Paediatric onset of multiple sclerosis: Analysis of chemokine and cytokine levels in the context of the early clinical course

Original language description

Background: Inflammatory activity in children with paediatric onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) is higher than that in adults with MS. Chemokine/cytokine profiling in children may provide new insights into the disease pathogenesis and clinical course. The levels of chemokines/cytokines and their roles in POMS remain largely unknown. Objective: To identify the possible utility of chemokines/cytokines in children with POMS, we analysed their levels at the time of disease diagnosis and in the context of subsequent clinical relapse. Methods: C[sbnd]C and C[sbnd]X[sbnd]C motif ligand chemokines (CCL2, CXCL8, CXCL10, and CXCL13), interleukin (IL)-4, IL-17A, interferon gamma and B cell-activating factor in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 34 POMS patients and 20 age-related controls were measured using Luminex multiplex bead and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques. Nonparametric tests were used for statistical analyses. Results: The CSF levels of CXCL8 (p = 0.002), CXCL10 (p = 0.001), and CXCL13 (p&lt;0.0001) were higher in POMS than in controls; CXCL10 and CXCL13 correlated with pleocytosis and oligoclonal bands. A subsequent clinical relapse occurred in 17/34 of the children; the median time from the diagnosis of POMS was 6 months (range, 2-64 months). The follow-up period of patients who did not experience a clinical relapse was significantly longer than the time to first relapse (p = 0.003). The initial CCL2 level was lower in relapsing than in non-relapsing patients (p = 0.063) and correlated negatively with the CSF/serum albumin ratio and positively with the time to relapse (p&lt;0.04). Conclusions: Elevated CSF levels of CXL10 and CXCL13 in children with POMS at the time of disease diagnosis reflect inflammatory activity and suggest the involvement of adaptive immunity; elevated CXCL8 levels further indicate the involvement of innate immunity. An initial low CSF level of CCL2 may be associated with an unfavourable early MS course.
