Effects of interleukine-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α ) on dopamine of the cerebral palsy

Abstract

The caused of disability on cerebral palsy is unknown, but the human cerebral hypoxic, which affected to the motor cortex and motor pathways in the brain is believed cause of it. The major clinical manifestations are abnormality of movements and posture patterns. The immunity against the cerebral palsy (CP) is unknown, but interleukine-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are expressed in cerebral damage including cerebral palsy. By biological effects of IL-1β and TNF-α, they affect to the neuron dopaminergic in the brain, so dopamine in the vesicle of this neuron delivered to the extracellular tissue and to the intravascular compartment. Expressed dopamine in the extracellular and intravascular compartment has effects on motor pathways. IL-1β, TNF-α and dopamine all together detectable in cerebrospinal fluid and in the blood. The aim of this study is to known the effects of IL-1β and TNF-α as collectively to the dopamine in cerebral palsy. Diagnosis of the cerebral palsy is based on clinical manifestation in childhood by the abnormality of movements and posture patterns without involve the alteration of IL-1β and TNF-α and dopamine in blood. This study is conducted by observational method as cross-sectional study. Material of this study is serum from the blood plasma, take by peripheral venous blood vessels; IL-1β and TNF-α are analysis by ELISA and dopamine is analyzed by RIA. The results of this study show, that IL-1β and TNF-α as collectively affect dopamine in cerebral palsy. The result of this study is very suggested in the cerebral palsy.
