Objective To explore the correlation between the expression of inflammatory factors in human peripheral blood and inflamm-aging.Methods In this experiment,the young and old volunteers were recruited to detect mRNA and protein levels of IL-6,IL-8,TNF-α and IL-1β in peripheral blood.Results The results indicated that mRNA expression levels of IL-6,TNF-α and IL-8 in the old individuals were higher than the young individuals,and the protein concentration followed the same trend,with acceptable P value suggesting a great statistically significant difference.In addition,the relative expression profiles of mRNA and protein concentrations of inflammatory cytokines were analyzed by heat map,and the same results were found.Conclusions It shows that the expression level of inflammatory cytokines up-regulates along with age goes on over 65,which has the potential of inflammatory biomarkers of aging.
