Abstract

Until now, no study has evaluated CXCL9 in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection-related mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) patients in presence/absence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AT). Serum CXCL9 and CXCL10 have been measured in 60 patients with MC (MCo), in 35 patients with MC and AT (MC-AT), in sex and age-matched controls: 60 healthy (Control 1); 35 patients with AT without cryoglobulinemia (Control 2). CXCL9 and CXCL10 were higher in MC-AT patients than Control 2 (P<0.0001) and MCo (P=0.01), in MCo than Control 1 (P<0.0001), and in Control 2 than Control 1 (P<0.001). By defining a high CXCL9 level as a value>2 SD above the mean value of the Control 1 (>122 pg/mL), 5% of Control 1, 34% of Control 2, 91% of MCo, and 97% of MC+AT had high CXCL9 (P<0.0001, chi-square). By simple regression analysis CXCL9 and CXCL10 were related to each other in MCo (r=0.426, P=0.001) and in MC-AT (r=0.375, P=0.001). We first demonstrate high serum levels of CXCL9 in cryoglobulinemic patients, especially with AT. Further, a strong association between serum CXCL9 and CXCL10 has been observed in patients with MC in presence/absence of AT.
