dc.description.abstract | In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relation between angiogenesis indicators and T helper 17 cytokine group in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) which is a disease characterized by impaired angiogenesis and autoimmune response. In our study, patients with SSc are compared with patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and healthy controls. Forty SSc patients, 18 primary RP cases, and 20 healthy controls were included in our study. The demographic and clinical features of patients with SSc were recorded. The serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, interleukin (IL)-20, IL-22, and IL-23 were assessed. In the SSc group, IL-20 level was significantly lower than in both primary RP group and controls (p values < 0.001). VE-cadherin level in SSc was significantly higher than in primary RP (p = 0.016). The IL-22 and IL-23 and VEGF levels of SSc, primary RP, and control groups were similar (p values > 0.05). In SSc patients, IL-23 correlated negatively with VEGF (r = -0.36, p = 0.025) and positively with VE-cadherin (r = 0.55, p < 0.001). IL-20 levels in SSc patients correlated with disease duration (r = 0.32, p = 0.044). SSc patients with limited involvement had significantly higher VE-cadherin levels than SSc patients with diffuse involvement (p = 0.044). We observed that IL-20 which is an IL-10 group angiogenesis indicator was observed to be suppressed in SSc, suggesting abnormal angiogenesis. | en_US |
