The concurrent occurrence of microbial infection, autoimmunity, and IBD suggests the presence of complicated profiles of cytokines in patients with CGD. However, the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine responses to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) are poorly defined in patients with CGD.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>We evaluated the cytokine and chemokine profiles in two patients with X-linked CGD. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and stimulated with various bacterial and fungal MAMPs.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Production of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α was enhanced by PBMCs isolated from patients with X-linked CGD as compared with those from healthy controls when stimulated with bacterial and fungal MAMPs.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A dysregulated balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines may contribute to the manifestations of recurrent infection, autoimmunity, and IBD in patients with X-linked CGD.</p>","PeriodicalId":13364,"journal":{"name":"In vivo","volume":"39 4","pages":"1902-1911"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12223621/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144511784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
