We studied the levels of serum and lymph cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of BC. BC was induced by injection of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea to Wistar rats. The animals underwent surgery, or received polychemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil), or surgical treatment was combined with polychemotherapy; in a special group, Panagen (fragmented DNA) was added to polychemotherapy. Cytokine concentration in the lymph was measured using Bio-Plex Pro Rat Cytokoness 24-Plex Assay test system (Bio-Rad). In rats with BC, the content of most studied cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-12, IL-13, MIP-1α, MIP-3α, RANTES, TNFα, and MCP-1) in the lymph and blood was significantly higher, while the content of IL-10 and GRO/KC was lower than in intact animals. Surgical resection of the tumor led to a significant decrease in the content of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the lymph. Polychemotherapy led to a significant decrease in the content of IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, MIP-1α, MIP-3α, and RANTES in the serum and lymph. Comparison of the cytokine content in the serum and lymph of operated animals after polychemotherapy with and without Panagen showed that the content of most cytokines (IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17A , IL-18, GRO/KC, IFNγ, and MIP-3α) was higher after Panagen administration.
