Objectives: The development of inflammation in asthma involves an intricate network of cytokines that recruit and activate numerous immune cells. This study was aimed to compare serum levels of IL-10, IL-17F, and IL-33 in asthmatic patients and non-asthmatic controls and correlate cytokine levels to asthma severity and various clinical, spirometric, and laboratory variables. Methods: Using ELISA, serum levels of IL-10, IL-17F, and IL-33 were evaluated in 44 asthmatics (14 mild persistent, 15 moderate persistent, and 15 severe persistent) and 44 controls. Results: This is one of the first reports showing a significant difference in serum levels of asthma-associated cytokines, anti-inflammatory IL-10, and pro-inflammatory IL-17F and IL-33, in the same subset of asthmatic patients. Our results showed diminished level of IL-10 and elevated levels of IL-17F and IL-33 in asthmatics than in controls (p\textless0.001). Assessment of cytokine levels between subjects of different gender, age group, and BMI showed non-significant differences. Correlation analysis of cytokine levels to clinical variables showed that IL-17F is associated negatively to FVC % predicted (forced vital capacity) and FEV1% predicted (forced expiratory volume in one second) and positively to number of allergens sensitized and FEV1 reversibility. A strong negative correlation was found between IL-10 and IL-33 levels (p=0.001). Conclusions: Negative correlation between IL-10 and IL-33 levels may reflect a converse relationship between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines in an individually balanced pattern. The association between IL-17F level and asthmatic phenotypes such as reduced FVC and FEV1, higher degree of sensitization, and post-bronchodilator reversibility needs further assessments.
