| Background: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and brain stromal cells produce immunosuppressive cytokines, contributing to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Interleukin-38 (IL-38) is a novel anti-inflammatory cytokine and a natural modulator of the innate and adaptive immune system. However, its biological roles in brain tumors are not well defined. Objective: To assess the serum levels of IL-38 and the percentages of TILs in the tumor tissues of patients with primary brain tumors and to determine their associations with the pathological features of the disease. Methods: IL-38 was evaluated in sera using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections were scored to determine the percentages of TILs in four different areas: the invasive margin, central tumor, perivascular and perinecrotic areas. Results: IL-38 serum levels were significantly higher in low- and high-grade tumors than in healthy individuals, meanwhile, its levels remained consistent between these two grades. Although no significant difference was found in IL-38 serum levels between different histological subtypes of brain tumors, its levels were significantly higher in intra-axial brain tumors than in extra-axial ones. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was observed between serum levels of IL-38 and tumor size in patients with low-grade tumors. TILs were detected in at least one of the four examined areas; however, no statistically significant correlation was found between IL-38 levels and TILs. Conclusion: Our data may suggest a connection between IL-38 and immune suppression and tumor progression in primary brain tumors. Further investigation is needed to uncover the role of IL-38 in the brain tumor microenvironment. | ||
