Abstract
Objective: to study the correlations of serum levels of cytokines, regulating the synthesis of structural macromolecules of connective tissue, in undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia in adolescent girls with menstrual cycle disorders. Materials and methods: 176 adolescent girls aged 11 to 17 years with menstrual cycle disorders (MCD) and undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) and 69 healthy girls of the same age were examined. Levels of cytokines IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, TNF-α, OPG, RANKL were studied in serum samples. Results: a significant increase in serum IL-6 and RANKL (p<0,01), as well as a tendency (p<0,1) to increase OPG production was found in adolescent girls with UCTD with MCD. In UCTD with NMC, correlations between the studied cytokines are much more common than in the control group (p=0,01). The most pronounced in adolescent girls with UCTD are positive correlations (moderate strength) between the concentrations of three cytokines IL-6, RANKL and OPG. Conclusions: The data obtained reflect the mechanisms of cytokine dysregulation of metabolism and remodeling of connective tissue and indicate the development of a weakly expressed systemic inflammatory process in UCTD with MCD in adolescent girls. The results of the study can be used to develop effective individualized schemes of therapeutic and preventive measures.
