Cytokines play an essential role in the control of tumor cell development and multiplication. However, the available literature provides ambiguous data on the involvement of these proteins in the formation and progression of glioblastoma (GBM). This study was designed to evaluate the inflammatory profile and to investigate its potential for the identification of molecular signatures specific to GBM. Fifty patients aged 66.0 ± 10.56 years with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas and 40 healthy individuals aged 71.7 ± 4.9 years were included in the study. White blood cells were found to fall within the referential ranges and were significantly higher in GBM than in healthy controls. Among immune cells, neutrophils showed the greatest changes, resulting in elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The neutrophil count inversely correlated with survival time expressed by Spearman's coefficient r s = -0.359 ( p = 0.010). The optimal threshold values corresponded to 2.630 × 103/µL for NLR (the area under the ROC curve AUC = 0.831, specificity 90%, sensitivity 76%, the relative risk RR = 7.875, the confidence intervals 95%CI 3.333-20.148). The most considerable changes were recorded in pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, which were approx. 1.5-2-fold higher, whereas tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and high mobility group B1 (HMGB1) were lower in GBM than healthy control ( p < 0.001). The results of the ROC, AUC, and RR analysis of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 indicate their high diagnostics potential for clinical prognosis. The highest average RR was observed for IL-6 (RR = 2.923) and IL-8 (RR = 3.151), which means there is an approx. three-fold higher probability of GBM development after exceeding the cut-off values of 19.83 pg/mL for IL-6 and 10.86 pg/mL for IL-8. The high values of AUC obtained for the models NLR + IL-1β (AUC = 0.907), NLR + IL-6 (AUC = 0.908), NLR + IL-8 (AUC = 0.896), and NLR + IL-10 (AUC = 0.887) prove excellent discrimination of GBM patients from healthy individuals and may represent GBM-specific molecular signatures. |
