Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the spine and sacroiliac joints with unidentified etiology closely associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Recent studies have reported that immunological and oxidative stress factors are implicated in AS pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the oxidative and immunological factors in AS patients with or without MetS compare to control group. Real-Time PCR measured expression level of cytokines, transcription factors and related miRNAs. In addition, Th17 and Treg frequencies and cytokines secretion were evaluated by flowcytometry and ELISA methods, respectively. The oxidative stress biomarkers were also assessed with biochemical methods. In AS patients with MetS, higher Th17 and lower Treg frequency were observed. Increased levels of NF-kB and AP-1 mRNA expression were seen in AS patients with MetS (p = 0.0263 and p = 0.0104, respectively). MiR-146a and miR-223 were significantly decreased (p = 0.0005, p = 0.0161, respectively) and increase in miR-21 (p = 0.0002) was observed in AS patients with MetS compared to AS patients without MetS. Additionally, the secretion of TNF-α (p = 0.0167), IL-1β (p = 0.303), CCL2 (p = 0.0254), CCL3 (p = 0.0119), CXCL8 (p = 0.0364), adiponectin (p = 0.0183) and the levels of SOD (p = 0.0421), NO (p = 0.0451) and CAT (p = 0.0128) were increased in AS patients with MetS. We were not observed significant differences in TOS and GPX levels between studied groups. The higher levels of oxidative stress and immunological inflammatory markers in AS patients with MetS provide further evidences on the oxidative stress and immunological relationship in these patients.

D014409	Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha	Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D015415	Biomarkers	Measurable and quantifiable biological parameters (e.g., specific enzyme concentration, specific hormone concentration, specific gene phenotype distribution in a population, presence of biological substances) which serve as indices for health- and physiology-related assessments, such as disease risk, psychiatric disorders, ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE and its effects, disease diagnosis; METABOLIC PROCESSES; SUBSTANCE ABUSE; PREGNANCY; cell line development; EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES; etc.	Biochemical Markers,Biological Markers,Biomarker,Clinical Markers,Immunologic Markers,Laboratory Markers,Markers, Biochemical,Markers, Biological,Markers, Clinical,Markers, Immunologic,Markers, Laboratory,Markers, Serum,Markers, Surrogate,Markers, Viral,Serum Markers,Surrogate Markers,Viral Markers,Biochemical Marker,Biologic Marker,Biologic Markers,Clinical Marker,Immune Marker,Immune Markers,Immunologic Marker,Laboratory Marker,Marker, Biochemical,Marker, Biological,Marker, Clinical,Marker, Immunologic,Marker, Laboratory,Marker, Serum,Marker, Surrogate,Serum Marker,Surrogate End Point,Surrogate End Points,Surrogate Endpoint,Surrogate Endpoints,Surrogate Marker,Viral Marker,Biological Marker,End Point, Surrogate,End Points, Surrogate,Endpoint, Surrogate,Endpoints, Surrogate,Marker, Biologic,Marker, Immune,Marker, Viral,Markers, Biologic,Markers, Immune
D016207	Cytokines	Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner.	Cytokine
