We observed a significant decrease in IL-10 levels in the AqH of patients with BU and a significant increase in VEGF levels in the AqH of patients with FUS compared to controls.
RESULTS Expression levels of IL18, IFNG, IFNGR, and CRP were significantly higher in patients with active Behçet's uveitis than in control subjects (P<0.01 for all), whereas no significant differences were found in IL10 and HSP70 gene expression levels (P>0.01 for both).
IL-8 levels were significantly higher in the AqH of patients with BU and FUS than in the AqH of control subjects (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively).
We observed a significant decrease in IL-10 levels in the AqH of patients with BU and a significant increase in VEGF levels in the AqH of patients with FUS compared to controls.
BACKGROUND To investigate the gene expression levels of interleukin 10 (IL10), IL18, interferon gamma (IFNG), IFN-gamma receptor (IFNGR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in patients with active Behçet's uveitis.
