insufficient macrophage activity in severe cases.

The paper measured concentrations of cytokines IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-4 (and also IL-2, IL-10, GM-CSF, IFN-γ) and assessed macrophage expression of CD86 and CD163 in peritoneal fluid from women with external genital endometriosis at different stages, compared with a control group. IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and IL-4, along with CD86 (pro-inflammatory) and CD163 (anti-inflammatory) expression, increased in mild endometriosis (stage 1–2) but did not differ from controls in severe disease (stage 3–4), yielding a reverse correlation with severity. The remaining cytokines reported (IL-2, IL-10, GM-CSF and IFN-γ) did not show significant differences versus controls. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it relates peritoneal cytokine profiles and macrophage CD86/CD163 expression to the severity of external genital endometriosis.

Abstract

Concentrations of eight different cytokines and the level of expression of CD86 and CD163 macrophages were studied in peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis. It was found that the concentration of both inflammatory (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4) as well as the level of macrophage expression of the proinflammatory marker CD86 and anti-inflammatory marker CD163 increased in women with mild external genital endometriosis (1-2 stage), and did not differ from the control group in women with severe endometriosis (3-4 stage). The content of IL-2, IL-10, CM-CSF and IFN-γ in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis did not differ significantly from the control group. The results of the study indicate that the development of external genital endometriosis may be based on insufficient both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activity of macrophages in the peritoneal fluid.
