Serum and tissue CTACK/CCL27 chemokine levels in early mycosis fungoides and disease control by ifn-a and puva therapy.

Summary

Background:  Neoplastic T cells recruitment into the skin is a critical step in mycosis fungoides (MF) pathogenesis and the cutaneous T-cell attracting chemokine CTACK/CCL27 might be involved.


Objectives:  Aim of our study was to investigate the clinical and prognostic significance of CTACK/CCL27 levels in patients with early stage MF.


Methods:  Serum samples and skin biopsy specimens were collected from 15 patients at the time of the diagnosis, and after the end of treatment with PUVA/IFNα2b combination therapy. Serum samples were also collected from 20 healthy donors as controls. CTACK/CCL27 serum levels were ...
