Abstract
MethodsCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma levels of 38 biomarkers from 20 neurosarcoidosis (NS) patients were compared to healthy controls (HC). ResultsIn CSF, 25 biomarkers were significantly elevated compared to HC: IFNγ, TNFα, TNFβ, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12B, IL-15, IL-16, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL11, CCL13, CCL17, CCL22, CCL26, CXCL8, CXCL10, TNFR2, VEGF-A, PIGF, SAA, VCAM1, and ICAM1.In plasma, 12 biomarkers were significantly elevated compared to HC: IFNγ, TNFα, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL17, CXCL10, VEGFR1, PIGF, SAA, VCAM1, and ICAM1. ConclusionNS patients have profoundly elevated cytokines, chemokines, vascular angiogenesis, and vascular injury biomarkers in CSF and plasma.
