Core Tip

Core Tip: Local expression of cytokines may be involved in pathophysiology of different forms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. We found a different profile of local expression of cytokines in subgroups of patients with erosive esophagitis and non-erosive forms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. For the first time we have revealed a correlation between gene expression of interleukin-18, tumor necrosis factor alpha, GATA binding protein 3, toll-like receptor 4, differentiation cluster 68 and mean esophageal pH and an association of acid exposure with expression of interleukin-1β, interleukin-18, tumor necrosis factor alpha, toll-like receptor 4, differentiation cluster 68 and β-2 microglobulin.
