Introduction: Soluble cytokine receptors (sCRs) modulate the in vivo activity of cytokines. Deficient sCR production could participate in the pathogenesis and course of Crohn's disease ( CD). The aim of the study was to examine the profile of sCRs in CD patients and their modulation by infliximab and corticosteroids.Methods: We prospectively examined active CD patients (aCD) treated with either infliximab (n=21) or corticosteroids (n=9), CD patients in clinical remission (rCD, n=20), ulcerative colitis patients (UC, n=24), and healthy subjects (HS, n=15). Cultures of colonic biopsies were also examined from CD inflamed (n=8), CD non-inflamed (n=7), and healthy mucosa (n=8). Levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), soluble TNF receptor I (sTNFRI), soluble TNF receptor II (sTNFRII), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), soluble IL-1 receptor I (sIL-1RI), soluble IL-1 receptor II (sIL-1RII), IL-6, soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R), and sgp130 were measured using ELISA.Results: Higher levels of sTNFRI (p
