Abstract:
Asthma is an airway inflammatory disorder. Vitamin (Vit) D is a potent immuno-modulator. It suppresses Interleukin (IL)-17 and induces IL-10. This study aims to investigate the role of IL-17A and IL-10 in predicting asthma control in case of Vit D supplementation. Seventy-nine patients enrolled in this study (42 patients received Vit D supplement and 37 patients did not receive the supplement). The enrolled patients were assessed at the beginning of this study and after 3 months. At the end of the study, there was a significant improvement in pulmonary function parameters in the Vit D supplemented group when compared to both the baseline values and the non-supplemented group. There was a significant decrease in serum IL-17A levels and a significant increase in serum IL-10 levels in comparison with the baseline values (p < 0.0001). The highest correlation of FEV1% improvement percentage was associated with the baseline IL-17A/IL-10 ratio (r=0.65; p < 0.0001). The IL- 17A/IL-10 ratio at a cutoff ≥ 2.66 had a sensitivity of 72.2% and a specificity of 83.3%. The IL-17A/IL-10 ratio had an adjusted odds ratio=4.66 (p=0.04). Vit D supplementation reduces the serum IL-17A levels and elevates the serum IL-10 levels in persistent asthmatic patients. So, Vitamin D can be used as an adjunct therapy side by side with the conventional asthma therapy. The IL-17A/IL-10 ratio seems to be a possible predictive biomarker for asthma improvement in patients depending on Vit D supplementation.
